Checking out the past

For the last few days I have been watching the Netflix series, When Calls the Heart. It takes place in the early 1900s in a coal mining town in Western Canada. I am really enjoying the series so far.

It has not only educated me about what life was like back in those days in old west towns, but I have learned a lot about relationships in general. Lies can not only destroy relationships, but entire communities. The rich get rich and the poor get poorer is not just a saying. It can be true when dishonest people are in charge.

The other thing that is made abundantly clear in this series is how important communication is. Many episodes have ended with the characters not talking, which has led to miscommunication and hurt feelings. Sharing honest feelings is the only way to nurture affairs of the heart.

The creator of this series did a wonderful job of re-creating how life was in the old west and I am thoroughly enjoying watching the episodes.
