A New Journey Unfolds

A Beautiful Ripple Effect Badge

You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can’t, but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world… The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way… people look at reality, then you can change it.

- James Baldwin

Four years ago, I put pen to paper. Those first words marked the beginning of a journey that would change me forever. Today, I begin a new journey. I have no idea how this journey will unfold and if or how I will change as a person. I am filled with mixed emotions — both excitement and nervousness.

Yet, I’m ready for the journey to begin. And so, I will be back later today Monday with more information.

Thank you so much for creating such a supportive community and making A Beautiful Ripple Effect more than I ever imagined.

    Oh my gosh, you are so sweet, Michelle! I am just getting to my emails and am so sad we missed each other this weekend. I’m thinking video conferencing! We can virtually see each other! And third times the charm :). I’ll let you know when I’ll be back — likely very soon!
