So, I just finished watching Julie & Julia (the movie inspired by the book that was inspired by the blog of Julie Powell who loved and honored Julia Child and blogged through creating 500+ recipes of her cookbook). And I’m paused for a moment to reflect on a particular scene that I completely related to. The moment Julia Child finds out her sister is pregnant. And with utter surprise, she suddenly bursts into tears with utter sorrow, saying she was truly happy for her. Ahh Yes, I’ve been there, more than once. That scene was so well done and it spoke to me.
And, this movie was quite inspiring! Two women on the verge of fame, with such simplicity in their lives, eager for a purpose. It was inspiring to see the joy Julia found in her life from the success of her cookbook and just as inspiring to see the joy Julie found in her life because of her blog and then of course, her book. I also find joy in writing this blog, eager for a purpose. And this has motivated me to finally finish my memoir and perhaps prove (to no one but myself) that I truly am a ‘writer’ that has actually completed something. Soon…
If you’re here from ICLW, welcome! Thanks for stopping by!
