From Coast to Coast, from Sea to shining Sea....





Lots of things have happened in the past twentyfour hours!
My big little sister got her mitts on the new Iphone 3GS, it only came out yesterday, lucky fourteen year old! - Happy Belated Birthday sis

I went to my friends' Kieras' leaving party, it was fancy dress, and the highlight was definately Jack and Gareth who decided to come as strippograms...( I hear a far amount of fake tan was used...)

I stripped my entire bedroom in order to redecorate it, with a little help from some friends....I've finished redecorating now, so more pictures to follow.....

In other more important news, I have found a basis for my project his summer, I don't know if any of you have heard of Danny Wallace? But if you've seen YES man, then you probably will have. Danny Wallace and his Karma Army simply want to make the world a better place - (int it nice folks!). A friend gave me his book 365 Acts to make the world a better place for my Birthday, and I basically haven't looked at it since. So this summer, I will attempt to do 100 or so 'Random Acts of Kindness' - and photograph them all for your viewing pleasure (Y). I'm doing my first one this afternoon...wish me luck!

“Our biggest fear is not that we are inadequate.Our biggest fear is that we are powerful beyond measureIt is our light, not our darkness that scares us the most.We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine,we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

And so it begins..

Welcome to my summer blog! I've now finished all my eighteen exams, a very good feeling, I'm sure many of you will also feel, and I now have eleven or so glorious weeks of nothingness at my disposal. Because I'm already fidgiting at the prospect of becoming lazy, I have started a list of things I wish to accomplish and or do over this summer :)

This blog will most probably manifest itself by turning into a lethargic diary of ramblings, but please bear with me!

So, a few things about me? My name is Grace Pengelly, I am a sixteen year old human rights enthusiast, clothes hag, methodist ministers daughter, sci-fi movie buff, thinker, girlfriend, Barista, reader and coffee drinker. Oh, and I have a little addiction to Post Secret. (http://postsecret.blogspot.com/)

List soon to follow!

Let me introduce you to Kina Grannis, she truely is nourishment for the soul......
