Shannon Ingram

My Blog Circle:

I grew up in Newport Beach, California, married a yacht captain in 1977 and moved to the Virgin Islands. After two years in St. Thomas we moved over the rainbow to Honolulu and spent 10 years there. Returned to California and worked for Disneyland for five years before moving to Colorado and getting into the tech industry. My first husband died in 1995. I married a second time in 1999. In 2003, I left my corporate marketing and communications career and moved back to Southern California with my husband, this time to become a caregiver for my elderly parents. I wrote a book, "The Heart Way-A Journey from Corporate to Care" (2006) and then found my way back to corporate. I'm EVP/Managing Director of the LA office of FaceTime Strategy, a fabulous marketing and communications company. My beloved parents have now left the planet, but my husband and I still live in Southern California. My goal is to be a blend of Erma Bombeck, Oprah and Marianne Williamson...and to make my readers think and smile!

"OK, I just have to weigh in here.  And I weigh a lot more than I did when I was 30 or 40.  But you know what, I walk every day, eat smaller portions of what I've always loved, visit Jenny Craig when I FEEL like it, and still wear shorts and sleevel..." (read comment)

"Some rituals are sacred habits to me, such as making the time to visit with my husband every weeknight (even if it's by phone when one of us is traveling). For me, they tend to be somewhat spiritual but not necessarily religious.  I think I would de..." (read comment)
