For weeks now, I have been looking for a container to gather the small victories my colleagues and I celebrate in the office.

A batch of cookies. There’s nothing extraordinary about it. But sometimes when you feel you can do nothing, you look for one small thing you can do.

I realized I’m a very uneven party thrower. I go way over the top ordering stickers to make Hershey kisses into Dog kisses, but I don’t start food prep for the party until about an hour before guests arrive.

My favorite holiday is next week—Chinese New Year!
