In just three days, 67 handmade kindness tokens were picked up from the Ripple Station™ in a Los Altos neighborhood, creating dozens of small moments of connection. A permanent home for a seven-year kindness movement.

Read the backstory of how the Ripple Station™ went from being an idea to a Whatsapp message to this community-supported box holding kindness ripples.

From grey slime that shifts to waves that comfort to fireflies flickering, this is my shape of solitude.

This isn't about finding the "right" way to age or the "correct" relationship with beauty. It's about creating space for the honest conversations we rarely have.

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

I am so grateful that I’m becoming so clear about what I offer that the right connections are deepening while I’m being able to gracefully release others.

This isn't just the story of how a logo came to be. It's the story of how visual design can become a vessel for values.

Not everything meaningful scales. Not every ripple is visible. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t working.

I’ve spent time making sure this feels like a gift, not another productivity metric. A conversation with yourself, not a personality test promising quick fixes.

I am here to witness an unfolding and to let people know they’re not alone.

If you’ve ever wondered whether a small gesture matters, let this be your answer. It does. It ripples. And it returns in ways you can’t predict.

We get to choose whether we build funnels or wells, whether we sell transformation or invite people to find it themselves.

At a neighbor’s dinner party, I finally claimed my creative identity—out loud, without shrinking.

If you’d like to give this technique a try and spread some kindness in your communities, I’d love to hear about it.

Slow down and rediscover the art of connection. Little Tokens Big Ripples invites you to send snail mail across oceans, forging authentic bonds in a fast world—one handwritten letter at a time.

This wasn’t a talk about beauty, not really. It was a talk about how we see ourselves and how we see one another.

This post traces the origins of The Ripple Practice™, the meaning the words hold, and the way language can turn an ordinary moment into a gentle act of witnessing.
