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/

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 :)

Today I took the leap and enrolled at The Endeavour College Of Natural Health to study Nutritional Medicine through a Bachelor of Health Science.

For a long time I have been looking for inspiration and waiting patiently for something to come along and push me in the right direction. I finally realized that it’s been right in front of me all along. I have always been interested in health and fitness so why not strive towards a career in this industry that I love?

Right now leaving my job and studying full time is not an appealing option so instead I will be a part time student with a mixture of online and night classes. It’s a little scary to think I’ll be going back to school after 4 years of working, travelling and living abroad. No doubt there is a lot of hard work ahead of me and the only way to do this is to jump straight in with an open mind and work my butt off!

In light of my new found positivity and excitement for whats to come, I have decided to start this blog to share my journey. This space will be for my life experiences and all things that inspire me.

A brand new year is upon us with so much potential and I am proud that I will be making the most of everyday.
