Love the concept, know of some super stars deserving.

I first heard this story well over a decade ago when Jon told it at a workshop I attended and I kept a card from that for a short bit of time and passed it along. I was able to hear him speak again at a professional day for my current employer and the mission he has started still resonates. I truly believe that we all come into each others’ lives for a reason and there are no restrictions that make us the right person to make a difference. I am passing this forward to a young man destined for great things as a part of his upcoming birthday! My hope is that he realizes just how important he is and how much his presence can be a positive in others’ lives. Happy Birthday Zachary!

To let me know that as a bus driver for head start I mean more to the kids on my bus than I know

My boss said he couldn’t think of anyone who works harder and he wanted me to know how much he appreciates me. What a great boss!!!!

I work in the Head Start program in Southwest Mo. I was given a copy of the book and when I read it I knew I wanted to share it with staff in the program. I shared the story about Nathan and the 7 of Heart with our bus drivers and gave each of them a 7 of Hearts card to thank them for making a difference with children and families. I told them that they are not “just a bus driver”. I told them they might never know how one simple moment of connection with a child or parent might have a life-changing impact.

I say and think the word “just” a lot until now. God willing, the book will go to one of my daughters, the card to one of my grand-daughters. It just could be the beginning to breaking a generational curse of defeat and depression,

It was put in my tip jar during a gig — thank you to whoever did this! 🙂

After reading Nathan’s story and drying my tears, I have come to realize that even though I know the meaning that is being conveyed, it is very easy to forget the significance of the simple moments. We all need a little push to stop and smell the roses so to speak. Life is so fast paced at this time with technology being what it is, I will forward the book and the card to benefit not only our granddaughter but her mommy and daddy as well. Thank you so much for the 7 of hearts and Nathan! I received the book from Missouri Community Action Network origination, whom I donate to every pay period.
