Join The Wellness Universe movement to spread good, One Ripple, in support of the
International Day of Peace 2017 by the United Nations

One Ripple Mission: To touch the lives of as many people as we can around the world with acts of love, kindness, and compassion.

Social media & mainstream news inundate us with political wars, economic, racial, religious, and gender divide, natural disasters and climate change controversy. While we need to understand the challenges our planet faces, let us also remember and shine a light on the beauty, love, compassion and kindness that exists as well.

So many of us wish and hope for a better world. What if YOU could create that better world? Imagine what the world would be like if each one of us intentionally chose to create One Ripple of good.

Every choice you make creates a ripple!

It’s time to step up and help create that better world!  

The Wellness Universe and it’s World-Changers are inviting you to join us on September, 21, 2017 – International Day of Peace as we spread some goodness out into the world.

“Established in 1981 by unanimous United Nations resolution, Peace Day provides a globally shared date for all humanity to commit to Peace above all differences and to contribute to building a Culture of Peace.” We are thrilled to support the United Nations International Day of Peace theme for 2017, “Together for Peace: Respect, Safety and Dignity for All” and create our very own campaign, One Ripple, to bring together humanity through individual acts of peace, love, compassion and kindness.

It’s a simple yet powerful way to create and be the change. Let’s use social media for good! Let’s step up and remember who we truly are and how connected we are as humans no matter what dotted line separates you in the world from someone else.

Let’s not just talk about a better world, let’s create one!

Every choice creates a ripple.
