When the television series Reba came out in 2001, I was either too busy or too tired to watch it. I had five kids - ages one to six. All I wanted to do in the evenings was to get these kids in bed! I wasn't interested in watching a tv show about someone with more problems than me!
But this year, while having Sciatica for several weeks, I started watching the series on the Lifetime Channel. And, although the theme is definitely for adults, I really liked it. If you want to know more about the show, you can look it up on google.
Now, I am not a country music fan, but there are some people involved in the country music profession that I really admire and like. Reba is one of them. And I have been curious about what would make her go into acting in a show like this one. I still can't find the exact answer I'm looking for about that, but I did read a book she wrote before she had the show. It's called Comfort From a Country Quilt.
Reba tells about her family, her travels and her experiences with life. She talks about losing her band members in a horrific crash, and I don't know if I ever heard of that happening.
I think the most important things I got from the book was that we should live each day to the fullest and to live your life with passion. She is just a girl from an ordinary place living an extraordinary life doing what she loves... singing. We all have the capability to live an extraordinary life. It depends on what you do with what you've got.
I don't think that reading the book will cause me to start listening to country music, but it does let me get to know her a little bit better.
