14 Moms I am Grateful For…..
14 Moms I am Grateful For…..Moms have had such an impact in my life over the past 12 months, that I have to finally acknowledged and thanked them for inspiring and teaching me about life.
14 Moms I am Grateful For
1) My sister Judy, she is an inspiration to her kids, to her husband, and dedication to her work. She always invites me to all the important holidays, and makes feel welcomed. Family comes first.
2) Allison Marks one of my closest friends ever. She literally kicks my ass. She reminds me that I am a good recruiter, and a good person. She is a constant critic of my work, and her feedback is thoughtful and caring. I always get the truth, even when its painfully honest (although I don’t always agree with her).
3) My own mom, for sharing her personal journal entry, “about what her life was like the day I was born.” She inspired me to create the writing contests in the community.
4) Justine Lassoff whose love of community created Tuesday Nights. Thank you for allowing me to sponsor one of your events; you taught me the importance of developing personal and meaning relationships.
5) Hilda Pacheco-Taylor the founder of Corazon de Vida, a passionate, compassionate, and forward driving thought leader. She inspired me to find my cause. Be passionate about your cause, and lead it like your life depends on it. She lives and thrives to save and empower orphans in Mexico.
6) My ex-girlfriend Robin who is one of the best moms ever. Her love for her daughter is undeniable. I felt like being in my own family for the first time in my life. She made life fun, in a very edgy way. And tested my commitment to be there for her when she needed me most. I loved being by her side and serving her. She opened up and touched my heart….thank you.
7) Rachael (founder of Rachael Photography) is a recent mom who has come into my life. She inspired me to have monthly fitness events through Kickass for Good. Her eye for photography is insightful, and has given me a new way to connect to my community.
8) Elayne Layken (founder of Webisode Studio) she gave me a voice and allowed me to share my vision through animation video. All the images, and scripts in my head came to life through her creative genius. She gave me simplicity in a complicated world.
9) My sister Patty, she gave me hope…that perhaps I am on to something with Kickass for Good, she loved the concept of competition, and rewarding moms for good. And has done an amazing job as a single mom to raise a child.
10) Special thanks to moms Jen Levinson (Founder Jen’s List), Laura Page (Founder Muddy Warriors), Mrs. Babb (Tommy Babb’s mom whose son participated 3 times in my recent writing contest for Superbowl tickets), Senaca La Fayette (extraordinary volunteer), Marni Rosenthal Chaikin (Co-Founder Pure Barre Brentwood, Santa Monica, Woodland Hills), and Lindsey Arotin (Regional Manager Exhale Spa)…whose enthusiasm, and conversations about Kickass for Good has reinvigorated my commitment to my higher purpose; helping L.A. moms have fun, get fit, and kickass for good.
Give thanks to moms, this Thanksgiving. Who are you grateful for?

5 Reasons to Join Co-Op, Do Good, and Travel
“We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community… Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own.” Cesar Chavez
People often ask me what I love about my life….”I love helping people.” With that said, I have decided to transform my agency into a co-op; so that I can use recruiting to generate proceeds for good and help people enjoy life and make a difference.
A Co-Op is (“coop”) or co-operative (“co-op”), an autonomous association of persons who voluntarily cooperate for their mutual, social, economic, and cultural benefit.
“We are using recruiting for good collaboratively to benefit people who participate and enable us to generate and share proceeds for GOOD.”
5 Reasons to Join Co-Op, Do Good, and Travel
1) Co-Op generates proceeds on your behalf so that you can fund your favorite causes; and to travel the world.
2) You can create your own cause or community project and we will help you fund it.
3) With your help, we inspire people to have fun, participate, and make a difference.
4) We reward global travel for you (family and friends) to see the world.
5) Travel rewards can be paid forward to anyone you like in the world (now you can gift travel for Mothers Day, Birthdays, and Teacher Appreciate Day).

Imagine a World Where Everyone Traveled for Good
With Thanksgiving behind us, we look to Christmas and New Years to seek meaning and give purpose to our lives. The questions that often come up are; what will next year bring? How can I contribute? Will I find adventure, love, or a great new job?
What if all that was possible…..We launched our co+op to give people opportunities to enjoy life, make a difference, and to travel the world. Our mission is to make life better for all. We are using recruiting for good collaboratively to help people. People join our co+op by making referrals that enable us to use recruiting for good; executives to retain us for searches, and people looking for jobs.
People Make a Difference
People who join our Co+Op (members) help end abuse, hunger, and poverty. We are donating 20% of fulltime placements (every fulltime placement can sponsor 4 children in an orphanage for the entire year). Here is the list of nonprofits we are serving in 2014;
Corazon De Vida (Orphans), Kitt Crusaders (Rescue Pets), Olive Crest (Foster Care), Venice Family Clinic (Medical Care), Wolf Connection (Therapy Animals), WTLC (End Domestic Violence).
People Earn Rewards
Every time a Co+Op member makes a referral and it results in us making a placement. We share proceeds to fund one of the nonprofits on our site. And the member earns a portion of proceeds to travel with any partner on We Travel for Good.
Funding Travel that Makes a Difference
Co+Op members can also earn funding for; safaris, honeymoons, and destination weddings. Members create a travel fund. We use recruiting placements to raise funds for their travel. And match monies raised $1 for $1 to donate monies to nonprofits.
We look forward to serving and using recruiting for good to benefit your life, join our co+op today to enjoy life and make a difference.
Happy Holiday from Recruiting for Good
