I have had the good fortune to connect with some really wonderful people doing their part to change the world.

Want to Know Your Type? Donate Blood and Find Out!

I am a huge proponent for consistent Blood Donation. It’s something that I feel strongly about and I share with people every chance that I get. I want to share a little something with you...if you are a blood donor, you are literally helping to save a life and in my eyes you are a hero, a champion, a protector and a warrior.

It’s not a moment based in ego but instead a reminder of the power you have to change the world and the reminder that you are already doing it.

They allow you to really live in the moment and connect with the pe

Want to Increase Your Giving Back to the World? Treat it like a Savings Plan!

Last Saturday I met one of my closest friends and her family for brunch. As is want to happen in New York, the subways were delayed and it would have taken me quite a long time to get there, so I opted to call a Lyft. As soon as I got in the car my driver started a conversation about his life. He mentioned that he had so many good intentions but it was hard to have discipline. He specifically wanted to be more consistent with how he saved money. He had it coming in but spent
