For a bunch of years now, I have been including a hand-written note alongside the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, bruised bananas, Doritos, Oreos, and fruit snacks I pack for my kids' lunches.

Big deal, right?

Well, that's what I thought until others started to take note (pun intended), and this whole Napkinisms thing came to fruition. What started out as a way for me to embarrass, encourage, and inspire my kids has turned into a platform where hundreds of thousands of people have been able to see and understand, "it doesn't have to be grand to be great."

Take it from a guy who writes stuff on paper towels. If these silly, small, seemingly insignificant, and more-often-than-not verging on the obscene messages can be used to make a difference in the lives of other people, I guarantee you can, too.
