 This week has been full of exciting milestones and a little bit of holiday energy, making it feel like life is moving all at once.

Zulfi’s First Concert 🎶
The biggest highlight was my son Zulfi performing in his first concert—and he even had a speaking role! 🗣️ Watching him step on stage with confidence and share his part with the audience was such a proud moment. All the practice, nerves, and preparation felt completely worth it, and it reminded me how special these “firsts” can be. It’s moments like this that make me stop and appreciate the little victories in our everyday lives.

Improv Prep & Upcoming Performance 🎭
On the creative side, I’ve been planning for our next improv shows. We’ll be performing Improv-A-Go-Go at Strike in January 🎉, which has me excited and busy sketching sets, running through games, and thinking about how the audience will react. Preparing for live performance is always a thrill, and I love the challenge of bringing something spontaneous to life on stage.

Piano Lessons for My Son 🎹
Amid all this performing, we’re also focusing on personal growth at home. I’ve been planning Zulfi’s piano lessons this week, giving him the space to explore music more intentionally. Seeing him light up while learning and creating brings a steady, quiet joy to the week. Balancing creativity, practice, and family time is a challenge, but moments like this make it all feel worthwhile.

Holiday Plans & Shopping 🎁
Of course, the holiday season is weaving through everything. I’ve been making gift lists ✅, checking off presents, and thinking about ways to make celebrations feel meaningful. Between shopping, planning, and soaking up the little festive moments, I’m trying to enjoy the season without letting it feel overwhelming.
