May 26/11

Mood today? Sad.
Can't help it. Just am.

Elaine Loring: Life throws curveballs. I was a reporter/newscaster at 680 News; entertainment reporter at Global Television for 18 TV & movie star-filled years. Got married. Had 2 fantastic kids, both now in their twenties. Kate, a writer, sex blogger, educator and singer/songwriter. http://katewritesaboutsex.com/ Max? - FAB drummer, guitarist, teacher, singer/songwriter. Check out his band, Goodbye Honolulu. http://www.goodbyehonolulu.com/videos/ I stepped out of the spotlight (ha!), to help as caregiver for our ailing mother. My sister, Carrie, a professional singer, was co-caregiver, thank goodness. In 2010, Mum passed away. Five months later, still grieving her loss, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, had a lumpectomy and 16 rounds of radiation at Princess Margaret Hospital. Seven years, cancer-free. (knock wood). Discovered cancer messes with the mind. Dealt with some pretty out there, over-the-top thoughts, ideas, emotional highs, lows, and let my freak flag fly! Launched Lain's Log to chronicle experiences. My goal? - As a reporter, to TELL IT LIKE IT IS! - NO candy-coating. To life! elaine.loring@rogers.com
