Operation 10-8
Operation 10-8 honors the work of first-responders through public recognition and education. Operation 10-8 is dedicated to the brave men, women, and animals serving in public-safety who tirelessly work to build relationships with communities to keep them safe, but receive little recognition or gratitude for it.
Operation 10-8 is committed to honoring the men and women under those uniforms for choosing a life of service. Operation 10-8 will work to strengthen the relationship between public-safety and the general public by showing that first-responders are just ordinary people who do extraordinary things to serve others. They also have a private FB group called Survive & Thrive focusing on motivating first responders to be mentally & physically fit!

The Upside of Stress
You hear it all the time: stress causes heart disease; stress causes insomnia; stress is bad for you! But what if changing how you think about stress could make you happier, healthier, and better able to reach your goals? Combining exciting new research on resilience and mindset, Kelly McGonigal, PhD, proves that undergoing stress is not bad for you; it is undergoing stress while believing that stress is bad for you that makes it harmful. In fact, stress has many benefits, from giving us greater focus and energy, to strengthening our personal relationships.
