*Clink, Chat & Catch Up!* w/ Carole, Sue & Kathy of Full Spirited Flavours @FullSpirited!

*CLINK!* HERE to listen!

We *Clink & Chat!* with all three Full Spirited Flavour creators Carole Algier, Sue Katein, & Kathy Lanyon! Let's tell you a bit about their passionate project: 

For nearly thirty years, Carole, was a glass artist & ran a successful business Her work was featured in several magazines and on HGTV’s “Smart Design” show. Sisters Sue Katein a retired corporate manager & Kathy Lanyon, a Global IT manager were looking for the next phase of life. That’s when they had a heart-to-heart. As kids, their parents sold their house, bought a hotel and turned it into a restaurant and catering business; the hotel also served as the family’s home. Food was a central theme in their lives. So too was the understanding that each child had to find his/her own way in life.

Life goes by quickly and as three sisters with more than a century of experience, they knew it was time to realize their dream to build a business that they could work together, offering favorite recipes, while creating new and exciting ones for discriminating palates. By combining business and catering expertise, humor, and most importantly a love for baking, cooking and each other...they are Full Spirited Flavours! There is so much more you can find out about the ladies story by reading this FAB article from Victorious Woman Project.

--> We laugh & cackle together & the sisters share their recipes for success!  We talk about how each one brings value to the business: Carole is the artist & marketing expert, Sue is the baker & operations manager, and Kathy is the youngest (and smartest ;) & takes care of all the computer tech & details. They tell us why they DIDN'T take up Martha Stewart's offer, their mantras for success, HINT: Laugh often & Never accept "No".  And, they make a not-so-subtle overture to Kathie Lee & Hoda to taste test the goods...

As a women’s empowerment coach, she helps women all over the world use powerful language to create their dream life and awaken them to their full potential.

She is passionate about great health, fabulous relationships, inspirational writing, world travel, and living life to the fullest. She believes life is most enjoyed with a positive mindset and aim to never settle for just average.

Formally, she has received two degrees: a B.A. in Psychology and a B.A. in Journalism. She's studied existential psychology at California Institute of Integral Studies and Chinese Medicine at the American College of Traditional Medicine, and is a former volunteer at Planned Parenthood. Women’s healthcare – and sexual expression – is a big passion of hers.

In 2006, she completed a Yoga Alliance RYT200 approved residential yoga teacher training program located in the beautiful Byron Bay, Australia and have led a variety of breath, meditation and pre/post natal workshops around the world.

Through all these experiences and vast education, her philosophy boils down to this… 

The best way to live life is by flirting with it.

 Empower. Inspire. Play. Find your magic. Indulge. Be unfailingly fabulous. Find a place in Wonderland. Sparkle. Be the Fashionista. View your life through a lens. Let your story unfold.

--> We talk about her experiences & how death has shaped her exhilaration for living life, how to manifest & flourish, what she does & how she delights in lighting up her clients, her big move to Paris, "WHY NOT?", mediocrity, what the words "sparkle" & "headache!" mean to her, sextiquette & so much more!

*Story* I'm Shaving My Head for Cancer Support Because...

 from our #ChampagneSister Rachel @BespokenWords

My best friend was recently diagnosed with breast cancer in the 7th month of pregnancy. Her baby is now here and healthy but she will be having chemotherapy, then surgery and radiotherapy, on top of getting to grips with being a first time mum.

For her and others in a similar situation, or their family and friends, it is important to have a place where they can find answers to difficult questions and are able to ask for help when it is needed.

Macmillan Cancer Support is a really important charity that provides emotional and financial support, as well as a range of practical information and an online community, to those affected by cancer. All the good work they do costs money though, so...

(The bit where I ask you for money is coming up soon. I understand that in the 21st century everyone complains that they don't have time to read anything so reading further is not obligatory. You only really need to know that the clue is in the title and to donate, you *CLINK! HERE!* Thanks!)

As a result of the necessary treatment, my best friend's going to lose her beautiful hair. Shaving my own hair off is a little thing I can do to remind her that she's not alone - and hopefully raise lots of sponsorship money for a good cause too!

I'm going to shave my head on Monday June 3rd.

I promise before and after (and maybe during!) photos of the removal of hair from my potentially odd shaped head. I am trying to raise as much sponsorship money as possible so, of course, please donate as much as you can.

A word for you sponsors: "Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity."

Please be generous and don't forget to share this page with your family and friends. 
Thank you!

