Krista, You are very good at breaking down the massive into doable steps. Especially the distinction between individual and closing the circle. Too often advocates call on people to both act as a responsible individual and get others to do as you do. For many telling others what to do is not nice and something that can raise ire even when intentions are completely good. Perhaps "closing the circle" is too directive. Better to share one's experiences and how it bettered their situation. Then let the other decide how to act without directions.
