I am regularly amazed, surprised and inspired by the ingenuity of friends, family and work colleagues I am lucky enough to be surrounded by. The number of people who work full time, have projects on the side, write blogs, start businesses, help charities, study – often quietly, without fanfare or a need for recognition. Scratch the surface and you discover such extraordinary talent and interest hiding in people you think you know well.

Two Aussie expats on a one year secondment to Chicago (yes, one of them may be my sister). Hilarious take on all things American.
Creative, challenging, honest ideas for provoking thoughts and discussion – “Sometimes a good idea rattles around in your head like a loose pinball and it’s only when we share it with other people, that the idea takes shape and form”.
Take a leave of absence from your job as a management consultant; head to the city where dreams are made of; find an internship with a non-profit tech startup. Easy. Challenging? Inspirational. Now read the blog;

A med-student crazy about all things cupcake. .. “If T.S Eliot's Prufrock claimed to measure out his meagre life in coffee spoons, I believe my existence could well be quantified by the numerous measuring cups of flour, sugar and cocoa that I sift and stir each week in pursuit of baking perfection.”
