When we put ourselves out there and broaden our horizons, we’re allowing our curiosity to take the lead (that can be scary, but rewarding!). This can look like: learning a new language, trying a different type of art or cuisine, taking a chance on an entirely new career path, or dabbling with a new-to-us movement or exercise.
What topics, skills, or hobbies spark your curiosity? What interests you most?

Here’s the truth: The relationships we have with others help us build community and connection with the world around us.
This is also the truth: Some relationships in our lives will naturally be closer than others and have different standards, but overall they each have their own level of significance to us and our needs. Those relationships can be with family and friends, coworkers, neighbors, teachers and classmates, or even our health care teams.
Out of the relationships in your life, which ones do you nurture the most? What does that nurturing look like?
