.15 and 3... & from day 1 I have always
talked to my daughters
about how to
dress like POWER and CONFIDENCE... Not an easy task when all the other young women my daughter is
around wear clothes that are barely there... So far so good... she is all
about her mid section being covered... her shorts being NOY too short... no push up bras and she hates the thought of high heels... I must admit I hope she changes her feelings on the high heels..
My daughter puts these sneakers on with everything and we're

talked with us for no other reason than to have a quick chat or ask
about our home countries.
I'd seen this film a long time ago but when I saw it again this time, I had a much better appreciation of the Aboriginal way of being and the thing that really struck me in this film was there was a section of the film where they were going to do this aeroplane song and dance corroboree and they were getting ready for it and you know there are all these Elders and you know very wise and respected Elders you know making their costumes they were gonna wear,
talking about how it was gonna be and in amongst all these people there's little children you know of one 1 or 2 or 3 years old who were just crawling
around and you know watching and listening, trying on their head -
dresses and they were completely welcomed into that adult community, there was no sense of, you know this is grown up business, you kids go off and play which is very much the western model.
