About

Welcome! I’m Carolyn Rubenstein, author of Perseverance: True Voices of Cancer Survivors (How Young People Turn Fear into Hope and How They Can Teach Us To Do The Same); non-profit organization founder; authenticity advocate; Huffington Post and Psychology Today blogger; believer in resilience, gratitude and respect; and graduate student.
[For my formal bio, go here.]

That may sound a bit heady, and maybe it is. So I’ve created this site to be a place for great conversation, and for providing you with tons of fresh, inspiring content for your downloading and sharing pleasure. Together, we’ll uncover truths, persevere on our quests and inspire one another as we take a stand against life-as-usual. (And, you know, talk about the things we love, big and small. The things that make us smile, squeal, sigh. A couple of mine: awesome quotes, yoga, and my dog, Lila Rose.)

A Beautiful Ripple Effect celebrates the essential journey we’re on, encourages questions, fosters understanding. I believe in collaboration, and consider you a partner here. Your comments and input are crucial! Is there an idea you’d like to partner with me on? Want me to be a part of your next project? Have a burning question? Let’s talk! Leave a comment, or use any of these methods for getting in touch:
