The Kindness Rocks Journal

The Power of Kindness in One Small Pebble

“This idea is so right on so many levels…kindness truly does rock.” ―Allen Klein, Author of The Art of Living Joyfully

#1 New Release in Rocks & Minerals

Kindness Rocks as seen on the Today show

A rock for each kindness. 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 forms: gratitude, affirmations, encouragement, offers of hope, all signposts along the way for someone to find at exactly the right time.

Kindness matters. Now more than ever, people are longing for kindness and connection. During these uncertain times, daily news reports focus on disturbing events of terrorism, gun violence, senseless murders and political bickering. We are bombarded with images that evoke fear and hostility. A Pebble for Your Thoughts provides a positive counteraction to all this negativity.

Learn to be kinder to yourself and others. 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. Instructions on how to create your own rock are also included.

Inside learn:

• To cultivate compassion and connection
• How to grow through hard times
• Affirmations to boost self-esteem and offer hope in hard times
• How one act of kindness can change a life
• A completely unique kind of art therapy for healing and helping

Fans of Rock Art Handbook, The Kindness Challenge, and the Chicken Soup For The Soul books will love A Pebble for Your Thoughts.
