In this world of blogging, I have discovered that it’s the most random, last-minute events that will undoubtedly capture you the most.
Some of you may be aware of my personal affiliation with World Vision Australia. I ran for them at the City 2 Surf and after much (unnecessary) contemplation, became a sponsor.
When I was invited to attend the book launch for “Vision of Hope: Mother and Child” yesterday, I scrambled my schedule around so that I could be there tonight. And I was not disappointed.
I will write a much more detailed post at a later date, but in the meantime, I leave you with this beautiful capture from the book and its accompanying poignant quote:
“If we do not plant knowledge when young, it will give us no shade when we are old” – Lord Chesterfield
You can purchase a copy of the book here, where proceeds will help the poorest communities around the world.

It was so good to meet you last night! Loved going, and the photos in the book were incredible….so wished I had space in our Motorhome to buy a copy…maybe I should buy one to give away?
Be great to catch up again sometime soon….love how sweet your boys are (the bath time story is so very cute!!)
Glad I went and meet you, juggling family to attend events like last night are so worth it 😉
