"Apple Doesn't Fall Far from the Tree"

In creating this family blog, I have discovered that there is so much talent and shared compassion in our family! A "modern family" sharing 'the faith of our fathers'. Makes me feel so grateful and blessed to be a part of this clan!

We have shared a bit about Marty's book that is available on Amazon:

His daughter, Michelle Murphy Zive is the author, activator and connector of One Connect https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-zive/

Her daughter, Molly Zive (Marty's granddaughter) has followed in the path of health, healing and empowerment https://www.linkedin.com/in/mollyzive

Molly also sent an email to Dan and me that she would be happy to "jump in" on the family blog! YAY!

I saw on instagram that Molly is offering a class this Saturday, May 2 on instagram:

Marty's 80th birthday is on May 29. He posted this on his Facebook account:

For my birthday this year, I'm asking for donations to Feeding America. I've chosen this nonprofit because their mission means a lot to me, and I hope you'll consider contributing as a way to celebrate with me. Every little bit will help me reach my goal. I've included information about Feeding America below.
