30 days challenge I’ve got a thing about quotes. I used to have one at the bottom of my email signature that I changed regularly. Maybe I should redo that. But the best quote that has ever been shared with me is the following
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
Gandhi said this, and I truly think it is a wonderful sentiment to live by. It feels so powerful, its not just about treating others how you want to be treated, or believing in yourself, though I do think this is part of the message, but to me it feels like it is saying, go out there and make things happen, for you, your family and the rest of the world. Don’t just accept the norm, make change happen. And that is pretty special.
So, blog readers, go out there and make things happen for you and the people you love. Noone else will.

30 days challenge I LOVE LOVE LOVE to read!
I should totally make a list of all the books I’ve read this year (that is a whole other blog post though!)
I’m going to cheat though, and not pick a book but a series of books. I love the Rizzoli and Isles series of books by Tess Gerritsen. Jane Rizzoli is a tough guy cop and Maura Isles is the medical examiner she works closely with

30 days challenge Another favourite one…
We watch a lot of TV shows on dvd, I’m sat watching supernatural as we speak!
I think though, my all time favourite one would have to be Veronica Mars – Kristen Bell plays the feisty teenage PI who helps her father solve mysteries all across town. Its such a great show – I was gutted it never got past 3 seasons.

Friday Five I’ve decided to try and take part in the Friday Five from www.friday5.org and this week the theme is RED!
- What is your favorite red food?
I think I would have to say Strawberries! And especially all things strawberry flavoured. My particular favourite (though it’s pink rather than red) is strawberry milkshake
2. When were you last caught red-handed?
I don’t think I’ve ever done anything that has warranted being caught red handed!
3. What’s your nicest red article of clothing?
Every girl should own a pair of red shoes, I have a pair that I got for J and Kaz’s wedding and they are the sexiest shoes I’ve ever owned! They have a stiletto heel and a stacked heel. They are a deep red and I lurve them!
4. Who’s got the loveliest red hair?
I think I’m gonna have to say Nicole Kidman, I adore her hair.
5. What are your thoughts on the 2002 Baz Luhrmann film Moulin Rouge!
I’ve never seen it!