Macmillan Cancer Support

Charity Registration No. 261017

One in three of us will get cancer. Two million of us are living with it. We are all affected by cancer. We can all help. We are Macmillan.

The Champagne Sisters w/ Frédéric Panaïotis of Ruinart!

*CLINK HERE* to listen!

The Champagne Sisters are SO EXCITED to *CLINK!* & chat with a REAL Champagne Mister: Frédéric Panaïotis, chef de Caves at the Champagne House of Ruinart.

Let's tell you a bit about him:

As a child, Panaïotis spent much of his time in the small Champagne vineyards of his grandparents, sampling the fruits of their labor. His professional career began with a compulsory training period at the Comité Interprofessionnel du Vin de Champagne, where he studied the méthode champenoise process in general and wine clarification in particular, including fining, filtration and riddling. Over the years, Panaïotis returned several times to the Comité, subsequently specializing in the interaction of cork and wine, and training the professional panel on different tasting procedures. His winemaking apprenticeship included appointments in France and California. Panaïotis graduated from the Institut National Agronomique Paris-Grignon with a specialization in Viticulture-Oenologie, followed by a degree from the Ecole Supérieure d’Oenologie de Montpellier in 1988. 

Frédéric Panaïotis joined Champagne Ruinart in 2007 as Chef de Caves. In this position, he has the responsibility of creating the blends, from the non vintages Blanc de Blancs and Rosé to the prestige cuvees of Ruinart, Dom Ruinart and Dom Ruinart Rosé. He also plays a significant role in the communication efforts of Champagne Ruinart, at times traveling extensively to international markets. 

--> He joins the Champagne Sisters & tells about how he found his passion for wine when he was a boy, why the Ruinart bottle has that particular shape, what "riddling" is, what is his fave year & bottle, food pairings with Champagne, and so much more!

The House of Ruinart, founded in 1729, is the oldest and one the most prestigious Champagne firms. Its spectacular underground cellars or Crayères have been classified as Monuments Historiques, and are the only cellars to hold this prestigious recognition. The style of Ruinart champagnes, based on the much sought-after Chardonnay variety, is geared towards elegance, purity and lingering freshness.

*Clink, Chat & Catch Up!* w/ Sallie Felton @SallieFelton!

*CLINK HERE* to listen!

We clink and chat with author, transitional specialist, speaker & lifecoach Sallie Felton! Let's tell you a bit about her:

A former hypnotherapist, co-owner of a wellness center and deep imagery and visualization therapist, Sallie began her career in coaching in 2004. Her intuition, creative problem-solving skills and inherent knack for motivating and inspiring others made coaching a natural fit for her.

Prior to entering the health and wellness field, Sallie spent 12 years as the founder/CEO of The Rocking Horse, a national outerwear manufacturing company, and six years in publishing with Houghton Mifflin. An expert alpine skier and formerly ranked New England tennis player, Sallie is familiar with the pressure of competition, what happens when we compare ourselves with others and how much hard work, fortitude and dedication it takes to achieve our highest goals and unlock our potential.

When she’s not coaching, skiing or playing tennis, Sallie takes to the outdoors to put her expert gardening skills into play, which have earned her home several features on the Hamilton-Wenham (Massachusetts) Garden Tours. No grass grows under her feet, & she wears many hats as a Professional Life Coach (PCC), facilitator, motivational speaker and author of 3 books. Her unique approach is equal parts honesty, playfulness and genuine compassion! As a transitional specialist, both one-on-one and through her workshops, she has helped thousands of single women, young professionals, new mothers, small business entrepreneurs, mid-life adults, empty-nesters, baby boomers, retirees and those wanting to conquer clutter to create and reach their goals.

Sallie has co-authored books with Stephen Covey, Deepak Chopra, Dr. John Gray, Les Brown and other great thought leaders of our time.

Today she is here to share her latest passionate project, her new book called "If I'm So Smart, Why Can't I Get Rid Of This Clutter?!?", a how-to book power-packed with specific strategies to help you conquer physical, emotional, and mental "clutter".

--> Sallie shares amazing & profound insights into our way of overburdening ourselves with expectations that cannot be met. We talk about how she was inspired to listen, give back & help others, shorter lists, the expectation of perfection, the inner critic, starting where you stand, being more flexible, S.M.A.R.T. & what it stands for & SOOOOOO much more! She mentions Freecycle as a great organization to help, writes frequently for Positively Positive & has written a chapter in Mark Singer's book (JUST launched) "The Six Secrets to a Happy Retirement."!
