Great blog. I came across it through the edublog awards, and I like the content and the design. Excellent.
THANK YOU! How generous of you to take the time to comment.:) It is a labour of love.
I’m very impressed with your work Dannielle, congratulations!
I’m the author of Goddess.com.au and the tools for the empowerment of world-wild women. Time and time again I wonder what would happen if we could learn from DAY ONE what precious and beautiful beings we were born to be…. How wonderful!
Love love love,

Hi Dannielle,
I am a year 12 student in Adelaide and am currently working on a major assignement for Studies of Society exploring the sexualisation of children.
I recently viewed your interview on 60 minutes and was really fascinated with your views and opinions relating to this issue.
As apart of my issues analysis I am required to conduct and interview. I was just wondering if I could contact you by e-mail some time next week regarding my assignment if you would be willing to answer some of my questions.
Thank you for your time
