Welcome to a New Liis on Life!

Thank you so much for visiting Liis on Life! I am so happy to share this space with you and am looking forward to connecting often. Yes, this website is a play on my name… but it really does reflect a new energy for me, a new direction, a new purpose in life. If we […]

So Liis, Why Are You Eating Paleo Anyway?

You will notice on my site and in my social media posts that I reference Paleo food and share my healthy concoctions quite frequently. If you have found your way to Liis on Life, you may already know a bit – or a lot – about the Paleo way of eating. Or you may have […]

Let’s Change the Body Conversation

Want to get really in tune with the gloriousness that is your body?  Have it fall apart completely. Wake up one day and your legs work. Wake up another and they don’t. Same with your brain. Especially your brain. Have abilities. Lose abilities. Have abilities. Lose abilities. Have abilities. (Wanted to end that on an […]

Always Think Like a Kid

Why do we love and admire children so much?  Why do they make us laugh even when they are doing everyday activities?  I know why.  Kids lead honest lives and adults lie.  We do. Let me explain. Kids do not deny themselves simple everyday pleasures.  Adults do.  Kids do not stifle their feelings.  Adults do.  […]

Make Morning Meditation as Important as Brushing Your Teeth

Let’s break these down shall we?  Several years back I was chatting with my dear friend Meghan and she paid me a compliment.  As per conditioning and without hesitation, […]

Has Your Look Evolved Out of Conscious Creativity or Habit?

My closet looks happy. It looks like this website – bright, serene and colourful and reflects all aspects of my personality.  I like to think I have created a website that is peacefully energetic and think my clothing looks the same. But this wasn’t always the case and it took purging my closet and preparing […]

Fashionably Speaking: Mo and His Bows Will Win Your Heart

  I am quite smitten with any child who creates a company so when I saw Moziah Bridges, the dynamic, passionate and sharp 11 year old CEO of Mo’s Bows winning over the tough judges on Shark Tank I couldn’t stop grinning. I admired the fact that the sharks turned down his investment request because […]

In Grandma’s Garden

When I think of my grandma, and I say this with the utmost respect and awe, I think of dirt and dill. The yield she got out of her tiny garden was mind blowing. And it forms many of my fondest childhood memories. We’d have many conversations about good dirt and bad dirt. One had […]
