Hi Mia and the Mamamia team,
I sent you an email yesterday but thought a video might be more useful for you, and a little more personal.
I shot this after running this morning, my hair is looking like a dog’s breakfast (big-time, a little embarrassed!) and you will notice flies dance around my face like it’s 1999.
Sometimes I film the sky instead of my head.
Also, there are pauses where I can’t find the right words. Oh and then there is the wind element… just turn it up a notch so you can hear.
But none of that is relevant.
This is me, keeping it real – raising money and awareness for the Afghan Women’s Writers Project.
I would love it if through the power of your website you could give some space to my campaign and help me get the support of your readers to help women much less fortunate then ourselves, have a voice.
This one is so important for the sisterhood!!!
I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have about the AWWP, or my personal campaign.
I hope to hear from you really soon
Yours Sincerely,
Sharnanigans x

Go Sharni!
Mia is quite lovely, I’m sure she’ll jump on board.
Nice video Sharni. I need to read up more about this AWWP as you’ve got ME inspired too. You are doing wonderful things, keep it up!
I’m not sure who Mia is… is that an Australian website person? But I am sure she can’t help but be inspired too by this Sharni! xx
Go Sharni! Your like a bull in a china shop – substantially more focused though! Mia is surely only human…I’m sure she’ll come to the party!
Love it, love it, love it. Shows a country girl in all her glory and lord knows we need people like you putting us out there. Go the country girls!
Hey Sharni – loved your video and am so inspired by you. I truly hope you can get this off the ground. It’s such a worthy cause. xo
You know how I feel about this project Sharni. I think you’re an amazing person for doing something for such a worthy cause.
I hope that Mia jumps on board, she has a voice that will reach thousands.
Ill be following this very closely.

Great cause Sharni and fabulous that you are supporting it in such an inspiring way. I am full of admiration for you and you have my pledge. I think it’s important for women writers who have the luxury of freedom to express themselves openly to support other women without the same opportunities. It goes without saying that Mia would not be able to express her opinions and the visitors to her blog would not be able to agree, disagree and comment with complete freedom if she and they were born into similar circumstances to those of the Afghan women. So if you are reading this Mia please support Sharni’s efforts to support the Afghan women- and spread the word to all your readers!
What an awesome video! You are a force of nature, Sharni! but the flies look awful. KEEP RUNNING!
