Ever since becoming an involuntary member of the "Life-Changing Events Club" in 2009, when my daughter lost oxygen to her brain for six minutes, I have viewed life with a new perspective. That new perspective has been the greatest gift of my life. I believe: That in life's ordinary events, there is extraordinary meaning. Within our lives, there are many life lessons that, when applied, can vastly prepare us for what is to come in our lives. Everything we do and everything that happens to us in our life - happens for a reason. The reason may take many years to come to the surface. But it most certainly will. And, if you are paying attention, you will realize how the universe works magnificently. Here is my vision and mission statement for my work: To improve the quality of other people’s lives by converting my life experience into the seeds of love, kindness, gratitude, and appreciation, which I will plant in the souls of others. I will be present and nurture this new spirit during chaos and crisis and share in and enhance the bloom of this spirit during accomplishment. John Passaro
