Growth in personal development with Parents On A Mission. Growing together with Parent Leadership.

Working with your board and council is key to aligning strategy for the future of your community. A reminder that in our industry, an open mind is one of the best things a board, council or court member can bring to the table. Grateful to have that in a community where I work AND live. #medc #mckinney #mckinneytexas #mckinneytx #pipeline #projectpipeline #development #economicdevelopment #land #landdevelopment #strategy #strategicthinking #strategicplanning #boardretreat

Building a Legacy of Positivity and Growth The Children of Fallen Heroes mission is about more than just our organization or any one individual—it’s about something much bigger. It’s about taking care of the foundations of what truly matters: family and children. When we invest in these pillars, we create a ripple effect of strength, resilience, and hope that extends far beyond us. Our work is rooted in the belief that by fostering a positive community movement, we encourage growth and the power of positivity. We have the opportunity to build up our families and our communities in ways that inspire and uplift, ensuring that future generations not only thrive but carry forward these values of compassion and care. At the heart of everything we do is the commitment to honoring the legacies of those who have sacrificed for us. But beyond that, it’s also about laying the groundwork for those who come next, creating an environment where every child has the opportunity to grow, learn, and be supported by a community that believes in them. Together, we can cultivate a future where our children feel empowered, our families feel supported, and our communities grow stronger through shared purpose and unity. This movement is about building lasting connections, creating positive change, and ensuring that no one is left behind. Let’s keep moving forward—together, for the children, for the families, for the future.

🌍 Today, on the Global Day of Parents, let's take a moment to appreciate and honor the incredible role parents play in shaping our lives and society. 🙌 💖 Parents are the unsung heroes who selflessly devote themselves to nurturing, guiding, and supporting their children every step of the way. They are the ones who teach us life's most valuable lessons, instill core values, and provide unwavering love and care. 👨👩👧👦 Whether biological, adoptive, or chosen, parents are the foundation upon which we build our futures. They are our first teachers, cheerleaders, and protectors. Their sacrifices often go unnoticed, but their impact is immeasurable. 🌱 Today, let's not only celebrate our own parents but also acknowledge and express gratitude to all the parents around the world who strive to create a better future for their children. Let's remember those who have lost their parents and offer them support and compassion. 💪 As professionals, let us also recognize the importance of work-life balance and support policies that enable parents to fulfill their responsibilities both at home and in the workplace. When we create an environment that values and respects parenthood, we foster happier families and more productive societies. 🤝 On this Global Day of Parents, let's come together to honor and appreciate the dedication, sacrifices, and love of parents worldwide.

Happy St. Nicholas Day to everyone—children and adults alike! St. Nicholas Day, celebrated on December 6th, honors the legacy of St. Nicholas of Myra, a man known for his generosity, compassion, and selfless deeds. He devoted his life to helping those in need, becoming a symbol of kindness and the spirit of giving. This tradition reminds us of the importance of not only thinking of others but acting on that thought. Today, many children wake up to small surprises in their shoes—candies, nuts, or gifts—delighting in the magic of kindness. But this day isn’t just about celebrating children; it’s a call to all of us, as adults, to embrace the values of empathy and generosity that St. Nicholas represents. In a world that often tests our patience and kindness, let’s take a moment to reflect: • How can we extend a little more compassion to those around us? • How can we show that we are better humans than we often reveal in our busy, challenging lives? St. Nicholas teaches us that small acts of kindness can have a big impact. Whether it’s offering a kind word, lending a helping hand, or simply being present for someone who needs support, let’s channel the spirit of St. Nicholas not just today, but every day. To all children—never stop dreaming, and to all adults—never stop striving to be the better version of yourselves. Here’s to a day, and a life, filled with kindness, generosity, and love. #StNicholasDay #KindnessMatters #CompassionInAction
