"Life isn't measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away" - author unknown. Wasn't yesterday's sunset just glorious? Even without my rose coloured sunglasses it took my breath away. Dusk is settling upon another day and the scent of freshly baked banana cake is wafting from the kitchen down the hall to my study. I decided to make my man a treat tonight, he loves it when I bake which is quite rare even when I'm raw food. After a brisk run this morning my day began with the Zonta International Women's Day breakfast (this time I brought my green smoothie) where I caught up, if only briefly, with many friends, acquaintances, colleagues and even bumped into my lovely neighbour I mentioned in the last post. Our resident District Court Judge Bradley was the keynote speaker for the morning. HH reminded us of the many challenges that still face women both here and abroad and I thought with a smile on my face of two women who will soon have a new opportunity. Today I want to honour a good friend of mine who is one of the most amazing woman I know. Hannah lives in Payak, Thailand and we have been friends for many years now. If you knew how many children she has you would join with me in nominating this woman for mother of the year, she is also an amazing chef, business woman, community leader and always has a new project on the go and a big smile on her face. I am really excited about 'Project Mushroom' which we are launching together very soon. This micro-credit project will empower two women to start their own business in rural Thailand and thus set them up with a reliable and sustainable income - I'll keep you posted!
