I'm so happy you're here!  My name is Adrienne and I would like to personally welcome you to The Kindness Movement.  

I created The Kindness Movement to honor the legacy of my dad, Joe Wardy, a beloved teacher who devoted his life to kindness.  

In his retirement, he returned to the classroom and began passing out inspirational quotes to his high school students.  They loved it and soon started asking him for quotes so often that he had to keep them in his wallet at all times.  

When he was in the hospital last year, a group of students created a glass jar filled to the brim with quotes--some were quotes he passed to them, some were quotes about how he inspired and uplifted them.  

I had the opportunity to meet many of his students after he passed away and they all showed me their quote collections.  One girl had a jewelry box filled with quotes, another boy had twenty quotes tied together with a rubber band.  One student told me, "Your dad gave me the strength to speak up for myself when I was being bullied." 

His small act of kindness made a huge difference in the lives of those students.  ​

At The Kindness Movement, we believe that kindness is contagious.  No matter how small an action may seem, it can make a huge impact.  We can all make a difference in the world.  

My father had a mission on this earth: to spread kindness in the hopes that others would do the same. I founded The Kindness Movement to continue his work. It is my hope that his message of kindness towards others will continue to touch the world and help others make their lives more meaningful.
