If you need inspiration to go for some of your goals, read this New York Times article on Lhakpa Sherpa. The Nepali holds the record for most Everest ascents ever by a woman, she has no sponsors, has survived domestic abuse, and works at Wholefoods in Connecticut to pay for everything. Amazing.

The Grammys spotlight the big stars – but one major award delivered a surprise winner. Blues legend Bonnie Raitt won Song of the Year for Just Like That against the likes of Adele and Beyoncé. And get this, the 73yo’s song is about a stranger showing up on the doorstep of a woman who blames herself for her son’s death. Plot twist: the man got her son’s heart as a transplant… You can listen here – it’s quite beautiful.

Celeb chef Matt Moran’s ‘weeknight’ recipes can be a bit ambitious for us, but these spicy lamb koftas with some pita bread and a tomato/lettuce salad hit the mark this week. Five stars, will come again…
