Julie/ Julia Project
I have been reading this book this week, quite different than I expected it to be. It is about a lost 29 year woman (who has not gone through that if they have found their 29th year, Geez) who does not know whether or not to have kids, follow a career, or what the hell she is doing in her life. I have definitely been there, as have all my friends. It was particularly enticing to me since I have a blogging project of my own here, one I have ignored for sometime. Julie in the book decides she will be making every recipe out of Julia Childs, Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Then she will blog about her experiences with it. While this experiment is interesting in its failures and successes, I found that her self development was where this book really shined. Maybe we all should take on something like this to get to know ourselves. Why not? What are we doing? What have we done that makes no sense to anyone, but ourselves?
I am searching for a project now…. I will get back to you when I find it…..
Until then, I recommend this book. It is certainly not the most spell binding book I have ever read, but the message is, get to know who you are by taking on something that you will have as many failures as successes, and maybe, just maybe, be a better human for it.
My heart is with you on your journey,
Lizzy
