Ripple Effect

What you do today quietly shapes more lives than you realize.

The idea of a ripple effect keeps surfacing in conversations lately.
It reminds me how impact rarely stays contained.

I think about this when I write my magazine articles.
I try to show up with intention, put thoughtful words on the page, then let them go.
Once they’re out there, I rarely know where they land or what they stir.
Sometimes I hear back weeks later.
Often, I hear nothing at all.

Yet the ripple still moves.

That’s what getting a little better often looks like.
Showing up thoughtfully.
Taking action without needing to see the outcome.

When you do that, something else shifts.
Your presence changes.
Your energy changes.
And the people closest to you feel it first.

Like pollination, the impact often goes unnoticed in the moment.
Small, ordinary movement that quietly sustains far more than the moment suggests.

That influence carries forward.
From relationship to relationship.
From moment to moment.
Often far beyond what you can see.

When you take action, pause long enough to notice what moves around you.
Awareness can shape what comes next.

Notice the ripple you create.
