Dena,
Thanks for writing. I summarized your thoughts to my friend Richard, who looked at me and said, “Wasn’t she being tongue-in-cheek?”
“No,” I said. The next day I shared your feelings with my friend Colleen, who gave me a similar look and said, “She was kidding, right?”
“No,” I replied.
The good thing here is that we’re being exposed to each others’ differing views.

I completely disagree with you (and I happen to live in Portland). Who wouldn’t want to be like the SATC girls?! They have fabulous, exciting lives. And consumption definitely leads to happiness!! Everbody has different persepectives and life experiences, but for some, including me, I would trade gladly move to NYC to live like Carrie and Co.

I’ve never watched SATC but I do know that people with all the trappings of material success are often much less contented and in tune with the world around them than people who have less. Green Girls definitely do better. Edinburgh is quite a green place too.

what a wonderful post and a great message!
The SATC women are glittering, but this is a fast-food. The conncetion to the earth is indeed important and is acutally the basis of a woman (Mother-earth principle).
thank you for this statement!
