Shasher's Life

I nominated my sister Lise for the Dove Celebrate Mom Contest. She is an activist, hard worker, loyal friend, generous to a fault, supporter, volunteer and super passionate about her four daughters and their future.
 
She has shown her girls that long-lasting beauty is truly from the inside out, to stand up for what is right and protect those who can't protect themselves. Lise has demonstrated with her life that it is important to be compassionate and that it is possible to be strong and yet humble. She is an activist, hard worker, loyal friend, generous to a fault, supporter, volunteer and super passionate about her four daughters and their future.
 
 

Know an amazing mom who’s an inspiration to women and girls? Celebrate her!

Visit www.CelebrateMom.ca by September 4th to nominate her for the Dove Celebrate Mom Contest.

She could win $2,500 for herself and $2,500 to be donated to the charity of her choice. But more importantly, you’ll be introducing young girls to real role models who inspire them to reach their full potential! Nominate her now!

I am the mom to 3 boys & 1 girl. Together with my husband of 18 years, we lead a crazy awesome church in Kitchener, Ontario.

After being teased in High School for being a "Social Butterfly" and told it wouldn’t take me very far in life, I fell into the serious world of banking. At the end of 17 years of feeling stuck... in the fall of 2007 I packed up my business suits & sensible shoes to be a stay-at-home mom.


I started blogging in 2006 and as the late-bloomer that I am, I didn’t join Facebook until 2007. I “dabbled” in social media enough to cause some people to worry about my growing addiction.

Blogging went from hobby to a passion to a career in 2009 when a marketing company took notice and snatched me up to lead their Social Media Marketing department.

My Chrysalis moment came in 2010 when I decided to dive into the Twitter-craze — suddenly my Social Butterfly was again unleashed.

In 2013 my business partner and I took over Canada's premier Social Media / Blogging conference, BlissDom Canada.

To the High School teacher who didn't see my potential, I just have one thing to say…. How do you like me now?!
