The first book I‘m reading on my new Kindle is some nonfiction that‘s been waiting in my Kindle Library forever… Happy Monday! ☕️😁

Got this on Kindle after someone recommended it to my best friend. I looked into it and was intrigued…

Day 21 - #Ripple #BeautifulWords
#TheRippleEffect #GregWellsPHD

ripple
noun

ˈrɪp.əl

a small wave on the surface of water:
The stone she threw caused ripples to spread across the lake.

a sound or feeling that spreads through a person or group of people, gradually increasing and then becoming smaller:
A ripple of laughter/applause, etc. ran through the crowd.
News of the war hardly caused a ripple (= people showed little interest).

An interesting and quick read. Lots of good advice although most of it was familiar. I liked how he connected everything and how it helped give me some much needed motivation to get back to better living.

What an wonderful way to start a book! #amazing #lifechanging
