A message of hope written in sidewalk chalk on April, 7, 2020
This started on April, 6, 2020 as a way for me to keep busy and spread hope during the Covid-19 Pandemic. I created a QR code, and printed 135 copies of them. 25 of them have kind messages on them. These were placed around my neighborhood (East Norwich, New York) so people could scan it and see the poster below. Hopefully, if you're reading this, you've probably seen the QR code in person. Flip over the piece of paper to find a handwritten message. Keep spreading love and kindness (from 6 feet away), and the world will be a better place!
***Feel free to print out either poster below! Maybe, post a selfie with the QR code, or the poster on social media with the hashtag: #positivityposter2020 you might see it here on this page!

If you're in the area (East Norwich, New York), and see a QR code feel free to take it with you. Also flip it over to see a handwritten note. Examples of handwritten notes are below.

It rained on April 8, 2020 and to my surprise most of the QR codes turned into a colorful mess. I did not want these to go to waste so I turned them into the rainbow collage you can see below.
Rain made the codes colorful!
Time to cut these up.
I sorted them into different piles.
The rainbow is finally complete.

The rainbow hanging up for all to see.
