This year's DefineYourself.ca web t.v. production has been a journey. Carefully selecting women, taking everything into consideration. Not to create a contrived outcome but to truly tell this story in the most honest, authentic way possible. To bring women together who would not necessarily relate or even get along. To take chances and risks with the hope that the whole story would come out. To hope that these women would open themselves up to the process and allow themselves to share their inner most feelings-- vulnerabilities, insecurities, fears and passion. This seasons production has been subtle, somber, inspiring, hilarious and surprising. It has taken twists and turns that none of us would have anticipated. And, it's not yet over.
I have been moved by this season. I am excited because I know that when women watch the first webisode they won't be able to stop watching. This season has a way of really drawing you in. I see some of myself in all of these women. Depending on the day, I relate to and enjoy each of these women differently. But mostly I am grateful to each of these women for opening themselves to this process-- not feeling compelled to present anything other than the plain truth (no matter how un-glamourous that can sometimes be) and in so doing, helping so many women to connect and feel a sense of belonging and 'I am not alone'.
You don't want to miss it. Take my word for it. Be sure to sign up to receive webisode e-lerts for the launch of Season 3 starting early September.
