Some say goodness is the greatest thing, but I say the greatest thing is to be alive and powerful and bold.
Emily Dickinson
Your Year of the Direct Ask. This is the year your willingness to name what you want out loud becomes the most useful thing you carry, and the competence you have been quietly accumulating finally has a worthy vehicle. A project that stalled because no one said the obvious thing out loud gets unstuck the moment you say it, probably in April. By midsummer, a skill you built in the background, the kind you barely noticed acquiring, steps into the foreground and does real work for you. Someone whose opinion you respect registers your confidence and adjusts their whole estimate of what you can do together. Ask for the room. Ask for the resources. Ask for the version of the thing that actually fits. The year rewards the question that others were waiting for someone to ask first.
