A Perfect Ending Film Review

one lonely rainy night, okay that's a bit exaggerated, it wasn't actually raining, but it was indeed lonely. I happen to be going through Netflix and I saw a film Directed by Nicole Conn, titled A Perfect Ending Starring Barbara Niven and Jessica Clark. I was familiar with Barbara because I was definitely a lifetime groupie back in my middle school days, so I decided to give it a little looky look. Now at first I didn't understand what was going on because, first off it was about four a.m. and second because well no second, it was just really late, but soon I really got into the film and perked up and stated paying attention. The films revolves around Rebecca(Barbara Niven's character) a wealthy middle aged white woman who has a husband who doesn't pay much attention to her. She really just goes through life day by day with no real purpose. Most of her time is spent caring for her three children and husband,  leaving no time to take care of herself. Soon friends set up her with a high end call Girl named Paris (Clark's character) whom she is naturally reluctant to meet with initially, but later gives in and begins exploring a world of passion and lust. The pair of them develop a type of relationship that becomes healing to one another. Sort of like finding that person who becomes a mirror image of yourself, showing you that your imperfections are your best quality. Someone who forces you to embrace everything negative thing you have felt about yourself. Forcing you to have self-love. I can't say to much more without giving the film away, but I will say that watching this film opened my eyes so much. I was once considered a prude or I would say ignorant to other lifestyles because of pure lack of knowledge. After viewing this film it gave me a half mind for a moment to find a nice gal to explore life with. Although I am no quite going for that team, I am much more open minded and curious about other ways of being than my own and that is exactly what I hope to gain when watching a film. I hope to come out thinking and hungry for knowledge. Thank you Nicole, Barbara, Jessica and the rest of the cast for educating me and giving insight on a world bigger than me that continues to evolve each and every day.

Looky Looky, Here comes my Booky!

Sooo, As you know, I have been on a four year journey to complete my Grandma's bucket list. Although I haven't done so well with blogging every step of the way(life sort of took a seat on me) i have indeed kept records and journals on every moment that I have experienced! It both thrills and saddens me to say that my journey is almost up. That's right I have only Three  out of the 60 things left to do. I kept thinking about what I would do once the bucket list was complete. Should I go back to life's regularly scheduled program? ABSOLUTELY NOT! I wrote a book! I felt it was important to share with you my ups and downs, the failures and successes, the in and outs and all the in betweens that I wasn't able to blog! My hope is that I will be able to help others create a journey or find a purpose much like the one my Grandmother gave to me. Because of her, I have experienced life in a way most 23 year old people have not. I have lived outside of my comfort zone and taken a leap of faith in to a wonderful existence. It took her leaving this world and leaving behind many unanswered questions and one little list in my notebook, for me to see life for what it truly is, an Adventure. The most important message I hope to share is not to wait for something bad to happen before you do something good. I took my grandma dying for me to give back to someone and appreciate the positive things in this world. Here's a quick glance of some of the things you can look forward to! Happy Readings!
