Like a ripple in a pond...

When I decided to share my CI experience with a local newspaper, I had no idea what the impact would be. My hope was that perhaps someone locally would benefit from my story.
But like tossing a pebble into a pond and watching the ripples spread slowly in all directions, there have been some wonderful and unforseen results.
First, the story was picked up by the Associated Press. Next, my company put my story on its intranet site. (That led to my discovering I had a cousin I didn't even know existed working at another branch of my company).
And, finally, I was asked to write something about my experience for the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation. (I'm working on that now, and like everything else, I'm running late on it!)
Ripples, ripples ...all across the pond.
Something to think about, isn't it?
