The ripple effect

A ripple effect is defined as something that triggers a chain reaction or a series of events expanding like the ripples seen in water. One small action, one small thing, can create a widespread impact. I love this visual of the concentric circles expanding from one common center, one action. That’s how I felt this weekend after my promotion ceremony. I don’t think I could have asked for a better day. The arrangements were beyond anything I could have imagined or desired and the team that put it together made the day feel even more special. Having my family and friends there or online to witness my ceremony reminded me of all the times they stood by me on this journey. After introductions, I stood in front of the attendees and started my speech with simple words, one little action. I thanked God, first and foremost, for being the foundation in my life where all else grows. I then shared Ecclesiastes 3:12-13, the same verses I shared in my blog last week. Little did I know the ripple effect that would occur from those simple words.
