WHILE MANY HOUSTONIANS — and their pipes— have recovered from last month's historic freeze, still others are without water, and organizations like the Houston Food Bank are still recovering and replenishing their inventory.


Restaurants and other local businesses are thinking of creative ways to help. Compass Real Estate and Moeller's Bakery have teamed up for the Cookies for a Cause initiative throughout March. Purchase adorably delicious blue heart-shaped cookies from the famous, 91-year-old Bellaire bakery, and $1 from every dozen sold goes to the Houston Food Bank. The goal is to raise $50,000, and nearly $20,000 has already been generated. Additional donations can be made here.

This fundraiser follows Compass' support of Feed the Front Line last year at the onset of Covid. Agents raised $40,000 to provide meals for healthcare and essential workers, and blue ribbons were tied on trees to encourage Houstonians throughout the trying time.

Leadership in Action: ‘Family, Community and Spiritual Connection’ Drives Success for Henry Richardson

How did you get to where you are today? The present moment is a combined history of my family, my time as an athlete, my passion for learning, and my desire to see the world be better. I grew up as a successful springboard and platform diver, however, an injury caused me to seek alternative treatments to heal my body. In that process, I discovered the power of yoga, exercise, meditation, mindset, and nutrition. This holistic approach eventually led me to open a Pilates and cycling studio called DEFINE body & mind. I opened studios around the nation, and after selling most of my business between 2017-2019, I was ready to explore how I could make an even greater impact on the wellbeing of our community. In 2023, I started actively working on a brand new multi-family/apartment concept called, Define Living. The idea focused on offering health and wellness services within a beautiful apartment setting to increase the wellbeing of our residents. Having a strong sense of community is the number one factor in living a happy life, so why not build a community where daily fitness, cooking classes, and social connection are the norm? We opened Define Living in March of 2024, and we couldn’t be happier with how things are being received. We are already looking at building more concepts like this in the Houston area and beyond.
