Whenever I hear about something new that Nicole Richie has accomplished I am truly blown away. Some may snicker and say "of course, she's a celebrity with loads of money and people to help her", and yes, although she is in a privileged position, in reality there are so many hours one has in a day & we all have the choice in what we do with them.
With so many celebrities using their money, fame, spare time etc for self indulgent activites (ultimately hurting themselves and those around them), Nicole seems to be making the most of every single second in her life to accomplish her own dreams, give back to her community and care for her young family.
To me Nicole is an inspiration. She's gone through some rocky territory on her road to adulthood however she seems to have learned some life changing lessons from her experiences, getting back up on her feet and continuing on with a desire to make the absolute most of the precious life she's been given. Recently she was named Entrepreneur of the Year in Glamour Magazine's 'Women of the Year' Awards in London, another highlight in her ever growing list of achievements.
Nicole currently juggles motherhood, designing, running businesses and can claim to be a New York Times best selling author. Her first book "The Truth About Diamonds" was published in 2006, and her new Novel 'Priceless' hit book stores here in Australia yesterday. Thanks to Harper Collins I not only have one book on it's way for me to devour, but 3 copies to give away!
