I
found this painted rock with the phrase “You Rock” along the Saucon Rail Trail,
Hellertown, Pennsylvania, on a beautiful summer afternoon in late August.
This
painted rock is likely part of the The Kindness Rocks Project, which was
founded by Megan Murphy of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, who wanted to spread
encouraging messages to strangers by writing them on rocks she found on the
beach. The practice spread and launched similar projects across the United
States.
The
grassroots project encourages people to leave rocks painted with inspiring
messages along the path of life. People are encouraged to take one, share one
or add to the pile. You can see just how much impact she’s made when looking up
#TheKindnessRocksProject. Learn more about how to join the movement at http://thekindnessrocksproject.com.
“You Rock” is a slang phrase of praise or encouragement conveying “You're
awesome (at something)” or “You can do it!”
