Shy Keenan and Sara Payne have won Women of the Year 2008. They have campaigned to get Sarah's Law onto the statute books. This law allows parents to know if a paedophile is in the area. The campaign started after Sarah Payne, Sara's 8 year old daughter, was abducted and killed in 2000 by a known paedophile.

I was struck by one thing that Sara said. "Do one thing every day that makes you proud and little by little we can change the world". It's a great maxim to live by. Do one thing every day to make you proud. How many of us live lives of mediocrity? We tread water through life, just getting by. We do the minimum required to get through. We cut corners and do a half baked job.
Does living like that every day make you proud? I don't think so. How different would things be if you did them in a way that made you proud? What would that be like? How much better would your life be? How much better would life be for your family and friends? How much happier would you be?
What did you do today that made you proud? What will life be like tomorrow with that feeling?
