As winter lingers (well hot summer here in Melbourne), February invites us to tend to our relationships - not just with others, but with ourselves. Like ripples intersecting in water, every authentic connection creates new patterns of possibility. This month, we explore the quiet bravery of reaching out.
What relationship (personal/professional) would blossom with 10% more of your attention?
When did last month's "tiny brave action" surprise you? What did it teach you?
Complete this sentence: "I feel truly seen when ______."
Who deserves a heartfelt "thank you" you haven't expressed yet?
What emotional risk have you been avoiding that could deepen a connection?
What non-romantic relationship brings unexpected warmth to your life?
Ripple Challenge of the Month: Tell someone specific why they matter to you.
(Example: "Dad, our annual Chinese New Year trips are truly my all-time favorite memories." or "Friend, your texts always make me laugh when I need it most.")
