Today, the AWESOME can be found, one rock at a time, in Florida. It started as a little bit of kindness between two women and has now grown to a movement and community over 40,000 members strong. Jen Justiniano began painting rocks as a way to cope with anxiety following a hurricane, posting photos of her creations on Facebook. At the same time, her friend Carrie Cerve was sharing positive messages on the platform, encouraging others to spread kindness. The two women started a Facebook group with a simple concept: members paint rocks with uplifting messages like “Be kind,” “Spread kindness,” and “Love,” then hide them around the community. Those who find the rocks often feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude, leading them to join the group and share their stories. Random acts of creative kindness to brighten people’s day, Jen and Carrie, THAT’S AWESOME.
