I bought some smiley stones for my grandma who was dying of cancer

June 11, 2019

My mother in law and I were at your shop not too long ago, you opened up for us on a Saturday. I bought some smiley stones for my grandma who was dying of cancer. I sent her a couple at a time, every month or so. She had them spread around her house in dishes. She just passed away two days ago, and my dad went for the memorial service and I couldn't go.

Kept my Seed of Happiness with me at all times

April 19, 2019

I was given a SoH about 8 years ago from an anonymous spreader of happiness during a time that my youngest son (2 years at the time) was having some of his most difficult times (he is autistic) and keeping up with his therapies and behaviors was quite the challenge. I kept my SoH with me at all times. Sometimes in my pocket, but always within in grasp – it truly got me through some difficult situations.

A read for you - MADD

October 10, 2018

Our candlelight vigil for work is this Saturday. I typically give the “opening remarks.” Typically I say something about hope, etc. However, this year I’m giving the closing remarks. Our “token of honor” or gift to the families that attend are Seeds of Happiness. I just wanted you to see my closing remarks that I am going to read at our vigil.

A Smile from Virginia Tech

April 11, 2018

I have given a few hundred of your smiles away and always have a jar of them ready for the next opportunity. But last year when I wanted to send my daughter, a Virginia Tech student, a jar of orange and maroon smiles to share with her friends when they really needed one, I didn't see any maroon ones to order.

Happy Seed Song

February 14, 2018

Last week, after cleaning up from our event, we had a few seeds left over. My coworker's daughters (ages 4 & 8) stopped by with her husband to say hello. They are the sweetest little girls ever and they're so well behaved. My coworker asked if the girls could have some seeds and we gladly obliged.

An inexpensive way to let people know that they are thought of and cared about

September 01, 2017

Thank you for bringing these silly little lumps of clay into my life. They are the exact tool I have been looking for (and probably didn't even know it). The biggest frustration for me this year has been my finances. See, I like to give. I like to do for people. And not having the means for which to do that makes me grumpy. But the Seeds have been an inexpensive way to let people know that they are thought of and cared about.

I smile back and think about my beautiful sister

May 24, 2017

I also wanted to share with you how much my Seed of Happiness means to me as well as tell you my story. When I was in 5th grade, my older sister was diagnosed with cancer. She went through many rounds of chemo and radiation and became cancer free about a year later. Life went on and things were going great until she went in for her check up and found that the cancer was back. She decided to fight and go through more chemo and radiation.
