I was moved by Jon's story and not wanting to be "just a" convention attendee, I am looking to make a difference in others lives and make simple moments significant and then pass it on. Hopefully soon I will write what I do with this card.

I've been getting physical therapy the last few months from OSR in Eden Prairie, MN. Lauren is always there to greet me with great enthusiasm. I appreciate that she takes the 'simple moments' to make an impact. She'll ask how my race preparation is going (or race results went). She'll run down to the bank if they don't have exact change. She promptly has my insurance coverage details when needed and the list just continues! All in all, she makes it an easy and fun part of my day!

Received this card at a Human Resources conference along with the book Significance, while hearing the story of Nathan in the conference I cried. then went to room that evening and read the book, I have always tried to teach my daughters to look around and to know their worth as a child of mine but more importantly as a child of God. And that they have a purpose on this earth but never thought of telling them about the small purposes. Until now I have passed this book on to them and the look on my 17 year old daughters face was amazing. She is going through so many emotions right now going into her senior year of high school and she actually said to me "I'm going to slow down a little not feel so rushed and just enjoy the days with my classmates, eyes wide open and a smile on my face and not worry so much about the rush to find my place as an adult". Even if we worry about tomorrow so much is happening today to enjoy so thank you and my daughter for a lesson I will not forget.

Patrick waited in myself and my son today at a local restaraunt. What Patrick didn’t know was how much my boy needed today to be special. He has worked the entire summer and not had a chance to do anything FUN! I took off to make a day of Top Golf and lunch of his choice. Patrick’s fun attitude about work and excellent customer service made an ordinary visit extraordinary! Thank You for that! Please pass this on to someone who makes a difference for you!! Keep smiling!

I loved the book. I will be passing it on to my daughter who is a very Courageous, Giving, Adventurous woman. She has spent the last five years living in Nicaragua working with the children and teachers there. Living in one of the poorest countries in the world, learning their language and adapting to their ways. She has told me many stories from riding the chicken bus to the sadness of the kids not having toys. She and her friend ventured out on their own to do this amazing work and have now formed their own Non-Profit organization, www.futurerootsproject.com. Please check out their website and see what this amazing woman is doing!
