I have tell you a story

Hello!

Thank you so much for shipping my order so so fast!  You have a super system of notifications.  :0)

I have to tell you something ...  It is really a long story but I'll just cut to the chase.

I bought my first set of 10 seeds at Journey's of Life here in Shady Side, PA.

The first seed i gave away was to Linda.  She works at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital and she interviewed me for a position as a Health Unit Coordinator.  My first interview in over 10 years.  I packed a bright yellow seed in my purse and decided I would give it to her when we finished the interview and said goodbye.  You should have seen her face when I plopped that little glob of bright yellow clay in her hand!!  She was so surprised and happy at the same time.  When I contacted her a few days later to thank her for interviewing me she told me that "i made her day."  It made a big impression on her.  No one had done anything like that before.

It looks like I will be receiving a phone call from their HR department by the end of the week to offer me the position!!  I will work in the waiting room at Presbyterian Hospital and be the go between the doctors/nurses and the families.  This is a level 1 hospital so they receive trauma cases all day long.  I will be with those families as their loved one is in surgery.  This is also the waiting room for people who have scheduled surgeries, transplants and major heart surgery.  Can you imagine how many seeds I will need????  Do you know what an impact your little seeds are going to have????

Linda loved the seed so much I decided to order her a whole bag of her own.  Seeds she can now give to people she meets through out her day.  I'm so excited!!

Thank You!

Jennifer

Sorry to babble so much.... I just thought you needed to know what an impact your seeds have had on my life and all the live I will touch from her on out.

SPARK ⭕ Seeds take away the loneliness and spread happiness Inbox

July 25, 2024

"As a Police Chaplin I have found that being a law enforcement officer is a lonely job. For most of their shift they are in a car by themselves with a police radio as their only communication. 

With that said, I have begun giving out Seeds of Happiness to any and all law enforcement personnel I come across. Whether they are at a restaurant or sitting in their police car the smile on their face is priceless when I have a bag full of seeds and I’m able to show my appreciation to them as I let them pick out a color send of their choice. 

My words of encouragement and their appreciation for their “seed” is a blessing to them as well as me. Some have been so taken by the kindness shown to them that they ask for another seed for a spouse or friend, what a way to spread happiness. 

So buy seeds of happiness, put them in a bag, carry them in your car and make someone’s day! Give a person a reason to smile today…. One seed at a time!!!"

SPARK ⭕ A surprise at a place setting lifts heavy hearts

July 24, 2024

"My 48 year old brother-in-law died very unexpectedly. He left behind 3 children ages 12-21. After his inurnment service we were all invited to my mom's for dinner. We walked into her house. The table was beautifully set with fine china and crystal. At each place setting was a "Seed of Happiness" it changed the whole trajectory of the remainder of the evening. They truly brought smiles to our heavy hearts. I decided right then and there, I needed to find out how to have these available for purchase in our church gift store."
