The Ripple Journal

A quiet corner of the internet. No noise, just small moments and RIPPLE Practice™ reflections, written with care. This is my version of social media—slowed down and stripped back.

Here, I share small moments: handwritten tokens, fragments of poetry, stories from everyday life. Some tender. Some raw. All real. You’ll find microblogs updated regularly, sometimes multiple times in one day. I write to connect, to make meaning, and to notice what often goes unseen.

Thanks for being here.

Permission, Granted.

Some months, we make tokens. Other months, we journal or finger-paint while stories unfold. Today, we gave each other permission to just be.

About Surrender

We talked about letting go of perfection. About trusting the process. About the tension between control and flow, darkness and light, resistance and release.
