I received it from one of the staff members at Maine Youth Leadership conference. I hope to share it with someone who understands the meaning of caring for others and goes and makes a difference!
I went to MYL this past weekend and we learned some incredible skills and built inseparable bonds with some amazing people. We developed true giving to our community and how much of an impact we can have.

Ken asked us to take them at an event he was speaking at.
I am a cleaner in a homeless shelter in London, Ontario. I was cleaning a TV lounge one day and it was an absolute mess. To say I was frustrated would be an understatement. When I left the lounge, one of the residents stopped me and apologized for the mess that had been made. He also told me that the person what had made the mess had been spoken to and that this would not happen again. I thanked him and continued on with my tasks. That small gesture made my day so I gave the person this card and told him about the difference he had made in my day.
I’m a 38 year old male, who was struggling with the curve balls of life. A marriages that I tried to keep but ultimately ended. A life or death feeling trying to understand my purpose after losing my brother SSG. Justin K. Adams, U.S. Army at 31 years of age. No clue where I was going or what I would even do. Then, God blessed me with Michelle. A woman who has been by my side, telling me That “You are someone special, look at all the people you’ve helped as a paramedic!” She is truly the definition of love and how even in my darkest moments she’s helped me to carry on and keep fighting.
I’m a guy who’s been through so much in life and has lost a lot. She’s helped me to see that even though I’ve lost my brother and have been divorced. I’ve also gained not only a wife, but a sister and brother and a step-son and a second family.
No matter where we are in life, we are not “Just a” … we are someone and we can succeed and make a difference. Sometimes it just takes our own “7 Of Hearts.”

My boss shared Jon’s story with us in our monthly staff meeting. She gave us the book along with the card. I was very moved by Jon’s story and realized how often I say ‘I’m just’. This book is very empowering and I will be sharing the book along with the card. This book and the 7 of Hearts is very motivating and I intend to share as often as I can. Thank you J9 for giving me this gift.
Jon Petz delivered an upbeat speech at our company on May 11th 2017 about the 7 of Hearts card. His speech gave me a different way of looking at life through my same old eyes.
