"kindness Rocks project" Painting rocks with messages
« on: July 02, 2017, 07:08:08 PM »
Does anyone here live in a community that's doing the paint-a-rock and hide it about town fad known as "the kindness Rocks project"?  I first heard about this on my sister-in-law's blog, as she and my niece are doing it.  They live on the other side of the state from me.  Well, only a few days after learning about this fad, I find a rock outside my clinic's door.  It turns out there is a group doing it in my county too.

Well, I just painted my first two rocks, but I decided to be sneaky with mine.  Only toy collectors or die-hard 80's kids will get the true meaning of my rocks.  The first is white and has so-soft Paradise's symbol with the phrase "Find your own Paradise." And the other has Tenderheart bear's symbol with " Have a Tender Heart".  I'd like to continue with other secret pony messages, like pink hearts and "have a Peachy day!" And so on and so on.

So has any one else heard of these positivity rocks?

I wish we could post pictures directly from our smart phones here so I could show you mine.

First for me too, but it sounds like a wonderful idea! I'll have to try this sometime! I've been looking for ways to share love around town.

First I've heard of this. But it reminds me of how my cousin and I used to color rocks and sell them when we went to the flea market with Grandma.

People are doing it here, and at a local carnival last weekend there was a booth for people to buy & paint rocks to take and hide.  I'd like to do it but I'm way too busy.  :(

I live in the thumb of Michigan and we've been doing it here. It's so much fun for everyone. It's really getting people off their phones and games and getting them out. And it's been great at getting families to spend more time together.

I've never heard of such a thing Gator but I want to start this fad up in my area.  Maybe I will....and it will make the twilight sparkle!

such a sweet idea!

An artist in Portsmouth, UK, did something similar - a large number of pebbles were taken from the beach, written on, then thrown back on to the shore. Every so often, folks find them. You are supposed to put them back for others to enjoy but one of my nieces sneakily kept hers  :lol:
