Neeka DeGraw and I recently shared Happy Hour cocktails chatting about her new adventures and 'the good' she is putting out there in the world. One initiative is near and dear to my heart called BAKING NEW MEMORIES, a Facebook Group she formed that pulls together people and their family recipes from generations prior. This effort is not only delicious, but it triggers smells, tastes, and emotions of yesteryear. Mental images of grandparents and family gathers come flooding in. As a mom of 3, we talk 'parenting', of course! She's also a contributor to an effort called IRON WILL NETWORK geared toward suicide prevention of first responders and veterans. The network pulls together a variety of channels from celebrities and regular people doing good things intended to inspire and uplift. As an approach to life, Neeka chose early on to pick up the baton from her grandmother who instilled in her a sense of grace, laughter, and a positive approach to life, especially after Neeka suffered devastating losses. Neeka also learned so much from her mom who passed of pancreatic cancer and who also was a person of happiness and 'doing good.' The presence of these wonderful people are always felt around her in a spiritual way.
