Uplifting TV #SOLC22

 


It's the time of year that finds me exhausted.  Yes, I'm an avid reader (more on that another day), but some days you just need to sit on the couch, wrap up in a blanket and watch some uplifting TV.

My current show that never fails to lift my spirits is "Queer Eye" on Netflix.  This fabulous team arrives to help someone (or a group) -- who has usually put themselves on the back burner -- freshen up their look, learn to cook something delicious, get some life coaching and receive a beautiful new living space.

Each member of the Queer Eye team has a speciality, and I love how kindly they address and coach each person they work with.  They have hard conversations with participants but it's always with caring, respectful ways.

I've learned a lot about taking time for myself, looking for the best in others, and helping people know how much they are cared for.

(One favorite episode:  Season 6 - "A Night to Remember")

  1. Chris, thanks for the advice. It has been a lot of years since I watched an episode of "Queer Eye." Thanks for the reminder and the recommendation. We have Netflix this year for free from our cell phone service, so I appreciate having something specific to look for. Netflix is quite overwhelming--all the possibilities of movies and shows!

  2. We have Netflix & Hulu & a few more here (combining services with my grown daughters). SO many choices!
