I attended PipelinePlus’ stellar #MarketingLeadersRoundtable (#MLR200) … and the only pic I took was this (unflattering for me - cute for everyone else) airport Uber selfie with three of my compatriots. You know you had an engaging, inspiring, energizing two days when that happens!
Life with #Hudson, #HenryJ, and #Duncan …pure bliss. #dogs #dogsofinstagram #dogsofbluesky

Find yourself a firm that works hard, delivers exceptional value, and celebrates joyously … AND has a #karaoke summer social where they ask you to help emcee the festivities. And thank you to my #marketing colleague Regan Rayl for capturing these clips! #PinkPonyClub to #DefyingGravity🌟
World’s weirdest #wolfpack: two five-year-old-seven-ish-pound #Chihuahua mixes and one thirteen-year-old-nearly-sixty-pound #BlackLab; if you wonder what it is like to return home and attempt to change from your work clothes in the face of their unbridled, enthusiastic welcoming energy? #dogs #love
Wabash College … I suppose there are other higher education institutions that have strong, fiercely loyal #alumni networks … but I kinda doubt it. There’s something formatively unique about the place.
Beautiful souls, beautiful wedding. We spent the last couple of days celebrating Fan-hsuan Meng and our nephew Andrew Rundall and their love for each other. For a real treat, stunning pro-shots by Amanda Kamppinen / Arrae Photography: www.facebook.com/share/p/19Bq... #love #wedding #puremichigan

Had a rollicking prep call with moderator Steven R. Ongenaet of Nexl and fellow panelists Gillian Ward of Reed Smith LLP and Ivan Ivanovitch, MBA of Ambition today. This promises to be a fun and informative discussion. Join us August 3 at 11 am central: watch.getcontrast.io/register/nex...
#FourthOfJuly weekend … our way. We kicked off the holiday with another adventure in our summer of #WindyCity discovery. A lovely dinner at Trattoria Gianni Chicago followed by an utterly remarkable evening of #theatre at Steppenwolf Theatre Company.
“It’s a major award!” Ok, now I’m just milking this. But in tonight’s mail? This lovely surprise all the way from London. Thank you (again!), @oktopost.bsky.social, for this lovely recognition … AND beautiful trophy AND very thoughtfully curated and branded gift box of goodies that accompanied it!
Dear pal Linda Moss put my mug in the Wayback Machine via #AI (“wAIback”?) … and here’s what the robot gods thought I would have looked like (at my present age) in the 00s, 90s, 70s, 60s, 40s, and 30s. (Thinking the 00s, 60s, and 30s were particularly tough decades for virtual me … that tracks. 😅)
Thank you, Oktopost! “Roy Sexton is the CMO at Vedder, a law firm, and he’s doing things with B2B social that consumer brands would look at with genuine respect. His LinkedIn presence is bold, consistent, and human.” @oktopost.bsky.social
#Pride … our way. Absolutely exquisite production of #BrokebackMountain at Chicago Shakespeare Theater. Elegantly staged, delicately performed, authentically engaging, utterly heartrending. Only two performances left! Preceded by a delicious, relaxing lunch at Ema … #Chicago #Saturday #LoveIsLove
Started the day beautifully (well, after a toll booth arm crashed into my windshield … it’s not pretty … my poor beloved Lincoln Corsair 😢), having breakfast with Oktopost masterminds Daniel Kushner 🐙 and Colin Day as well as delightful Steve Susina. @oktopost.bsky.social
These three. Our street was repaved today. Apparently providing high entertainment value for #HenryJ, #Hudson, and #Duncan … who stood here transfixed. 😅 #dogs #dogsofinstagram #dogsofbluesky
Best. Postcard. EVER! Thank you, Trish Desilets Lilley … you know me well! This made me LOL when I opened our mailbox tonight. Love you!
Admittedly, I have worked myself up into a mood tonight. Social media can do that. But the utter silence of my alma mater Wabash College on #Pride this year grates. Previous years, it felt progress had been made.
#Pride month! Thrilled to be part of this candid, pragmatic panel conversation from American Bar Association, Tuesday, July 23 - “Beyond Rainbow Logos: Centering #LGBTQ+ Voices Who Fuel Innovation, Equity, and Better Lawyering.” Register: events.americanbar.org/event/915f8b... @americanbar.org
Goodness. Meijer asking big, existential questions at the checkout. And, no, we are decidedly NOT there yet. 😅🤯🤭
My hubby John Mola asked for just one thing for his birthday: “Can we go home to Ann Arbor and have dinner at Seva with our friends?” Done!
Happy birthday to my sweet husband John Mola from me … and from Misha Collins AKA #Castiel on John’s beloved show #Supernatural. Love you very much, John! #birthday @mishacollins.bsky.social
Yesterday ... for the first time in my career ... I went to lunch with one of my teammates ... and his mother. And it was grand. Maybe this is a new trend as tech-driven isolation continues unabated ... I'll start taking everyone's mothers to lunch!
I love my team. I feel so fortunate to be among them. Tonight, they rocked it for Vedder’s annual #ChiStat event in support of our #GlobalTransportationFinance practice. Pictured here is a subset of our larger #marketing group.
