About
111 New Beginnings is a mental-health project created in honor of my daughter. Engraved and carved rocks are intentionally placed in the world to be found — each carrying a short message meant to ground, comfort, or quietly remind someone they are not alone.
How This Began
​
111 New Beginnings exists in honor of my daughter, Isabella, who I lost on October 12 2025
Isabella loved the beach. She loved the water, the quiet, and especially finding rocks to bring home. It was one of those simple things that felt small at the time, but now carries so much meaning.
After I lost her, I started carving rocks just for myself. It was grounding — a way to stay connected to her and to those moments we shared. I would take the rocks back to the beach and throw them into the water, never knowing if they would ever be found again.
At first, it was just for me.
But over time, it felt like they could be more than that.
Why This Matters
​
I wanted to create something that could help other people, too.
I know to some this may seem like a small or even silly thing — just a rock, just a message. But for someone who is struggling, who is tired, who is looking for even a small bit of light, it might be enough to get them through the next moment… or the next sunrise.
That’s what this project is about.
Small, quiet reminders.
Moments of connection.
Letting hope keep moving forward.
If one of these rocks helps someone — even briefly — then Isabella’s light continues to move through the world.
Mission
111 New Beginnings exists to honor love, raise awareness, and gently remind people that hope can still be found.
Through small acts and shared moments, we aim to encourage strength, connection, and the courage to keep going.
Community-Focused
This is a mental health awareness project dedicated to connection, compassion, and hope — encouraging people to keep moving forward and seek the support they need.
