Kitty Chaney-Reed’s Post

🌟 **Reflecting on Juneteenth** 🌟 Yesterday, my manager educated me. Embarrassingly, as a DEI leader, I asked her, "What's that?" when she mentioned Juneteenth! 😳 And then today, I thought about posting a few times but didn’t get far. In fact, I found myself hesitating. I wasn't sure if I should say "Happy Juneteenth" or something more thoughtful like "We remember." In the end, my fear of saying the wrong thing led me to just abandon it. Reading this post by Kitty Chaney-Reed woke me up and made me remember how important it is to educate myself (it takes just 30 seconds of research) …and to just try when I have the chance, act on a prompt, even if I mess up. And I often have messed up, and it can be nasty… I've said "Happy Women’s Day" and got told off. I’ve even said "Happy Good Friday" and got gently chastised with a newspaper roll by my beloved Christian friend Jennifer Pinto 😂 It's not about getting it right every time; it's about showing that we care. We shouldn’t be so afraid that we bury our heads in the sand. We miss opportunities to connect, to show care, to demonstrate our values, all because of fear. Let’s embrace these moments, educate ourselves, and engage—imperfectly but genuinely. #Juneteenth #KeepLearning #ShowYouCare 💡 **Key Takeaways:** - Educate yourself on important cultural and historical events. - Don’t let fear prevent you from showing support and care. - Engagement, even imperfect, is better than silence. Keep inspiring me, amazing Kitty Chaney-Reed !

Today has brought a whirlwind of emotions as I've been showered with a heartwarming cascade of birthday wishes from friends,colleagues, as well as my close ones. Every message, every sentiment, has deeply touched my heart, leaving me with a profound sense of being cherished. 🙂 On a day when people encourage you to "go party hard," it's interesting how a mix of emotions swirl within instead of just the celebration. I find myself grateful for the incredible network I've had the privilege of building over the past year – a network that has always been a source of encouragement and guidance. It's like a tapestry of hands, always ready to wish well, lift spirits, and support. Isn't this a beautiful testament to the power of connections 😊 ? 🌟 Here are a few takeaways I'm carrying from today: ✨ Embrace the precious gift of gratitude for the connections we've woven. ✨ Extend kindness to those who cross our paths. ✨ Discover joy in both giving and receiving, for both are treasures. ✨ Recognize that the world is filled with helping hands, waiting for our gentle reach. #Gratitude #Kindness #CommunityMatters #SpreadHappiness

EMBRACING GRATITUDE FOR SMALL ACTS OF KINDNESS In our journey through life, it's essential to acknowledge and appreciate the small gestures of kindness that others extend to us. Instead of criticizing or badmouthing those who offer help, no matter how small, please cultivate a culture of gratitude. These acts of kindness, though might seem insignificant, contribute to fostering positive relationships and creating a supportive environment. By expressing appreciation for the little things people do for you, not only does it uplift their spirits but it also cultivate a sense of community and goodwill. I encourage you choose to embrace gratitude and recognize the value in every act of kindness, no matter how modest. Together, we can make the world a brighter and more compassionate place. 🌟 #Appreciation #Kindness #Gratitude #SupportiveEnvironment #LinkedInPost Photo credit - Google
