I admire the impact that Good Foundation is doing to support low-income fathers and how they are changing the story around fatherhood. The foundation was established by Jessica Seinfeld in 2001. It is a national nonprofit that works to tackle multi-generational poverty by pairing tangible goods with support programs for low-income fathers, mothers and caregivers. https://lnkd.in/di6Wc3Tc

As I'm preparing to give birth to my second baby girl in a few weeks, I look at this picture of my little sister and I as kids, excited for Christmas. Now, as an entrepreneur and mother, I look forward to creating a legacy for my girls through business, family traditions, faith, and community. 💓 What legacy do you want to leave for future generations? #legacy #merrychristmas #familytraditions #nonprofitmarketing

No shoes is a dress code I love. Putting socks and dress shoes on, being back on the road in Texas was recharging. Spending time with parishes and diocese leaders in Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Austin and Waco planning strategies to enhance their impact on souls reignites my passion for why we support the Church.. and do what we do everyday. God has placed each of us in this sector at this particular time for a reason. Helping priests and parish leaders overcome the scarcity mindset that plagues religious organizations. Priests aren't necessarily discerned for fundraising and philanthropy. Parish budgets aren't usually able to support the skill set necessary to design, implement and analyze outreach strategies. Having to leave the comfort of home office dress code (yes never wearing socks or shoes is the best) and hit the airport, car rental facility, gas station beverage center and local groceries in hopes to encourage one parish to take one step forward for the future of their community is a blessing each of us have. Looking forward to some more windshield time soon in Houston, Dallas and Fort Worth. #catholicstewardship #growthmindset #onpurposeforthefuture

Here's a thought I've held for a long time because I really feel it has merit: There are many many children in orphanages/foster-homes awaiting adoption by a good family. Some who might have lost their parents, some perhaps abandoned. Maybe we are too caught up with the notion of "bearing our own children", maybe we can consider adopting a child instead. For what or who is one's own child but someone you love and raise? For those who wish to have children, this completes your dream as well as gives a child a home and parents and loved ones he/she will call their own. And those who don't want to have children: See if you can locate a well meaning orphanage/foster-home and help them with improving their facilities and amenities and spend time with the children there. Think about it.

In a world often overshadowed by negativity and conflict, the enduring presence of humanity and kindness shines through in countless ways. Acts of compassion and generosity remind us of our shared human connection. From community volunteers helping those in need to strangers offering a simple smile or a helping hand, these moments of kindness ripple through society, fostering hope and unity. Stories of individuals and organizations making a difference abound: neighbors supporting each other during crises, medical professionals going beyond the call of duty, and everyday heroes showing extraordinary empathy. These actions, big or small, reaffirm our belief in the goodness inherent in people. Charitable initiatives and grassroots movements further demonstrate this spirit. Whether it's providing meals to the hungry, sheltering the homeless, or advocating for social justice, these efforts illustrate a collective commitment to creating a better world. Social media also amplifies these positive stories, inspiring others to act with kindness and compassion. Despite challenges and uncertainties, humanity's capacity for kindness prevails. It is this unwavering spirit that nurtures resilience and cultivates a sense of community. Ultimately, the everyday acts of kindness we witness and partake in serve as a testament to the enduring power of empathy and compassion in our lives.

Keep your eye on this young man! He is going places! While we come from different generations we have a shared experience: Surviving trauma in foster care and adoptions. Some things don't change. Listen in as Karlos Dillon and I discuss our similarities, what we learned from our experiences, how we turned trauma into passion, and what can be done to help others in similar situations. https://lnkd.in/g-yw3sG3
