I WANT TO LIVE IN SERENITY...

 Who else watches the Netflix series, "Sweet Magnolias"? If you are not familiar with the show, it is centered around three women who live in a small, fictional southern town called Serenity.  These women have been best friends since high school, have maintained the relationships and have been each other's support through all of their adult ups and downs. They are as close as any sisters could be. They share everything with one another, they don't judge, they fight, they love, they experience what truly happens in relationships--it's not sugar coated but for me, it makes me long for those types of relationships in my life. I somewhat had that with one of my sisters who has passed away but with my other sister. Yes, I love her and we get along but I wouldn't necessarily call us close. But I digress...that is not what this blog is about.

I want to live in Serenity. I mean that I want to live in that town of Serenity or one just like it and I want to live in a state of serenity. Where race and the color of one's skin is not an issue. Where it isn't even noticed. Where everyone is truly color blind!

Where people are neighborly. Where you are among people who care about you. Where everyone does know your name but doesn't necessarily know all of your business. Yes, every town has at least one "busy-body" or town gossip who tries to rile things up and Serenity is no different. 

Is this really too much to ask? For people to treat people they way they want to be treated? I want the world to feel like a good place, a friendly place. I want to care more about people and they about me. I want to find that inner peace and harmony that few things can shake. I want to become more aware of what is important in life. I want to become less goal oriented. I want the world to slow down and enjoy every moment since once it's gone, it's gone and we shall never pass that way again. 

My wish is that we all want to live in Serenity--in a state of serenity and perhaps encourage others to want to live there too.

That Girl

 As a little girl of about 7 years old, I started watching the TV series "That Girl" and I cannot believe the impact that it had on me growing up! I grew up wanting to be Ann Marie in the sense that I wanted to grow up and be on my own,  be independent, move away from my parents, have my own apartment with a devoted boyfriend. So for the past few days I've been binge watching the t v series "That Girl". Prior to my current binging, I have only watched a few episodes as an adult  so this the first time I'm watching this series again in it's entirety through an adult's eyes versus a child's eyes. One of the comments and criticisms I have heard and  read often about the show is about how Ann Marie she lived in a nice apartment in Manhattan, had nice clothes and how she could afford that? Well this is something I'd never noticed and again until I was watching as an adult but during the first or a second episode when she was leaving her parent...
