I have to admit…

I like the show “Being Erica”. A lot. I know. A show from CBC. With some fresh faces and an edge to it. I was surprised as well!

The show revolves around this 30-something woman that’s trying to figure out her life when she gets taken into a new world that makes her travel back in time to figure out her past mistakes/regrets. It’s a bit cheesy and righteous at times but it’s well acted and it doesn’t hurt that the main character is a hottie. And don’t worry ladies, there are some good looking men for you too…

Erica goes to see her unorthodox therapist every episode to relive some moments she’d probably like to get back. And somehow after going back in time, she learns the lesson in almost 25 minutes everytime! It’s still entertaining and a different premise for a show. That’s all I ask for really these days…

I can relate to some of the stuff she goes through. It must be fact that we’re both in our early 30’s and still not settled down enough for some people’s liking. Do I want a 9-t0-5 gig because most people think that’s what success looks like? I’m actually loving my set-up these days, even if I would like to be a bit busier and maybe be able to suit up a bit more often…

The show makes me think of what I would put on my list of regrets if I had the chance for some “do over’s”. I’m quite happy with the way things turned out but it doesn’t hurt to take a minute to just sit back and reflect on what situations teach us, from time to time

Happy Family Day to everyone. I hope you get to spend some time with your loved ones. My brother’s a bit far these days but we will email/call and I will make sure to give my Mom a big hug. I know it sounds cheesy but I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my family. They’re great supporters and they have this uncanny ability to keep me humble. A perfect combination!

Enjoy folks,
Eric
