At The Good Ripples (www.thegoodripples.com, we are inspired by the profound insights shared by people who have had near-death experiences (NDEs). The term "near-death experience" was popularized by Dr. Raymond Moody in 1975. These experiences have been reported throughout history from people all around the world and many share common characteristics. They often include a deep sense of peace and love, and many NDErs describe a "life review" where they feel the impact their actions, thoughts, and words had on others - without judgment. One of the most powerful messages from NDErs is the importance of the ripple effect. After their experiences, many people return with a renewed sense of purpose and a strong desire to help others. They understand how even the smallest actions, words, and thoughts can create ripples that touch countless lives, for better or worse. At The Good Ripples, we hope to inspire others to embrace this idea and to "RIPPLE WELL" every day — to try to choose kindness, compassion, and positive impact in every moment.
