The most inspirational women

In my life there have been many women who inspired me, and perhaps not for the reasons you might think...

1. Madonna - Did you know she writes lists? Me either until I read an article in a women's magazine and totally got inspired!

2. The Queen of England - She is one amazing leader. Did you know she was out and working during World War II as a princess to help her country? And her work ethic has been passed on to her children and grand children. She leads by example, I like that.

3. The woman on the cover of the magazine - you know the one, always beautiful, and at the cutting edge of fashion. Contrary to the popular saying that beauty magazines only make you feel ugly - I was inspired by them, to try out new fashions (and to create some of my very own).

4.My Mum - I learnt to take things as they come (apparently I'm very patient) and to be an independent thinker from my Mum.

5. Brown Owl - Brown Owl knew EVERYTHING! Ok maybe not everything, but she sure knew how to tie those knots and gave me life skills that I use even today. I still do the washing up the same way I learnt in Brownies (thanks Brown Owl) and I can light a camp fire with one match (no gas or flammable liquids involved).

6. Dame Margot Fonteyn - The most beautiful Ballet Dancer who ever lived, I'm not kidding, she was amazing and still dancing when most would be retired. She taught me grace and posture (I am sitting up a little straighter just thinking about it).

So that's just my opening list, but I'm sure there are more to add...
