Northeast Ohio Rocks! Reaches 100,000 Members

On April 5, 2017, Northeast Ohio Rocks! Reached 100,000 members. 


The group started on July 24, 2016.  As I added that 100,000th person, I felt so much excitement for what we have accomplished here. We are 8 months old and in a toddler’s life just taking our first steps. It is truly amazing. So many of you have found art and creativity again. So many of you have blossomed right before our eyes. And, the amount of random acts of kindness we have shared is immeasurable. We have grown into this amazing thing. We have spread across Ohio, the United States and the World. Our little painted rocks are on a journey to share kindness. I need to thank my admins and maybe for the first time you are learning who they are but I have an incredible team of admins that love and support this group. Take a bow

Thank you to my lovely daughter-in-law, Mallory Powell, for saying “mom, you’ve got to do this”. It has been truly amazing. So many of us have learned to share kindness again and it makes us better people. We share with new people and they become better too. We all have become better, kinder people because of painted rocks.
