That could be a good little blog.  I've subscribed to the RSS so I can keep tabs on it.

Here is the RSS feed if anybody else is interested (it's slightly hidden on the webpage):

Stumbled across this blog the other day. She has some great stuff to say and is a good spokesperson for naturism. Will keep an eye on this blog.

Thanks for the link. Nice to see women standing up for the wholesomeness of social nudity.

Same thing here.

I came across that article today when someone posted on my fb account.

It is. And it's great that she's receiving a positive feedback too.

I'll be learning a lot of positive things from her.

Looks like she is closing down the blog. (http://samanthagilmour.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/problems-are-forcing-me-to-close-blog-permanently/)  That is a shame it couldn't work out.

Problems Are Forcing Me to Close Blog Permanently
Jan2

I was informed that my blog has created a conflict of interest with the dance studio that I teach ballet and piano to children. I was asked to either change the name or take it down. I decided to avoid any further embarrassment to just take the whole thing down (and I was warned about this the second day I posted blogs).

I’m sorry, but teaching children is something is very important to me and I’ve decided that my position with children is more important than this blog. Not to mention the blog has created an undesirable person who has made his presence to me that has scared and worried me.

In addition to this, my mother has closed her blog to avoid any further problems for me. Again, I am so sorry for leaving because I enjoyed writing on the subject and enjoyed being able to write and get a response to it.

All of the comments, emails and chats have been wonderful and I’ve met some amazing people and I am thankful for some of my new friends. I apologize deeply and hope you understand my position.

Thank you so much for all of your help, encouragement, kind words and friendships.

Sam :(

IT's too bad.  I liked her work.  Hopefully she will start up again under an alias.  Too bad so many of us (including me) are uncomfortable putting our real names out there.

I just saw that. Hopefully she can get her personal stuff squared away and bring it back some day. It's a shame being an advocate of not being ashamed of your natural state and having a truly positive message makes someone a target of some bullshit moral panic if they happen to work with kids.

I hear you. She had great insight and it would be great to have her back.

I am saddened.  If she lived and worked in Europe, this would not be an issue at all of course.  We will, as I have said before. catch up in the year 2143. 


She joined us last week and we welcomed her thru pms as some of us staffers saw that. Dafty brought her in.  She had not made an intro yet, and somehow, I doubt she will.   :4245

Too sad! It was one of the few blogs I read. If you read this, Sam, maybe you could keep on writing here on IYNO?

I agree with monthem, i enjoyed your blog on wordpress, if you see this there are a lot of people who would like you to keep writing.

Wow. Heaven forbid that a child will see a penis or a breast. That's really stupid that she received complaints about her blog, since these parents seem to be implying that naturism is a sign of moral depravity. I'm sure they wouldn't have complained if she had been a gun aficionado instead.
