Inspirational Girl

I had a wake up call recently.

A friend of my family was over in the UK visiting and got herself into a jam. She had lost her credit card and the replacement was no good for cash. She also got let down by a friend in London, so had virtually no money to last the few days before flying home to Australia.

On hearing the news I had no problem helping her out and took a short train ride over to her hotel. She was out in Salisbury for the day as she had a travel pass, so I had a drink in a bar up the road to wait the half hour or so.

I took her back to the bar as she was hungry and I quickly learned how much fighting spirit and joy this girl of 23 years has. Being pretty much 95% blind has not made this girl hesitate or hold back from living her life. This was her third trip to Europe and she intended a lot more ‘living’. Travelling can be pretty hard work at the best of times but Marian took it all in her stride.

I think the story speaks for itself in terms of what we can achieve and how thankful we should be for what we have. But yep, ‘wake up call’ springs to mind!!

Leaving Microsoft to change the World

Imagine not having a book to read when you were going up as a kid? We take this stuff for granted but in 1998, John Wood, a rising executive at Microsoft, took a soul-searching trip to the Himalayas that changed his life. What started as a trekking holiday in Nepal became a spiritual journey, and then a mission: to change the world one book and one child at a time by setting up libraries in the developing world. He was soon driven to leave his career with only a loose vision of the change he wanted to bring to the world.

I’ll say no more just have a read of the site and read the book

Hats off to John I think..
