I was planning the trip to check out The Invisible Collection’s exhibition featuring Damien Langlois-Meurinne. I’d had my eye on a few pieces for upcoming projects, but honestly, I wasn’t going there for anything time-sensitive. 

After a hectic start to the morning, however, I was running late, missed my train, and almost canceled my visit altogether. “There’s more urgent work,” I kept telling myself.

“Quiet, little voice!” I said. “I need this.” And I really did.

I can't believe that next week will already be Hanukkah and Christmas!

Even though Hanukkah feels extremely late this year, I still don't feel prepared—and no, I'm not talking about holiday shopping! As usual, the end-of-year work crunch has felt, well, pretty crushing. And I’ll be honest: I just haven't been able to make the time to truly savor the season so far.
