Imagine...Rippling Today

I happen to like the John Lennon. In fact the older I get the more appreciation I have for the powerful lyrics that John Lennon wrote for his solo efforts as well as those he wrote for The Beatles. I especially like the song Imagine and every time I hear it still brings a smile to my face and makes me think. I remember listening to that song over and over again on my parent's record player in our downstairs living room; so much so that my Mom would often retreat to her bedroom just to get away from my insistence on playing it.

I tried to imagine what John Lennon was asking from me way back when and still do to be perfectly honest. Call me a romantic but the concept of us all living as one really made an impression on me as a small kid. The imagery that the words painted within my heart made it clear that it was okay to want everyone to be included...everyone to be friends. And though I was a painfully shy kid I tried my best. After all the song asked me to right?

Recently I was asked by someone why I felt that Rippling was so important. The first word to leap from my tongue was imagine. Imagine a world of possibilities that your Ripple actions can make on others. Imagine the doors that could be opened by just taking a chance. Imagine the way you would feel when you know you did something out there to make a difference.

You might say I am dreamer, but I'm not the only one. Rippling works. Rippling makes a difference. Rippling is changing lives. Rippling is changing companies. Rippling is a way to bring us all together....so we can work as live as one.

I hope someday you will you join us...

Ripple On!!!
