🙏🏼🇺🇸 I feel like this day is so heavy that it’s hard to put it into words. Stories like this put it all together for me. I hope my children never experience horror like this in their lives. Most importantly, I hope they never forget what happened & the bravery of those who served before they were born.

Father Mychal Judge—Franciscan friar and beloved chaplain to the NYC Fire Department—was the first certified fatality of the 9/11 attacks. He was offering spiritual support at the World Trade Center when he was killed during the collapse of the South Tower. His friend, Father Michael Duffy, remembers giving the homily at Father Mychal’s funeral service.

Today, the Philadelphia Police Department Academy Class 421 was joined by Jennifer Doyle Boileau for a Check Your Six session focused on mindfulness, meditation, and the importance of taking care of yourself while preparing to serve others.

Every academy class dedicates its hard work to a fallen officer, and Class 421 is dedicated to Officer Andy Chan. Knowing that made today’s session especially meaningful. His legacy continues to inspire, and we know he would be proud of the commitment and hard work this class has shown.

Tomorrow, Class 421 will take an important state exam. Our hope is that today’s Check Your 6 session gave these recruits an opportunity to slow down, get grounded, and learn practices they can use not only to prepare for tomorrow, but throughout their careers in law enforcement.

Families Behind the Badge Children’s Foundation is proud to support those who dedicate their lives to protecting our communities, and we’re wishing all of Academy Class 421 the very best on tomorrow’s exam!

Sunrise is always a family fav🌞🌊🦀

The first thing I notice in the morning (besides the skies) is that my breathing often feels “locked up” high in my chest…so I pay attention to the breath as it is for a bit (like breath sensing in iRest) then I might try to move it more into the belly. Small shift, big difference. Calming, grounding, all the good stuff…just takes your time and attention while doing whatever you’re doing….no class to attend, no place to go, just noticing in the moment. Sounds silly till you feel how much it can help. For me, it’s been noticing at sunrise.

Pay attention when you don’t “need to”, and when it matters, your body will remember.

Great day with Families Behind the Badge Children's Foundation & Schwarber's Neighborhood Heroes

Last week, Kyle stopped by the 25th Police District alongside to spend time with the officers who serve our communities every day.

One thing we continue to learn through Schwarber’s Neighborhood Heroes is how important mental health support is within law enforcement. Police officers carry an enormous amount both on and off the job, and many times those conversations are not easy to have. As we continue learning more from officers, departments and organizations working in this space, we’re optimistic about finding more ways to help create support systems and encourage open conversation around mental health.

A special thank you to mental health specialist for her professional expertise and relentless efforts in helping officers feel comfortable having these conversations. The work being done to break down barriers and create trust in this space matters more than people realize.

Sometimes it starts with something simple. Showing up. Talking. Letting officers know people care about them beyond the badge.

Also… we’re not saying visiting the community before a five homer run was good karma… but we’re also not NOT saying it. Schwarbombs powered by positivity?

Thank you to the 25th District and Families Behind theBadge for having us out. 💙

If you need to restore your faith in all that is good…there is nothing like .

28 years ago I was Patrick’s teacher (he was 12, I was 22). Today I was able to see him and his teammates play their hearts out on the court for the Spring Sectional 🙏🏼🏀& work to qualify for the championship at Penn State.

I am so proud of him, I could burst.

If I’ve ever taught your children, they will forever be mine too. Like I tell all my cops now…you’re stuck with me🙏🏼💙

Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.
