Saluting the Backline of 'The War Against COVID-19'

In my last post, we honored the Frontline Workers for their call of duty. Today, we pay respect to their significant others on the "Backline" that have to keep it all together at home. These individuals are forced to maintain work responsibilities remotely while homeschooling their kids, cooking, cleaning and somehow managing to stay sane with out complaining. Theses individuals are the foundation for our brave Frontline Workers and deserves an applause for stepping up.

Mahera and I were bewildered by our neighbor who is juggling the Backline responsibilities with 3 kids, while his spouse is working at the hospital. We couldn't help but recoginize his circumstances. In order to alleviate their burden of weekend meal prep, the Khanshab family put our chef hats on and made homemade pizzas. It felt great to get the kids involved and contribute to our community. It only took a few ingrediants and some helping hands to make someone's day that much better.

In a time where social distancing is being mandated, ironically, empathy is on the rise and people are genuinely tryiing to make the world a better place. Let's keeping shining the light on kindness. Now more than ever, the world is desperate for good deeds and we should be the catalyst to motivate each other so it happens exponentially. I encourage you to share your good deeds here and be the #motivationcatalyst for someone else.

Together, Small Acts Of Kindness Are More Powerful Than One

Together, Small Acts of Kindness Are More Powerful Than One Together, we recently mourned the loss of Bill Haggerty and offered our condolences to the Haggerty family. Together, as a united force, we acted on empathy and showcased community support by graciously donating $3,400 to Bill's memorial fund as a token to his family. Together, a group of friends priortized the well being of Bill's younger sibling and one of my best friends, Dan Haggerty. A getaway in the mountains offered him a moment of peace by riding his late brother's board on the slopes. Together, we offered strength and solace to the Haggerty family during this tragic time. Together, our intrinisc motivation to uplift the Haggertys led to small acts of kindness that had a multiplier effect to the love and support we provided. Now more than ever, the world is desperate for good deeds. Share your good deed and be the catalyst for others to follow. Photo of Dan Haggerty with Bill Haggerty's snowboard Phot...

In Memory of Dear Christina Saragaglia

I want to thank everyone who participated in the fundraiser for Christina Saragaglia . It has been an amazing effort that we should feel proud of. I remember waking up in the middle of the night staring at the ceiling thinking about Christina and her family. I was apprehensive to the idea of reaching out to the community in search of support for this cause. I went with my gut feeling and the community response was an overwhelming positive energy during a time of unexplicable grief. In just a few days, together we raised a total of $6,571 for the Saragaglia Family. It is evident how much Stina is loved and also how much she will be missed. God bless America. I miss your laugh. Motivation Catalyst Outcome: $6K Donated to Family United community for a positive contribution

Firefighters to the rescue in 'The War Against COVID-19'

Noah Mueller and the rest of FDNY are being dispatched daily to respond to COVID-19 house call cases. Many of these individuals are fighting for their last breath and require CPR. It's an unprecedented calling and first responders are risking infection of the deadly virus with limited personal protection equipment available. It is no surprise, Noah and the FDNY, are seizing the opportunity to save lives, regardless of the extreme conditions of this pandemic. A couple years ago, I remember asking Noah to share a hero story from his 10+ years as a NYC firefighter. True to the firehouse culture, refused to accept recognition of heroism and instictually responded with a sarcastic story about saving a cat. Firefigthers run towards danger which is an admirable testimant to these brave Frontliners during this pandemic. Mahera and I would like to collaborate on a fundraiser where all contributions go to Noah's firehouse "nosh fund" (firehouse meals su...
