A few months ago Joy Elliott was online looking
for fun ways to entertain her grandchildren when
she found Lakeland Rocks. Lakeland Florida was
encouraging people to paint rocks and hide them
around town for others to find and enjoy - painting,
hiding, finding - all fun activities. She posted on St.
Simons Live Update “wonder if we could do something
like this here?” SSI Rocks was up and running!
Their Facebook page, SSIrocks, now has over 3,000
members! Post your creations and your finds on
Instgram at #ssirocks.
Further investigation of how this movement
began led to The Kindness Rocks Project created by
Megan Murphy of Cape Cod. “Living near the ocean,
I walk the beach daily. Losing my parents at a young
SSI Rocks!!
age meant losing my advisers, my sounding board,
and my role models. During difficult or stressful
moments in my life, I found myself looking for
“signs” on my morning walk, such as a heart shaped
rock or a piece of sea glass. I perceived these small
beach treasures as “signs” or as a divine message
and the random inspiration I needed to signify that
things would be o.k. Maybe I wasn’t the only one
looking for such signs!” says Megan. Thus The
Kindness Rocks Project was born and now has
worldwide members.
Back on St. Simons SSI Rocks is flourishing - and
we want to encourage you to participate! It goes like
this: You paint - hide - hunt - post - rehide - keep
(your favorites) - rock on!! With identification on
the back - #ssirocks - you can spread the love of St.
Simons Island around the island and across the land.
All you need to get started is rocks and paint, or
Sharpies. On the island check out Ace Hardware or
Strother Lumber in the Village for rocks and sealer.
St. Simons Drugs, Just 4 Funn Toys and Ace should
have paint and pens... and you’re off and running!
