How can it be the holidays already? I've been reminiscing with friends from high school lately who live in OR and IL and we've figured out that as you get older, time goes so much faster than it did when we were in our teens. I'm very lucky to have these women in my life and it's hard to believe we've known each other for 27 years! They sat through every dance show and musical I was in with big smiles and applause, and met me with open arms and flowers when the curtain went down.
Today, they are a poet, a teacher, wife, friend, and the proud moms of amazing 8 to 12-year-olds starting on the path of "pre-teen" fun. After seeing them and their kids recently, I knew exactly what to send them for Christmas this year. Both are receiving "The Talk.." and "Goddess Menses..." DVDs from YPC. I gave them the scoop on these award winning films written by and for teens, and told them to preview both with their husbands before watching with their kids and to take a look through the discussion guides. I'm not a mom so it's next to impossible for me to know what topics are appropriate for what age groups! But I know that even if they hold onto them for a year or two, both of them will get a complete kick out of the humor, songs and creative ways these films educate young people on this time in their life.
I hope to have their feedback/comments sometime in January for my next posting. And since they both have boys, the will be getting "The Boy Show" when it comes out next month. Who knew "Turn Your Head and Cough" could be such a catchy tune!!!
Happy Holidays everyone,
