BOOK CLUB...time to write the next chapter in your life

They say that the 30's are the new 20's, and the 40's the new 30's, but what happened when you reach the 60's and only seems like you are getting to the end of your life? Well seems like it's time to break up bad habits and stop labeling life by numbers but by experiences.  Let's open our minds and realize that no one is too old until it is, meaning they actually seem forced to stop their usual because their bodies and mind are just not responding. But in the mean time, life is still full of possibilities for everybody. Every time will be different as we are supposed to evolve, but that doesn't mean we are no longer able to be excited or  feel excitement about something, or fall in love, or try new things. Of course by then we'll belong to the old school side of  the spectrum but so will be an entire generation that is willing to laugh and feel alive just like they did back when they were young and full of dreams and energy. Being old is more a state of mind than a number and no matter what is your current age you can be already an old soul or still keeping your inner child alive to embrace life with it's twists and opportunities, because life doesn't discriminate by age or any other label. It works just the same way for everybody and you can still look at the mirror and find a new way to feel sexy and pretty, or you can have fun with your friends just like teenagers do because is all about what you doing rather than the timing to do it. Never is too late to start a new relationship or end a bad one. To go back to the things you used to like and feel passionate about or revise the dreams and goals that were left somewhere to pursue obligations and responsibilities.

"BooK Club" (2018) is a new comedy targeting anyone around senior age, that for some reason feels trapped in this sense of getting old and close to the end. But not for our lovely four leading ladies, a group of friends that gets together once a month to comment regarding the book they choose to read over the past month and catch up on gossips and life. They have been friends for a while already and they know each other pretty well to a point where they accept all of them the way they are, specially after some have been through a lot.

All this orchestrate by Vivian, the alpha of the group, a successful woman, that has built a fortune by owning a prestigious Hotel but sacrificing a life shared with someone at her side. Mostly  because she's afraid of commitment and being hurt, reason why long time ago she declined her long time fiancee proposal and since then been just fooling around with men, hooking up with no strings that satisfied her needs and let her keep that status of power and control but is it worth it to spend a whole life of achievements and getting away with what you want and not being able to share it with someone that cares about you? Would that change the whole meaning of success? Or why are we so scared to fall in love and put our hearts out the there, specially when there is someone willing to take a leap of faith with you, accepting and loving every inch of yourself?

As for example, Carol, a woman that seemed as she achieved everything she want it, owning her own restaurant and marrying the man of her dreams, but after getting caught in this erotic novel, she will soon realize how lost her marriage is after 35 years together. She loves her husband and he loves her back but there is something that is dead, no more sparks, no more sex, and she looks great for a woman of her age, so she can't but wonder what is missing, why her husband seems to  be so far when is right there. But as she navigates the dark waters of Christian Grey, she will try to turn her sex life on but relationships are a two way street and not always everything is about you and what is missing comes from the other side and we need to learn how to deal with our partners problems instead of trying to make them ours or solve things our way when is more about letting them be and take control but communication is key and that is the sexiest part of any relationship, when you are able to connect and communicate with someone in deeper levels that will turn anyone on and sparks and fireworks will happen but obviously after a long time with the same person things will cool down and a re connection will be needed if both sides are willing to so it's just matter of going back to the basics and start all over again, finding who they are now and why they still love each other because never is too late to go back to what you used to like the most of you and others and no matter where in life you are at now never is too late to feel young and alive again by going back to what makes you happy the most.
