I’m sorry to share that, sadly like a lot of people’s friends and relatives right now in these days of Covid, my mum Eve has also passed away. But rather than mourn her loss, I wanted to celebrate her wonderful life, her tremendous spirit, the joy she brought to so many, and the love she gave us https://virg.in/rrW …see more

Richard BransonHappy 96th birthday to my biggest inspiration, my mum. She is always looking ahead, and always trying to make change for good. My family has always shown each other a lot of love, which is far more important than anything else.

Kevin O'LearyI have been married to Linda for 31 years and I'm really proud of that. Who knew the sign in this pic taken on our honeymoon would end up in the dictionary as the definition of marriage!

Richard BransonThank you all for the kind birthday wishes, it is so heartwarming to see your messages from all over the world. It’s been a difficult year for everyone, but no matter what the challenge, we always try and face it with optimism and togetherness. I want to say a big thank you to the #VirginFamily from the bottom of my heart. Your unwavering support, even when really hard decisions have had to be made, has been so humbling through the last few months. I’m fortunate to be spending time to be with family and friends today (though a big party has been replaced with lots of video calls, which is rather strange!) It still surprises me when someone wishes me a happy 70th birthday. I can’t help but think, 70 - really?! …see more

Kevin O'LearyI LOVE love. Even more than I love money! A life partner if the biggest, most beautiful, & most LIFE changing investment you'll ever make. Choose wrong, game over. Choose right, & you get a life of fulfillment that even the most stacked savings account can't offer - and if you're really smart, you'll have both! . I watched my mother's marriage to my father collapse when I was young, so I learned the risks of love and romance at an early age. But I watched her forge a successful partnership with my stepdad George, which gave me hope... Still, I had no idea that in my late 20s I would meet the woman who would become my wife. Linda and I have been married almost 30 years now, and I still marvel that she possesses all the skills and traits I lack. She's kind & patient where I can be a jerk, serious when I'm a joker, firm when I was a pushover with the kids. Without her, I'd never have achieved the things I have. Throughout my climb in business, she kept the home fires burning while I dug the coal to keep them lit. Linda & I dated for six years before we got married. By the time we finally tied the knot, we weren't starry-eyed kids rushing down the aisle...but we knew we wanted a future together. Happy Valentine's Day, kiddies! …see more

Richard BransonMy friend sent me this lovely clip this week of Holly playing and me teaching her to write (though as a dyslexic I probably taught her all the wrong spellings!) These were such magical times. It’s such a special experience being a father and teaching your children about the world. Holly has been sharing some lovely posts this week about the things she’s learned from me – but I know that Sam and Holly have taught me just as much as I’ve taught them (if not more). Children look at everything with such wonder and inquisitiveness and really live in the moment. All adults need a dose of this sometimes. …see more

The academy is in my hometown and my little brother has played tournaments there. All games have been cancelled. Kobe was one of those icons who influenced people of all ages. He not only did so much for the basketball community, but also inspired others to strive for excellence. He was an example of how to utilize your influence for the good of others. He will be missed.

Vani KolaAs a child, on Diwali mornings, we would wake up bright and early at 5 am. Despite the chill in the air, waking up early on this day was never met with a complaint. We would then light a diya, and take a nice oil bath (a tradition perhaps unique to India). In my home, there was a longstanding tradition of the girls performing aarti for the men of the household, post which they would give us little gifts. Mom would have made a lot of homemade sweets, a Diwali tradition. We would carefully wrap these, and walk over to the homes of friends and neighbours to deliver them personally, one of the little joys of Diwali. Come evening, we would light dozens of oil diyas, often making a little competition of it with neighbours to see whose house had more. And then, of course, the signature part of Diwali — the fireworks. We would light piles of firecrackers, lighting up our driveways and the skies with showers of sparkles! This year, I celebrate a silent Diwali with home made food and togetherness of my family. I wish you a joyous Diwali, filled with the most important thing in life - memories of togetherness and love. …see more

When he is triggered by an episode, he approaches the subject and puts his paw on the subject to signal change and comfort. If we are on a video call, He is always in the background. Stress, seizures, anxiety and everything in between, he is here to serve others ALWAYS before himself. Always alert. Leading with love. Let's be more like Red. Listen. Support.

Quentin Michael AllumsMy girlfriend came to me to an Esports tournament. That’s love 😂🙌🏽. In all seriousness though — I’m beyond thankful for Christina Haidemenos . I remember the days of working out of my 500 square foot home office. Few people supported me and the ideas I had. And as content creators we like to romanticize those days... when we worked despite no one believing in us. But, these days are just as important. When people do support you. Because building a business isn’t easy. Building a brand isn’t easy. And the people that have your back are building it with you. Remember that. And don’t forget to tell them that you appreciate them. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone — spread the love today. #justQ 🖖🏽🖤 #business #entrepreneurship …see more
