Our little rascal of a puppy, Buttons, kept me company, helped distract me on hard days and literally grew up during the months I was on leave! :)

Words cannot express how deeply grateful I am to my GL Family for all your expressions of love, well wishes and support in 2022. It is so wonderful to be back and the reconnection moments with my team and colleagues have been so special (lots of hugs and some tears! Lol) To then find today that I was featured in the GL Newsletter with this official "welcome back" - well, it all just leaves me speechless. I am so blessed to work with such amazing, caring people. THANK YOU with all my heart! <3 :) - Linda

Linda, it is just not the same without you...your smile, enthusiasm, kindness always brightened the day.  Praying for you to sail through this surgery smoothly and so looking forward to your return!
My recommendation is the Incredible Attorney Woo on Netflix (I highly recommend watching in Korean, with English subtitles).

Much love,
Erin

Hi Linda,

Wishing you the best through this difficult time. I hope you have a speedy recovery and a return to Global Launch soon!

I am into the fantasy right now, so I enjoyed Rings of Power on Amazon. And I also enjoyed reading a book called Carnegie's Maid. It's a light read, but totally enjoyable!

Take care,
Alissa

Linda, I've really missed seeing you in the office! It's just not the same without your gentle, sweet and cheerful demeanor to brighten up the place. I'm hoping we get to see you again soon!

There have been lots of great movie and show recommendations, so I thought I would add a book series for you: At Home in Mitford. It is a feel-good, comforting and heartwarming experience.

And I'll add a recommendation for a cute and fun series on Netflix: Dash & Lily. Perfect for the upcoming holidays.

Wishing you the best through your surgery and recovery! I'm so sorry for everything you've been going through. Hugs.
-Allison

Dear Linda,
I believe this season will soon come to an end, and I pray for God's grace to cover you and carry you through. "Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me" Ps. 23:4
Love you and hug you.

Hi Linda! GL is not the same without you! I pray for you safe and speedy recovery and envision you returning at the start of the new year. If you have Amazon prime, I recommend "Vikings" as a series to watch on prime video. It is addicting after you get hooked and it amazes me to see how people used to live in those times. :D
Sending love and hugs!

Linda, We miss you and your warm, gracious presence in the office, and are looking forward to your return. Please continue taking care of yourself and working your way back to good health! Sending prayers of comfort and strength to you and all your wonderful caregivers and medical team. Best, Dianna

Dear Linda,
I have missed seeing you in the office.  Your desk area just doesn’t look good without you there, and the office misses your relaxed and cheerful vibe. I am glad you have found an expert team of surgeons to work with, and I’ll be keeping watch for news. I’d like to pass on a suggestion someone gave me as I was getting ready for my knee replacement. She said to remember that it is my spirit and body wisdom that will guide the surgeons. That made me feel very involved in the process, and I felt less afraid. I have also heard that watching non-stop comedies is very healing.

Sending you live, prayers, and support.
Christine Dick

Linda! I think about you more often than you know. I hope you are doing well, keeping your spirits up and snuggling as much as possible with Buttons during this time. We miss you and are hopeful for your speedy recovery.

I love to watch Moana, Harry Potter or anything related to baking when I'm not feeling well. I also love coloring books!

Get well soon!
Sam T.

Hi Linda, I think of you often and wish you a safe surgery and speedy recovery. I look forward to the time when we can see your smiling face and hear your kind voice in the office again.

My all-time favorite book/movie is Pride and Prejudice, with the 1995 mini-series being my preferred version. The book I've read so many times that I can pick it up anywhere and put it down anytime and I still enjoy every page. The series is currently on Hulu or Amazon Prime if you are interested.

All the best,
Andrea

Linda, I wish you healing and a speedy recovery!

One of my favorite Netflix shows is Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories. It tells the stories of the lives of many ordinary Japanese people through their interaction in a small Japanese restaurant. The show always showcases a Japanese food or recipe. So fun and I can watch the episodes over and over!

Take care!
Susan

I think of you so often Linda and am sending you all the good healing juju on your journey and your upcoming surgery! I miss you more than words can say - I can't wait to hug you again soon and resume our fun & interesting chats!

A show I love is Good Witch - its enchanting, charming and always heart-warming. It started off as a series of individual movies and turned into a Netflix series with 7 seasons.

Virtual hugs coming at you! Michele

Hi Linda, we just wanted to let you know that we're thinking of you and wishing you the best. I look forward to seeing you back in the office as well and bringing some fun to the activities!

Some shows that we really like, that range from great to cheesy but entertaining, are House of Dragons recently, Survivor (my favorite reality show), Avenue 5 (HBO, if you like Hugh Laurie), Virgin River (Netflix, my wife likes it), Workin' Moms (Neflix comedy), Outer Banks (Netflix, cheesy but fun), and Stranger Things (Netflix).

Sending our best!

Hi Linda, I carry you and John with me every day in my thoughts and heart.

I offer two recommendations for mindless entertainment that also "feels good" and doesn't require too much thinking if you don't want to:
1. Just Add Magic (Amazon)
Based on a book series, this four season series follows the adventures of three teen girls that find a magical cookbook.   The stories are well written and entertaining.
2. Paper Girls (Amazon)
There's only one season of this but it's about four paper delivery girls from the 1980s that get flashed forward in time to meet their future selves. Then they have to figure out how to get back to their 1980's selves.

Hugs to you!
Lois

Hi Linda! I just wanted to let you know that I miss you and I can not wait for you to get back to work and we can work together again! (so excited). You are one of the purest people I have ever met in my life, you have amazing energy and positivity, and you are unbelievably kind.

My recommendations:  Gilmore Girls (Netflix) is one of my favorites, I feel like it is a warm tv show! , my ultimate favorite is Friends (HBO Max) if you are looking for a laugh.

Sending my love and hugs.

Hi Linda, I am wishing you the best with your surgery this November and hope for your return to Global Launch soon! I worked with you for a short time when I arrived in March and loved your positivity, spirit, and smile!

Recently I watched The School for Good and Evil on Netflix. It's a good family movie and Halloween themed and speaks to the theme of the powers of good and evil. I thought the special effects and story was great!!

Also, on DisneyPlus, there are these cute cartoon shorts where Mickey travels the world. The art is amazing and I enjoy watching short storylines that make me laugh. Here's one of Mickey going to a soccer game in Brazil!!

Okay another thing - here is the Grumpiest Cat on Earth!

Sending my best and un abrazo grande!

Hi Linda, I think of you often and wish you the very best in your healing journey.  It was suggested that we share some recommendations for good books and shows. "Where the Wild Things Are" always brings smiles and and a wonderful sense of home, and the PBS drama "All Creatures Great and Small" is beautiful, funny, and inspiring. (The first two seasons are already available and the third will be soon.) Health, happiness, and lots of love to you.
