Food Food Food
Food, glorious food: a fundamental need yet how often do we take it for granted? We’ve come to expect the convenience of plucking the very best in fresh produce from our supermarket shelves or local markets all year round – but at what cost to our farmers, our environment and future generations.
The Queensland State Government has taken up the challenge and with Openideo , they are asking the community to put forward their inspirations and concepts on how to better connect food production with urban food consumption. This site is so inspiring - check out the challenge brief and also have a look at the concepts that amazing people from Australia (and around the world) are sharing with us.

Act your age young woman!
Is it really two months since I last blogged? [me bad] I wish I could say that its my fast, crazy and fantabulous lifestyle thats kept me from my MacBook but not quite. Fast, somewhat. Crazy, a little. Fantabulous, not so much. Being 40, well.....its pretty ordinary so far. Yes I turned 40. Hip Hip Hooray [let the doves loose and harps play] I had a wonderful birthday with a get together of a few friends. This involved a few cocktails and karaoke. Actually quite few cocktails.
So now Im officially 40 and is life any different? No not one little bit. When someone asks me how old I am, I do have to stop and think. I still feel like i'm in my late twenties or early thirties. So is age just a number? I think it may be true. So if we think we are younger do we live longer? If we act older do we limit our life?
Ask yourself: do you act your age?

The Julie Project
The Julie Project is a photo essay of Julie over 18 years. Julie is a mother, homeless, drug addict and AIDS sufferer. Someone posted a link to this project on twitter. I read it and cried. Julie is only 2 years younger than me, she’s 38 im about to be 40. I cant believe how different our lives are not only now as adults but as children. I suspect though that Julie didn’t have the opportunity to be a child. When you have five minutes take the time to read and view the photos. Also take the time to reflect.
