After a crazy 449 days, Miranda Gibson, the 31 year old brave activist, from Tasmania, was forced to leave her platform in The Observer Tree, located in a forest near Hobart, due to a suspicious bushfire reaching only a scary 1km away from her. This passionate nature lover has been at her perch in the 60 metre eucalypt tree since December 2011. Even though she has reluctantly left the tree for now, she has not ruled out returning to her post and vows to continue on her campaign to stop logging in high conservation value forests. Check out her blog for some amazing photos and find some more information about her cause. Where would our world be, without people like Amanda, standing up for what she beleives in?   http://observertree.org/

From my tree top perch I have watched the sun rise over this forest hundreds of
times. Yet, each day, the moment when the sun first touches the tree tops never
fails to mesmerize me. Every day is different. I want to share with you just one
of these many beautiful mornings. From the moment the shadows of trees begin to  emerge out of the mist in the pre-dawn light, to the sun making an appearance
above the mountains and casting light across the valley…

Lola Berry is one of my many inspirations so I thought I would share her with you all! She is an extremely passionate, quirky, colorful and fun leading Australian Nutritionist with sky high dreams and the world at her feet. Her message is clear and so very true that healty nutritious foods are the most delicious! So far she has accomplished so much with TV appearances, radio spots and her own popular web series. I am looking forward to reading her most recent book: The 20/20 Diet about how she lost 20 kilos in 20 weeks. Personally I cannot wait to see what comes from this lovely lady next!

Before the sun had even risen this morning, it seemed my week was off to a horrid start. However just because of one unfortunate event, I am not going to accept that anything else negative should come my way. In fact, I am choosing to believe the complete opposite. This week is going to be an amazingly positive and happy week filled with love, laughter and creativity!

You can't live a positive life with a negative mind!!
So just be happy :)
