The Ripple Journal
A quiet corner of the internet. No noise, just small moments and reflections, written with care. This is my version of social media—slowed down and stripped back.
Here, I share fragments of poetry and stories from everyday life. Some tender. Some raw. All real. You’ll find microblogs updated regularly, sometimes multiple times in one day, sometimes not for weeks.
I write to connect, to make meaning, and to notice what often goes unseen.
Thanks for being here.
A Restless Mind
My body has been forced into stillness, but my mind is a construction zone. Does anybody else relate?
Sensory Incantation: Plants
I gaze through the window and see the sum of my parts reflected back.
Wisdom from a Kid
My 10-year-old, packing her lunch this morning, ruminates:
“Why do some trees grow taller than others? It’s like people, isn’t it? Some grow fast. Some take time. Some stay small.”
I didn’t even know how to tie my shoelaces properly at 10. (Still don’t!)
Invitation to the Ripple Room
Your invitation to the Ripple Room so we can talk about Surrender.
Sensory Incantations: Rain
Everything is momentary like this burst of blue and the glaring sunlight … as the clouds part and gather again.
Make Kindness a Daily Practice
Being human with each other is what lingers long after the moment has passed.
Clinging on to Hope
Tomorrow will come.
But will it be good?
Will it be civil?
Will kindness win?
Kindness Needs to be Seen
I create little tokens of appreciation and share them with strangers, because kindness deserves to be seen.
Begin with Lines
5 minutes. It’s simple. No dings to respond to. No nervous energy about missed notifications. Simply presence.
Begin with Circles
Perfection is never the aim and specificity isn’t a goal. Just 300 moments of presence.
