Slogans and Acronyms have been used in programs for many years. They are simple and effective tools that help us when we are in a challenging situation or ruminating on a problem. These often quirky sayings are sometimes the quick shot in the arm we need to regain our balance and stay on track in our own recovery. I hope that you will take the time to make a list of your top sayings and slogans...you may find yourself turning to them more often than think!
**I also inadvertently used an alliteration instead of a acronym in my number 5 acronym spot...sorry.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
