To Make You Think....

Just cause it makes you stand back and think.

It's called 'Moments' by Will Hoffman [presented by Radiolab]. This film is a celebration of life that was inspired by David Eagleman's book, Sum.

The Notebook

I am mildly obsessed with the movie The Notebook...mildly. (Just ask my sister and my friend Samantha).

But really how could you not? It's the most perfect chick flick...the perfect love story we dream about.



I've seen it a ridiculous amount of times and still cry every single time I see it...

It's that moment of following your heart and taking that leap of faith and being with the 'one' who you truly love [madly & deeply] with all your heart...

It's that passion...raw emotion...and Noah & Allie are the perfect couple...flaws and all.

And despite the fact they [Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling ] didn't make it as a couple in real life...you secretly wished they would have stayed together.

Seriously you could cut the love tension with a knife...as so clearly displayed at the MTV Movie Awards...one of my favourite TV moments ever...

Their acceptance for winning the 'Best Kiss' in The Notebook...[Lindsay Lohan's expression is priceless..'OMG they are really kissing...no this is like really kissing...not acting kissing'.]

Wordless Wednesday.....

Ice cream, what?

101 Things To Do In 1001 Days

So I initially heard about this concept from a local radio station in town....each member of the morning show made a list of 25 things that they want to accomplish in 1001 days. The idea comes from the website Day Zero.

According to Day Zero the idea is "a unique meme that challenges and inspires you to set and complete realistic goals in life."

It's all about tasks that are new to you...things you've always wanted to do/try but never found the time or made excuses to put it on hold for a later date. It's all about coming out of your comfort zone and just going for it...it can be a simple task or something daring.

It's about being adventurous and taking the leap...you only live once and like Oprah & Dr. Oz preach it's all about living your best life every single day and making the most of it. It's about learning something new and engaging yourself with people around you...making that connection. And most importantly it's all about having fun and finally sticking to a list that you've made. No more broken promises to yourself.

Have fun with your list...the possibilities are endless.
