View care through the lens of trying an ordinary activity differently. Challenge the notion that giving must always equal self-sacrifice or exhaustive effort. Listen carefully to suggestions that suggest a sustainable, gentle expansion. Let purpose meet reflection in the way you approach this. Let this small step help you connect separate ideas into a useful whole as you separate an intention from an expectation.
