    About this ebook

    Now more than ever, people are longing for kindness and connection. During these uncertain times, daily news reports focus on disturbing events such as drug addiction, acts of terrorism, gun violence, airplane rage, senseless murders and political bickering. We are being bombarded daily with images that evoke a sense of fear and hostility. The Kindness Rocks Project provides a positive counteraction to all this negativity. The tagline for The Kindness Rocks Project is “one message at just the right time can change your entire day, outlook, life”. Sometimes, all it takes is just one simple positive message to change your perspective and that is what my book aims to do. Through visual photos of inspirational Kindness rocks as chapter prompts, the reader will engage with the rocks inspirational message illustrating a virtue. The chapter will then expand on that message through a lesson, reflection, story or teaching. Since virtues are traits of character that lead to good behavior, each chapter will highlight and focus on one virtue at a time. This will encourage and ignite a collective consciousness around good behavior leading to random acts of kindness. Each chapter will be concise thus making the book a great inspirational gift.
