After another excruciating
day as juror in a Federal case, I decided to escape the Miami heat and reality
for a couple of hours to view Julie & Julia. It was absolutely delightful and you
must all go see it immediately!! I
ate popcorn drenched in butter and delighted in how writing, blogging and food
all melded into a wonderful tale.
The most poignant detail of the film was about the depth of friendship
that exists in a true marriage.
How challenges, triumphs and the constant support mates offer each other
defines who we ultimately are. In
both tales, the featured heroines had great men behind them nudging them on and
enjoying their accomplishments.
The underlying element that
should move and compel all of you is to follow your passion in life. Writing, eating, cooking or competing
to be the best do whatever it takes.
Find what that fire in your belly is and get on with it!! The message is clear, honest and
truthful showing how it really isn’t that easy. There is a lot of heartbreak in the process. Then the rewards are plentiful…
So
what is my point tonight? Follow
your heart! “Do you,” as Russell
Simmons says. See this movie and
take some courage pills before you run out of time. Don’t let the opportunity to shine pass you by.
