Sedona AZ (November 1, 2017) – A conspiracy in Sedona aims to change the world–slowly, but surely. It’s a group of local residents dedicated to fomenting outbreaks of kindness everywhere. They started small, making “Kindness” charms out of broken, recycled and surplus donated jewelry and dispersing them, anonymously, around Sedona–then across the nation and around the world. Each charm has a clever tag, saying “Take me home and spread kindness.” Members have already planted over 6,000 charms (on benches, in hospitals, from tree branches), in every state in the USA and in more than three dozen countries, to remind people they are loved.

Here’s a few more thoughts to add to his message.
