Happy Opposite Day, Everyone! Today is the day to turn everything upside down and have fun with the quirkiest holiday of the year! Let's all embrace the traditional madness by doing the opposite of what we'd normally do. Why not start by wearing your shirt inside out? Or maybe have dessert before dinner? The possibilities are endless! Here are some topsy-turvy tips to celebrate #OppositeDay: 1️⃣ Greet your friends with a "Goodnight!" instead of "Hello!" 2️⃣ Walk backward (safely) instead of forwards! 3️⃣ Say "Yes" to something you'd normally say "No" to (as long as it's safe and fun)! #OppositeDay #TopsyTurvy #FindHopeHere #OrgOfHope #YourLifeMatters

How are you nuturing your client and employee relationships for the holidays? Let’s talk!

It’s that time of year again and what would the fourth of July be without fireworks and happy gatherings? This holiday is a great way to connect with family and friends, but what about our fur babies? Many dread the 4th because the loud noises that come with this holiday are hard on our pets, and it’s heartbreaking! “Fireworks, picnics and other Fourth of July traditions can be great fun for people; but all of the festivities can be frightening and even dangerous for animals” according to the AVMA. The noise from the loud booms and pops, and flashing lights, can trigger them causing anxiety or extreme stress.

Amongst the April Fools Day messages in my inbox this morning were come-ons for toe-less socks (Darn Tough Vermont) and a sriracha-based electrolyte workout sauce (Skratch Labs), which sounds like exactly what I wouldn’t want during a long bike ride on a hot, humid day. Gotta love April Fools Day. And gotta love brands connecting with their audiences emotionally. It's not that your audience doesn't care about thread counts or sodium balance or whatever it is that your product or service offers. They do. But they care about that and what it feels like to work with / buy from you. #contentmarketing #AprilFoolsDay #connect

Why Our Family Board Meetings and Thanksgiving Rituals Matter Traditions have a unique power to strengthen family bonds and create lasting memories. One tradition that Shaku Miriyala and I started with our kids was the monthly family board meeting. No phones, no distractions—just the four of us coming together to celebrate victories, tackle challenges, and plan for the future. Another cherished ritual is our Thanksgiving 'Gratitudes.' This ritual has become a cornerstone of our family time, allowing us to reflect on the good times and set intentions for the year ahead. These rituals have taught us the value of connection, reflection, and intentional living. They’ve helped us grow closer as a family and navigate life's ups and downs with a sense of unity and purpose. At our monthly board meetings, we would share our successes, discuss challenges, and even address complaints. We planned birthdays and vacations, ending each session with a group hug. This tradition became a safe space for open communication and mutual support. During Thanksgiving, we would express our gratitude’s, even imagining our future achievements as if they were already real. This approach to goal-setting filled us with a sense of certainty and optimism. I encourage you to create your own family traditions. What rituals do you have with your loved ones that bring you closer together? https://lnkd.in/gMBe-r6f Share your stories and let's inspire each other. ♻️ Repost to enlighten others #FamilyTraditions #Gratitude #IntentionalLiving #LifeLessons
