My name is Justine. I am joining the Care Australia 'I am powerful' cycle challenge in Vietnam in February and March 2011. 2010 has been a busy year, which is partly the reason I am taking the trip and partly the reason for the name of this blog. I need to take some time out to smell the roses and to be calm.

Thank you CAQ
Last year, I edited a book on golf croquet for my dear friend and neighbour Terry. I did it as a favour for both Terry and the Croquet Association of Queensland, a non-profit organisation Terry is very passionate about.
I was surprised (and horrified) when a cheque arrived in the mail. I tried to give it back to Terry, but he insisted on paying me. He told me to use it for something special, to make my work on the book a 'positive experience'.
So, because I never expected to receive payment for this work, I have donated this money to Care Australia - making the work a very positive experience, paying it forward.
Thank you CAQ.
