A couple of years ago, after another excruciating day of two weeks 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 if you haven't already, you must all 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.
