How did the idea of “ripples” come about?
About a year into writing, I started noticing that some great organizations had been spawned from the original passionary and that their efforts created “ripples” of positive momentum by newly enthused activists. I realized that contributions, even small ones, often have ripple effects. Good acts ripple out—we don’t know who they will affect, but they create positive change. Each passionary has created ripples which have gone on to touch others’ lives…then others…then others.
