The journey of cards travelling around the world.
The journey of cards travelling around the world.
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.”

I received this card at an Information Services Department meeting at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, OH. I will give this card to someone who leasts expects it, with the intent it will make a difference in their day!
Whoever receives this card, I want them to know that they will conquer and defeat their illness!

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.

I received it from my grandma and will be giving it to a teacher.
I will be giving my card to a teacher at Etowah who has really been there for me this school year. I couldn’t have done it without her and I’m very grateful for her personality and her love for teaching.
Marsha gave me the card and told me I had made a difference to her and my students. I read to the 3rd grade class I was teaching in a long term substitute job. The student made cards for family at home first telling them what a difference they had made in their lives. Then they made cards for the cafeteria staff. The response from the family and cafeteria staff was amazing. Tears, thank yous, and many hugs. The gift that keeps on giving, a true blessing!

Carolyn, she is always so thoughtful. when she took me to the airport I had no idea she would hand me the book, she said I had made an impression on her life.. she did in mine too..I dont mind admitting for me I fell in love w/ Carolyn over the holidays.. We delivered meals on Thanksgiving day and something clicked in me after knowing her almost 5 months. I saw a BIG HEART in her and Knew I was in a rare moment of finding someone real. Not sure who I will pass it to next, Im watching carefully for that person..
