Thoughts....

My greatest fear is not peering into the unknown, for the future holds a history book yet to be written. Rather, my fear is that I will be left at a threshold and reflect upon a past that leaves me with regrets and feeling unfulfilled with a powerless desire to have done more

Movie Review-----Julie & Julia

I'm constantly watching movies.

I love the movie theater experience...the smell of freshly popped popcorn (I can't resist it), sweet candy, and soda. I love sitting in a dark theater and being transported to another place, time, or location. I admire the talent actors have and the emotions they can illicit through thier performance.

So, in honor of my love of movie going and because I see so many new movies I am going to write about them (among other things) :)

Julie & Julia
 Meryl Streep is Julia Childs and Amy Adams is Julie Powell in Nora Ephrons adaptation of two memoirs: Powell's Julie & Julia and Julia Child's My Life in France. (Which I totally want to read now, along with Mastering the Art of French Cooking)

'Julie & Julia' intertwines the lives of the two women who, though seperated by time and space, are both at loose ends....until they discover with the right combination of passion, fearlessness, and butter, anything is possible.

I truly enjoyed this movie! I think you have to be a woman to thoroughly appreciate its message and appreciate the connection Julie makes with Julia across generations. The message of Julia's life overall is that there are no limits to what you can accomplish as a woman at any age. I feel so inspired by that. The story of Julie's life is equally inspiring. Stuck in a dead end job she hates with friends she doesn't quite fit in with she still finds something to inspire her and encourage her. I find this equally inspiring.

Maybe it's cause I am at a point in my life where I want to be inspired or I want to inspire others and I just don't know how.

I used to write. A lot. All the time. Writing was my solace. My guidance.

I don't write anymore.

Things are more muddled these days.

I'm very happy personally, but not so much professionally. I recently graduated with my Bachelor's and am working at a bank. I love the people I work with! Not so much the work/customers. I want to do more. Lots more.

I am engaged. Never thought I'd be engaged and planning a wedding at 23. Marriage scares me.....

Law school has been put on the back burner. Don't ask me why. I can't tell you. I could easily get in a few decent places, I'm just not feeling it right now. Or is it exactly what I am feeling? See what I mean about things being muddled....

Started a garden last year. Doing much better growing stuff this year. Hopefully we are able to can some beans, peppers, make some strawberry jam and whatever we can do with tomatoes. Trying to decrease that carbon footprint thing.

Just got back from Vegas. 3rd time's a charm :)
