Kindness Rocks is a movement that has gone viral recently. And the bug has caught me too! I first found it on Facebook, someone had painted a cute little butterfly on a rock and wrote "SMILE" on it. And it made me smile. So I looked further into it and found an entire community of rock painters!
Since I always seem to have crafting supplies on hand, and an abundance of rocks in my yard, I grabbed a few and tried painting on my own, and found I enjoyed it! I took one of them and left it tucked unto a planter at my work place. It was found, because it's gone .... and I'm still hoping someone will post a photo of it on one of the Facebook pages. I'm currently watching "Arizona Rocks" , "Phx Hidden Rocks" and "MGR" (Mesa Gilbert Rocks).
When I looked into the Kindness Rocks movement, I discovered it was started by Megan Murphy in 2015 on Cape Cod. She wrote "You've got this" on a rock and left it on the beach. A friend found it, and she started leaving more rocks. As you can see, it sure has caught on!
The Kindness Rocks Project page says: "One message at just the right moment can change someone's entire day, outlook, life." Their purpose is to cultivate connections within communities and lift others up through simple acts of kindness.
It's kind of the same thing I've done for years in my office. I have a small white board on my door and each day I change the quote, with the same thought that it just might matter in someone else's life.
Here's my recent batch of rocks ready to be spread around my community!
