It’s officially summer and for parents of school aged kids – it means the culmination of our year. No more lunches, extracurricular activities and the temporary disbandment of the carpool. Two blissful months which pass by at mach speed offering us either a little taste of paradise – or a sneak peak in hell – this of course depends on your …
It’s been an interesting week for both professional and personal growth for me. Late last week I was back in my element interviewing people about their businesses and their passions. It felt so nice to ask questions that get results. Actually, it was just really nice to be doing something I don’t have to second guess. I’m still fragile when …
The world of social media is a very funny thing. You try and figure out what it is that people like or want to see or read. I must admit I haven’t quite figured it all out yet. One thing that I find incredibly valuable through the platforms is the ability to be inspired. I try not to get hung …
My favourite question from strangers who stop me on the street these days is “How are you enjoying ‘retirement’”? I am quick to smile, then laugh, then set them straight (especially on the local TV salary side). I am working harder now than ever before but with 3 additional hours of sleep a night, although some nights are more restless …
Happy New Content Monday! If you have followed any of my Instagram and social media posts you will notice I’ve been spending quite a bit more time in Natural Food Pantry (NFP) these days. While they already have three established stores in the city, the new location in Barrhaven is perfect for me. It’s a gorgeous space with a bakery, kitchen classrooms …
Happy New Content Tuesday! I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend. I was particularly impressed with Monday. I love the sun and the heat – my mood changes instantly! 😊 My “Living Your Life with Lianne Laing” podcast continues to grow in numbers and downloads. Please share with others and remember to like or comment after the episodes. It goes …
Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend. I always joke that despite the fact that I have two daughters, Mother’s Day is still about my mom and I’m lucky to be able to say that. I’m not as fortunate when it comes to Father’s Day. I wish people were able to tell their loved ones every …
I can’t believe May is upon us. It truly feels like yesterday I left CTV Morning Live, despite the fact that I am heading into my sixth month off the show! When I look at my “to do” lists I can’t believe how much has already been accomplished and yet how much more growth is needed. I am truly hoping …
Four years ago, right around this time I stood (more like kneeled over and vomiting) at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro with two of my best friends, Brynn and Carol. It was a grueling night to summit in a snow storm, battling altitude sickness and the freezing cold temperatures. It is one of my proudest accomplishments. Brynn and Carol have …
Happy Monday! Spring finally arrived this weekend! Do you notice how people are just in better moods? It was so nice to see people sitting on their front stoops, cleaning out the garage, washing their cars – trying to take in the vitamin D they’ve been lacking for months. It’s a rebirth as the grass appears and the sun soothes. …
