When we experienced a tragic loss in our family, it changed the way my husband and I felt about life and the way we were living it. The things that were important to us before became less so, and time, connecting with family and friends, and matters of the heart became our focus.

I found that this time of mourning required some creativity on my behalf to help me get through and find a sense of balance and purpose. I did a lot of soul searching and started to write about things that I felt were helping me heal. Many of these writings made their way onto the products that you see in our store.

When my husband and I emerged from the fog we'd been living in (our mourning process), we started to understand the impact the kindness we were shown from those around us had upon us. We realized that the more we did for others, the better we felt about ourselves. This epiphany led us to creating Ripple Kindness Project which today has distributed over 150,000 kindness cards around the globe and teaches kindness in schools via our primary school curriculum.

We have also recently launched our outreach program Nourish Network where we assist needy school families in Melbourne by providing food, necessities, emotional support and love. Each purchase from our store helps fund our program.

I'd like to thank you for being part of our Ripple of Kindness and hope that our small contribution brightens your world.

With warmth and hugs

Lis :)
