Rockstars are actual pebbles with star stickers. Simple.

​

I attended a national student leadership conference and returned with the idea in my pocket. :) 

Sept 2018 was tough. My best friend and husband said we needed to take a break. He asked me to leave but I had nowhere to go. As I looked for a temporary place to stay, I felt like I was choking. Being positive is a lot of what I preach so it was tough to put on a face--but the universe wasn't done with me yet. During Homecoming week, the biggest job of my year, a knock on the door turned out to be a server with divorce papers. I was devastated.

​

I knew I couldn't stay like that. I had to fake it. One morning I grabbed the rockstar as a physical reminder--every time I put my hand in my pocket, I could tell myself I was a rockstar. 

I walked around with that rockstar for a couple of days. I wasn't magically fixed but I was coping a bit better. One morning I saw a co-worker struggling. On the verge of tears, she choked back her emotion. I recognized my pain in her. Something inside of me told me I didn't need my rockstar anymore. I walked up to her, told her she was a rockstar and gave her the pebble. The idea was born. Rockstars became my quiet, little gift to the world. :)

Anyone can get a rockstar from my Stud Co kids or me. You don't have to earn it, you deserve it--just for being YOU!
