LETTUCE TO THE EDITOR
SEXtember 08 Issue MiLK Magazine
Just the suggestion of a SEXtember issue to the MiLK Mag team was enough to get the creative juices flowing! Yes, it's about sex - of course - but also creative expression and firing up the imagination. The issue has brought up lots of 'issues' and realisations for us as women and mothers. And, even if the closest thing you're getting to sex at the moment is some oral adventure with your toothbrush, we hope the SEXtember issue helps awaken you to the possibility of some self-expression, spontaneity and passion in your life.Next Month's Issue

Post a CommentAugust 08 Issue MiLK Magazine
What an incredible first issue it turned out to be. It was quite a ride meeting our (self-imposed) July deadline. It feels unbelievably positive to be part of something real for mums in its embryonic stage.
The August issue is absolutely FULL of interesting, inspiring and moving content. It’s our aim to serve this up for you each month and, so far, it’s been a full but fun and rewarding journey.
In this issue, don’t go past our very first Smells Great in Here column by aromatherapist, Natasha Pascall. Go to the August issue page for a full run-down of this month’s smorgasboard.
We truly value your feedback! Last month’s Kitchen Catch-up interview with human rights advocate, Kay Danes, really struck a chord. Two readers felt moved to comment.
"I've read this book and it's a great read. Kay Danes shows remarkable mental strength to have endured unlawful detainment and to go on and help other families who haven't a clue where to begin helping their own loved ones in prison. I especially liked the chapter by Kay's mother Noela. You can see where Kay's resilience must come from. It's a well written book and easy to read and the chapters are all referenced so you can either go help a family or read more on a particular topic relevant to the chapter. Excellent! Thank you MiLK for bringing this story to us."

"Good on you Kay Danes. It is inspiring to see that someone can pull through an experience like yours and not only survive it, but to gather strength from it and fight against injustice and prejudice and be the voice for those who cannot speak. I know there are still days when the experience comes back to haunt you, but you have never let that stop your mission. And your husband Kerry is a very balanced individual, more than a lot of people one can meet. I think we need reminders of how strong human beings can be in terrible situations. In contrast many who have never been through real ordeals succumb to modern maladies like 'road rage' or refusing to give even 2 dollars to a charity and other ridiculous self-absorbed behaviour... Obviously the Lao police and government picked on the wrong couple! And you dug deep, and you nailed them for it."
