First Steps

Exploration doesn't demand a grand expedition or a sudden leap of faith. Often, the most profound journeys begin with the smallest, kindest steps. If a new interest or idea is truly calling to you, what's the tiniest, most manageable action you can take today to acknowledge it? Maybe it's just five minutes of online research, sending a quick message to someone who knows more, or simply visualizing yourself engaging with this new possibility. The goal isn't immediate mastery or commitment; it's simply to make a gentle move forward. Give yourself the grace to begin slowly, knowing that even the smallest pebble creates ripples.
