If I am not good to myself, how can I expect anyone else to be good to me?
Maya Angelou
Your Year of Giving and Getting in Equal Measure. This is the year you discover, with something close to glee, that the energy you have quietly poured into other people is also allowed to point back at you. A project or practice you have tended in the background, the one no one has fully seen yet, steps into the light this spring and earns its real audience. I love that this moment is arriving exactly now. By summer, someone whose own flourishing you helped quietly engineer brings you something back, and you let yourself receive it with both hands. The work you have done out of pure generous instinct turns out to have been building your own foundation all along. This year you notice that, and you stand on it.
