The Gentle Ripples of Yes

The butterfly effect means small actions can lead to big changes. Like a butterfly flapping its wings and causing a distant storm, one quiet choice can shape our future. It shows how everything is connected, even simple moments can lead to powerful transformations over time …

Over the past year, I’ve seen this truth unfold in my own life. A single decision, to take a walk, go on a journey, or say yes to a trip, or to start painting, led to deeper healing and new strength …

There was the trip to the Maldives, a place that was never on my list. I hadn’t planned it, yet it turned out to be a gentle gift. I didn’t know I would need that much in my core, and I would love so much of the stillness of the sea, the crystal-clear color of the water, the softness of the days, it all felt like life was giving me something I didn’t know I needed …

Now, as I reflect, I see that letting myself explore the unknown began with small, quiet steps. Like the flutter of a butterfly’s wings, those moments created ripples I’m still feeling today …

April, 2025, Maldives

And see, I’m learning to trust the small steps because they just might lead me somewhere beautiful …

Butterfly effect is real, I believe, and you?

  2. I agree that actions, especially our own, can have a ripple effect. A gentle smile, a harsh word, an unexpected act of kindness, they all emanate out from us and affect the world around us.

    I believe that every decision we make – picking this grape from the bowl instead of that one, turning left instead of right, changing our mind about what color shirt to wear – creates a new timeline for us and leads us in a new direction. Sometimes for better, sometimes for worse, but in the end we can always make another decision and change course again.

    Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend.
