It started with Post-it notes.

Before heading to work each day, I would scribble messages of positivity and kindness on Post-it notes and leave them in random places throughout the city. What started as a way to cope with the loss of my mom soon became a tribute to her memory. She had a heart full of love and kindness, always extending a helping hand—even to strangers. I truly believe that acts of kindness create a ripple effect, inspiring others to pay it forward and making the world a more compassionate place.

Over time, my simple notes transformed into Tiny Jars of Stars. As a child, I would sit beside my mom as she patiently taught me how to fold paper stars—one of my most cherished memories with her. I want to share that warmth with others, so I began leaving behind tiny jars filled with these stars, each carrying a message of hope and encouragement. Every jar is meant for someone to find and keep, a small reminder that kindness still exists. I hope these messages will uplift others and inspire them to pass on that kindness to those who need it most.
