Influences and Inspirations!
Monday, 12 January 2009
Hi everyone, I hope you all had a good weekend.
We got together again yesterday for our twelfth video blog. We spoke about people that influence and inspire us, we had five separate categories i.e. family, friend, historical figure e.t.c. and had to name one person in each category.
This is not as easy as you might think…first of all, when put on the spot, ones mind tends to go blank (well mine does any way) and secondly, it is hard to pick just one as so many people influence us over the years, sometimes in the most unexpected places and ways!
Well, rather than try and explain it all, you can have a watch/laugh/cringe/whatever!
This week, my daughter Robyn came with me to see how it all works, and she got roped in to a short blog on her visit to the studio (a.k.a Trojans bedroom), she acted all shy and sweet in front of the camera…but we know her better, so we'll drag her more aggressive side out another time. Now she wants to come again and has lots of ideas for blogs. So watch this space, we’ve created a monster!
Have a great week, hope you enjoy our videos.
Trojan, Sally and Robyn xxx

Email this postA Nicer Place
Wednesday, 5 November 2008
A good friend sent me an e-mail yesterday, this was part of that e-mail and it touched me.
This is a poem written by the beautiful Audrey Hepburn, it was read out at her funeral, I thought I’d share it with you.
“For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.”
Perhaps if we all tried to live life in this vein, the world would be a much nicer place.
Humbled,
Sal xxx
