Lianne Raymond

Hi. I'm Lianne. I appreciate you stopping by.

 

I'm on a mission - there's a good chance you landed here because you are, too. Whether you are longing to love yourself more, yearning for more fulfilling relationships or hoping to feel more enchanted with your life - you have found a home for those desires.

Danielle LaPorte doesn't call me Her Majesty of Questioning Just About Everything for nothing.  It is becoming obvious that the old paradigm just ain't cutting it anymore. Like fish that are unaware of the water they are swimming in, our culture is still swimming in outdated ideas that are dragging us down. These ideas are permeating your life in ways you aren't even aware of. But you're feeling it, aren't you? Like an itchy sweater you are wearing to a formal dinner you didn't even want to attend. I question it all so you can change into something comfy. And the big, juicy question I love to ask  is...

What is it to let your heart move you instead of living a life of forcefulness?

If you're not even sure what I mean by that - well, that just gets me even more excited. Cause I can't wait to show you.

everyday love stories

DateFriday, January 6, 2012

Last night I tuned into Patti Digh's party to celebrate her new website. As I am in the midst of the long and fun and frustrating and iterative process of turning this website into something that really feels like home, I was curious to hear about Patti's process.

But the moment that landed fully in my heart had nothing to do with her website and everything to do with her love for her daughter. Patti got teary as she explained how she wanted to be home more for her daughter. I have always liked Patti, but I fell in love with her right there.

When my dad was dying a little over a year ago and I was at his bedside, one of the last things I said to him was, "Dad, you gave me the greatest gift any child could ever have - I always knew you were crazy about me." 

Patti is giving her daughter that same gift, and it is my wish that every child, young and old, have that. The best love story ever.
