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 Ways to Make Life Great for People
5 Ways to Make Life Great for People. Conversations with brilliant people inspired me to write this blog, not to self-promote, but in the hopes that it will inspire social entrepreneurs to create collaborative solutions that enroll people and transform their life.
Thank you to Justine Lassoff, Causora, John Bates (trains people to do TED Talks), Anna Mendoza (teaches men and women Ruby on Rails), Alan Feldstein (Infinite Safari Adventures), and Dylan Stewart (the Mac Whisperer).
5 Ways to Make Life Great for People
1) Appreciate them, and reward them for doing GOOD.
2) Give them a great reason to participate in life, be purposeful.
3) Empower them with a solution, or ability to make a difference.
4) Give people a voice, an avenue for creative self expression.
5) Have fun, creative, and outrages conversations with every one you meet.
In an effort to encompass all 5 ways to make life great for people, I challenged myself with a question? How can a benefit, be a reward, and a social cause too, that would enroll people to participate, and care, and maybe make them smile too(You got to have audaciously big questions to challenge your life and be creative)? Answer; take something that is enjoyed by few, and make it accessible to anyone, empower people with an ability to obtain that which enlivens them to participate and make a difference.
What benefit would you like the whole world to have?
Create a solution that is plausible and enroll people through inspiration and story. And you have just created a fun social enterprise that will transform your life, your family, community, and the world.
Join Co+Op Recruiting for Good, we are collaborating with people to reward them free creative education and fun global travel. And sometimes combining both rewards at the same time; outrages fun….yes to make your life great.
