The Way Forward

Hi All

Ok so I haven't posted in a couple of months but I'm back. My friend's wedding was last week and it was beautifull. I am howevert getting a bit freaked by all my friends getting married and having babies! Yes I said it, my one friend is pregnant! I am really happy for her as I know she really wanted to be a mom but this part of our lives has really snuck up on me. I whish we could go back to those carefree days of University where the only thing we were worried about was the cute guy in the back of the class and the color lipgloss we wanted to buy.

Talking about buying, I bought a new car and got it on friday. I absolutley love it!Hopefully it will give me less issues than my 4x4. It has been quite a change from driving a 4x4 to a sport but loving it! Being a diesel car it also has less CO2 emmissions and this specific car has less than most in it's range.

This also brings me to one of my new years resolutions - TRY SAVING MONEY!
Ok so I don't know if I said this before but I have a little shopping problem. OK so it's not so little but this year I want to try something different, something I have never tried before. BUDGETTING!
It is going to be hard in the beginning but I am sure that I will be able to do it!

Another resolution I made for the new year is to live a healthier life. This means to be more consious of what I put into my body and the earth. I also want to be more active in conservation causes such as the Sea Sheperd's war against whaling. They are fighting the war against the Japanese whalers where they hunt whales in a whale sanctuary and are making a real impact! Here is the link to their website http://www.seashepherd.org/whales/whale-wars.html.

Another website I came across is related more to South Africa, which I loved as most sites were usually based in other countires. I am changing the world is a non profit organisation working to show that every person can make a difference. Their website lists all their projects and how to get involved as well as ideas on how you can go green and save the planet. Here is the link to their website http://www.iamchangingtheworld.org.za/

Lastly I want to mention a newish foundation called the Ian Somerhalder foundation or ISFoundation. I love this foundation but do think I might be a little biased seeing as I am a fan on it's founder Ian Somerhalder from Vampire Diaries fame. This foundation wants to empower people to impact positivley on the planet and its animals. The link to the website is http://www.isfoundation.com/

Ok so for today I think that's it. I will try to keep you updated on my budgetting attempts and what projects I get invloved in.
