It is such a joy to be able to welcome @Sharon Prahl , to our community. I met Sharon in @Mark Eldridge fantastic Community and it has been really great to start to get to know Sharon. It is getting late in Chicago but not so here in Australia, but the great thing about digital business, is that you get to what needs to be done, in what ever time you have available. Sharon please use this post to share your social links and your business links and let us know more about your community that you are creating as well and then when you are done, please join us all as we answer the prompt below. Sometimes your ripple isn’t loud — but it’s life-changing. What’s one ripple from your past that led you to this moment?

Let’s share a photo from our recent shots on our phone…Because sometimes a single moment captured reminds us what’s still beautiful, still hopeful, still worth holding onto. 💛 Today is a hard day. Not dramatic. Not loud. Just one of those quiet, heavy days where life asks you to dig a little deeper. Someone recently said to me, “How are you still so upbeat… considering everything you’re carrying?” The truth? I’m not upbeat instead of the hard stuff. I’m upbeat because I’ve learned to anchor myself to what gives me strength —✨ my family,✨ my purpose,✨ my faith,✨ and this beautiful community that reminds me I’m not doing life alone. On days like today, I feel the value of community even more. A place to show up as you are. A place to breathe. A place to be reminded of the light you carry, even when you can’t see it yourself. So, even if today is a hard day for you too, share a photo that brings you a moment of peace, joy, or grounding. Let’s lift each other the way community was always meant to. 🌿 I’ll go first. 💛

@Terence James welcome to our Creative Hearts Collective. I am so glad you’re here! Terence has been very supportive in The Human Practice which is our member @Stacey Coley amazing community and now it is a great pleasure to welcome Terence to our community here. Where in the words of Stacey, where we do "community". We have had a theme running through the threads for the past couple of days about the "Ripple effect". Please feel comfortable Terence to give an introduction about yourself and feel free to share any of your social and business links in this thread and then answer our collective prompt below. If your life were a pond, what kind of ripple are you hoping to create right now — kindness, creativity, courage, or clarity?

💡 Nothing changes… until you flip the switch. It never ceases to amaze me. You can have a power source (in this case I am thinking of my business training and system), you can even have the entire house ready to light up. But if you never flip the switch…you stay in the dark. That’s exactly what it’s like when people want a new lifestyle, more time freedom, or a digital business that actually supports their family — but they never plug into the system that gives them power. The moment you flip the switch and connect to:⚡️ A proven system⚡️ Clear training⚡️ Supportive mentorship⚡️ A community that lifts you…everything lights up. Suddenly you can see where you need to go. You learn what to do and soon you feel the momentum of what you are creating. You are not building alone anymore. Sometimes the biggest transformation starts where you are at, and we just need to connect to the power source.

Isolation makes everything bigger…but community makes everything seem lighter. What’s one thing that feels easier because you’re part of a community like this? Your answer might encourage someone who really needs it today. 💬💛
