by Megan Murphy

As seen on the Today show. “Maybe the thing I love most of all is how these sweet rocks give people hope, sometimes when they need it the most.” —Becca Anderson, author of Bad Ass Affirmations

It all started with a single stone on a beach in Cape Cod and now spans the globe. The Kindness Rocks Project, founded by Megan Murphy, is based on the profound truth that one kind message at the right moment can change someone’s day, their outlook, and their whole life. The project has become an international grassroots movement! The messages on these thoughtful pebbles take many gratitude, affirmations, encouragement, offers of hope, all signposts along the way for someone to find at exactly the right time.

Sometimes, all it takes is just one simple positive message to change your perspective and that is what this book aims to do. Through visual photos of inspirational Kindness rocks, readers can connect the meaning of the rock to their life situations or circumstances. Along with instructions on how to create your own rock, you will

How to cultivate compassion and connection

How to grow through hard times

Affirmations to boost self-esteem and offer hope

How one act of kindness can change a life

“This idea is so right on so many levels. The tactile reminder of thoughts to enrich our lives. The unlimitedness of rocks similar to the abundant ways we can be more compassionate. And, I love its double physical rocks with meaningful messages, and, the fact that kindness truly does rock.” —Allen Klein, author of The Art of Living Joyfully

Just what the world needs now

Spread the message of hope and faith with kindness and love .This book tells us how to use our creativity to do this one rock at a time.

I was looking for some inspirational sayings to put in cards for the homeless....I ended up reading through the entire book in one sitting! The author explains how the kindness rock project got started with a walk on a beach in Cape Cod...and the rest is history. The book is divided into six chapters which include Strength, Encouragement, Grief and Healing, Faith, Personal Growth, and Self-Love. Each chapter contains wonderfully uplifting inspirational sayings and many that will definitely strike a chords in everyone. At the end, a section on how to make your own painted kindness rocks is included and a website - www.KindnessRocksProject.com. I highly recommend this book to everyone of all ages.

This book is filled with color photos of some of the many painted rocks Ms Murphy has scattered. I found one of these rocks about two years ago when I hadn't heard anything about this. Since then I have seen more and more rock "gardens" and wonder if they all tied back to hers or perhaps started independently by folks who heard about hers. I think it is a safe, lovely way to put a little kindness and compassion into a world that most definitely needs more. Read through it, it won't take you long, and then take a few moments to make a kindness rock or your own... or a sticky note if you don't have a rock handy. Put it out somewhere and who knows, it could make all the difference to someone who finds it!
