Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from April 29th

In a world constantly seeking the grand finale, the big bang, the dramatic pivot, the life-altering moment, we often miss the quiet miracles that live in the in-between. The truth is, it’s not always a thunderous event that changes everything. More often, it’s one small drop a single moment of insight, a gentle word, a quiet act of kindness—that sets a new path in motion. One drop becomes another, and then another, rippling out into something much larger than we could have ever predicted.

The ripple effect begins the moment we choose to be present. It could be a smile shared with a stranger, a pause before reacting harshly, or a thoughtful message to someone who’s hurting. These simple acts, small as they may seem, hold immense power. They shift energies, soften walls, and open doors to connection. They create a rhythm of change, one that moves through hearts, homes, and communities without needing applause.

We look to the world for transformation, hoping institutions, governments, or movements will change everything overnight. But real, sustainable change is personal first. It is born in the whisper of a thought, the weight of a feeling, and the intention behind our actions. Our thoughts are the first drops. Our words carry them outward. Our actions plant them into the soil of the world around us.

It is in the subtleties where the greatest impact lives. Like water shaping stone, consistency in small, mindful choices leaves a lasting mark. Speak to others in the tone you would want to receive. Let your words be an invitation to joy, comfort, or clarity. Think before you speak, not just to avoid harm, but to ensure your voice becomes a balm rather than a blow.

We are all seeking something: peace, meaning, a better way to live. But we don’t find it waiting for someone else to do the work. We find it by becoming the ripple. By embodying the change. We are at the beginning of the wave that can rise and carry others with us.

This is the heart of what I speak to on my shows: the magic of the everyday, the extraordinary within the ordinary. Through the stories of others and reflections of self, we explore how each of us can create meaningful change, not by waiting for the world to shift, but by choosing to drop love, kindness, and purpose into the waters of life.

Join me. Let’s ripple together.
