This month, I learned something powerful: the best projects begin not with certainty, but with shared courage. Like tossing a pebble into a pond and watching the ripples fan outward, there’s magic in simply beginning - especially when you do it with someone who makes the work feel like play. These reflections are for anyone ready to start before they’re “ready”.
What’s one project/habit you’ve overcomplicated that could begin with a tiny, joyful step?
What’s a past "leap of faith" that turned out better than you expected?
Who inspires you to take creative risks? How can you engage with them this month?
Who needs encouragement to start their own bold idea? How can you support them?
If your future self high-fived you today, what would it be for?
What’s something you’ve been waiting to "feel ready" for that you could start imperfectly now?
Ripple Challenge of the Month: Text your person: “What if we just tried… [idea]? No pressure, just fun!”
