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.

Thank 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

I 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

As 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

I debated whether to celebrate Ugadi this year or not. It felt that there was nothing to celebrate. But the only normalcy we have to our lives is not giving up on what is important. So we got energised for Ugadi. Ugadi in Sanskrit means yuga (age) & ādi (beginning): "the beginning of a new age". Ugadi is New year celebration in South India. There are 3 distinct aspects to how my family celebrates: 1. The Ugadi Pachadi: This is offered in puja and is the most important for me. It represents the metaphor that life is a mix of complex emotions. It has 6 ingredients- neem flower (bitterness), jaggery (sweetness), tamarind (sourness), salt (saltiness), chilli (spicy), raw mango (tangy) 2. Rangoli: More of a lost art, in my childhood we took great pride in making complex rangolis. What we made today as you can see is not very complex but atleast continuing the tradition 3. Obattu/Puran Poli: In my house this is the most important dish for the festival. Homemade hot off the girdle Obattu is a treat, and that was the highlight today I wish you all a Happy Ugadi. Like Ugadi Pachadi, our share of troubles are front-loaded in the first half of the year but we will end it on sweet high note. Stay safe, Stay strong. …see more

Yesterday we drove six hours north to visit Grandma Soumis. She was thrilled by the surprise as my little boy picked her a bouquet of flowers from her yard and we caught up, openly admitting my husband is her favorite grandchild 😂 She mentioned to me where she grew up, 45-minutes "down the road" in Freda, MI. She told us stories of learning to swim in cold Lake Superior and "voluntold" my husband to take me there... From what we saw, the town consisted of about 10 homes, one of which had a "gift shop", a veteran's memorial, and a Copper Mill in ruins. A once bustling town with families and even a movie theater was left as a ghost town in the '60's... We enjoyed the beauty of the shores 93-year-old Connie once danced along and appreciated being together with each other... for if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have my family! 💝 During our six hour drive back, dodging hundreds of deer, skunks and turtles, I thought about what has happened over her lifetime... I reflected on how each choice we make in our lives can change the entire trajectory of our future and how important it is to continue spreading awareness.

Similar in business, I continue to vow that my team, colleagues, clients, and business partners will never go a day without feeling appreciated for all of their hard work.

My husband and I celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary yesterday. Why am I posting this on LinkedIn? Because your spouse has a huge impact on your career. When we were first married I always said I needed a “wife”, someone who was home so I could come home and not have the traditional home responsibilities to deal with! Well that didn’t happen but we figured it out. I found flexibility so we could take care of our kids with two working parents. Both juggling parenting and work responsibilities like lots of couples. The last few weeks I’ve been reflecting a lot on successes and learning experiences and how I got here. And I couldn’t have done it without Christopher Padar MBA CSSBB .

It’s the song he wrote for Nelson Mandela whilst he was on Robben Island in 1987. I have included a YouTube link below so you can watch the time Johnny Clegg got to play his song in 1999 to an international audience only to be surprised by Nelson Mandela walking up on stage to join him in the singing and dancing. #RIPJohnnyClegg Some background information on Johnny Clegg https://lnkd.in/dquzemV https://lnkd.in/dW4QJbN …see more

“How do I stop loving a girl who doesn’t love me,” someone asked me. I didn’t answer him correctly. I gave some bullshit answer. The correct answer is: there’s nothing you can do. You’re in pain. You’re wounded. Time heals all wounds. …see more

It was my birthday yesterday and I received this present in the mail. In any normal year, this wouldn’t make sense. In 2020, with all these Zoom, Webex, Skype and MS Meetings calls, this makes perfect sense. Amidst all these calls, I would encourage you to optimize your number of virtual meetings. Fewer calls, shorter duration calls, only attendees that are needed and consideration for others WFH work/life priorities are some of the tips I would share. #YouAreOnMute #Zoom #WFH …see more

I couldn't imagine a better birthday💝 Spending it with my family and two best friends that make better alarms and doorbells than most! I'm also working with my friends at Third Space Brewing Co, The Ale Asylum, One Barrel Brewing and Growlers To Go Go, hosting a FREE virtual beer tasting and lesson for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society today! I'm particularly excited for the new spiked seltzer... What's your favorite brew? Seats are first come, first serve today at 4pm CST and I hope you can join us via Zoom. Thanks to everyone who has sent me birthday wishes and gifts in the form of donations to cure blood cancer, because WE ALL WIN when cancer loses and each dollar adds up! Here is a Sunday greeting from my Senior Vice President of Crisis Communications (Siberian Husky) and my Chief Security Officer (German Shepherd). So if we're ever on a call and I have to mute myself, this is likely why. #communications #celebrate #lightuplinkedin #chantelshares …see more

I absolutely love the holidays. Magic fills the air and my heart up with childlike wonder... It's an excuse to shower loved ones in gifts to show our appreciation for their love and support... even of that gift is quality time, cookies, and laughter. This year was special as it was our first EVER LinkedIn Local Madison holiday celebration. My life would NOT be the same without my co-hosts... 🎁 Melanie Ruelas 🎁 Carrie Bohlig 🎤 🎁 AJ Sue (he-him) 🎁 JARED J.Wiese I had rushed straight to the event after spending time in the hospital with my pops following his heart surgery and everyone shared a genuine concern and support... These strangers have become family over this past year and celebrating the holiday season with them meant so much to me. I couldn't be more grateful! Do you have a local community dear to you? What is your favorite part of the holidays? I love basking in the holiday magic, crafts with my son, watching my dogs open presents, and TIME OFF for guilt-free self care!

Today it’s Thanksgiving in the United States, a day when we give thanks for the goodness in our lives. I feel so blessed to have amazing family and friends, some with whom I’ll be spending the day. I’m grateful for my good health and well-being, and for the opportunity to partner with fantastic clients to put my creative talents to their highest and best use. But if I’m being honest, I’m thankful for the not-so-good stuff too. You know, the disappointments, the lost business, the awful news, and the challenges of 2020 that sometimes make me want to give up. But I don’t. Having the contrast between life’s highs and lows helps me cherish the good even more, and reminds me that nothing—but change—is certain. So if you’re feeling good, one of the best ways to show your gratitude is to spread some of that goodness around to others. Because giving thanks is contagious.

I still remember listening to Avicii growing up. Such a talented artist. You’ll be missed. One of my favorite Avicii’s lyrics that will live on: “Feeling my way through the darkness / Guided by a beating heart / I can't tell where the journey will end / But I know where to start / They tell me I'm too young to understand / They say I'm caught up in a dream / Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes / Well that's fine by me” …see more

After days of (highly unusual) heavy rain in Southern California, today is a perfect day for walks ... and, pre Coronavirus shock, the beach.

My sweet dog got sepsis and went into shock and was on death’s door. Happily, and surprisingly, she survived!! Sepsis, which strikes humans and animals alike is a big deal and takes over 270,000 human lives every year. Sepsis can be a life-threatening condition that arises when the body's response to infection causes injury to its own tissues and organs—think of an ‘infection gone bad.’ Common signs and symptoms include fever, increased heart rate, increased breathing rate, and confusion. September is Sepsis Awareness month. Please know the facts. …see more
