The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Mark Twain
Your Year of Helping On Purpose. This is the year the care you pour into small things gets seen for what it has always been, which is a kind of love. A beginning you started before you felt ready finds its footing in spring, and you realize you were more prepared than the nerves let you believe. By summer, someone you have quietly looked after returns the favor without being asked, and it lands like proof that the giving was never one-way. A skill you offer almost reflexively becomes the thing a whole group leans on, and you let yourself feel useful without apologizing for the pride in it. Keep starting before the doubt finishes its sentence. The year rewards the hand that reaches first, and yours reaches more naturally than most.
