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.

Reviews for A Pebble for Your Thoughts: How One Kindness Rock At the Right Moment (Kindness book for children)

"“Small acts of kindness are one of the few things every person is capable of─regardless of age, geography, socioeconomic status, education, occupation─it just takes intention. Teaching our children about their power to create positive ripples of hope everyday and wherever they find themselves, and the cumulative impact of all those small acts of kindness, is one of the most powerful lessons we can impart to our children."" ―Molly Yuska, Founder of Project Giving Kids “Kindness is the great healer that lives inside of you. No matter what hardships you face─grief, anger, frustration, despair─there is a part of you that is your own best friend, even if you have felt estranged from yourself for years. Welcome yourself back home, knowing that self-compassion is your birthright, your greatest resource.  Offering yourself kindness is how you bear the unbearable, how you begin to heal yourself, and how you become a beacon of hope to other people in need. All you have to do is show you care.” ―Heather Stang, MA, C-IAYT, author of Mindfulness & Grief “Kindness is ‘love made visible’ and that is exactly what these beautiful kindness rocks do. Even more so they make kindness tangible. You can hold a kindness rock in your hand and keep it somewhere to be a daily reminder that there is a lot of good in the world.  You can also leave it somewhere where somebody can find it; somebody who might be hurting or grieving, struggling with illness, loss or great difficulty  Finding this message in the form of a kindness rock can uplift, offer cheer, healing,  it can make all the difference in someone’s life. We have never needed kindness more that now.  Megan Murphy and The Kindness Rocks Project are doing very vital work of inspiring us and reminding of us of the ‘better angels of our nature.’ Now, take up your paint pens and join the kindness rocks revolution!” ―Random Acts of Kindness Foundation “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 message: physical rocks with meaningful messages, and, the fact that kindness truly does rock.” ―Allen Klein, Author of The Art of Living Joyfully “Maybe the thing I love most of all is how these sweet rocks give people hope, sometimes when they need it the most: cancer patients, people who lost a loved one, someone suffering from depression and anxiety and those who feel lost and alone. This book will inspire you to make a difference in the world.”―Becca Anderson, author of Real Life Mindfulness and Badass Affirmations “When you begin to focus on extending kindness toward others, you’ll feel more kindness coming toward you. Every Kindness Rock creates a ripple of love and kindheartedness into the world, spreading a positive message out into the world. Megan Murphy’s marvelous book will not only teach you how to make these remarkable rocks but, more importantly, why you should create kindness rocks. What a wonderful way to share your heart!”―Susyn Reeve, author of Heart Healing and The Inspired Life ""We are here to love 24/7 and kindness rocks spreads that in such a special way. The heart connections created by A Pebble For Your Thoughts and this important movement can help heal the world and bring more caring compassion between people, which is much needed now."" - Judy Ford, author of Every Day Love ""Megan Murphy actively makes the world a more loving, and less painful place. Her story and kindness rocks teach us that through helping others, we can find healing within ourselves."" - Kate Allan, author of You Can Do All Things ""As a prayer artist, I see each of these Kindness Rocks as a prayer. This book is a wonder and The Kindness Rocks Project is making the world a better place. Brava, Megan Murphy for this inspired idea!"" - Janet Conner, author of Writing Down Your Soul"
