By Peggy LindseyPeople rarely consider how their actions impact the world. In fact, the majority of us go about our daily routines without a second thought. Yet, these behaviors unmistakably reverberate throughout our physical and social world. It matters not if one’s conduct is polite or rude, the influence spreads. As we consider the pebble hitting the stillness of a pond, we notice the resulting ripples across the water. The

We become so strong, so self-sufficient, that our normal response becomes “I can handle it. No big deal.” But’s it’s all pretend, isn’t it. A front we create to hide how broken we are.
