Overcoming difficult obstacles and being rewarded for it is reaffirming. In Cinderella, through no fault of her own, she is put in difficult circumstances and deals with it the best she can with a positive attitude. For that, she is rewarded with one night to shine which changes her life. Those who have suppressed and mistreated her Patricia B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05204020525523938796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-56256669635286517692019-02-28T11:20:25.547-05:002019-02-28T11:20:25.547-05:00Anna...I have not seen it but will see if it is av...Anna...I have not seen it but will see if it is available on Prime or NetFlix!

I was talking about the beautiful book of Cinderella I had as a toddler.

Same for me with the Met in New York. I've learned over the years that I'm better off getting my head around a small section than getting dizzy trying to do all the famous bits in one go.

I think I'm a romance writer now, at least partly because I loved those stories so much.

I think one of the reasons I love it is that I had a really beautiful edition when I was a toddler and the costumes were just magnificent (from memory, I think it was a famous Italian artist who used real costumes as the basis).
