While discussing about arts and writing two days back, my cousin recommended me to watch Julie and Julia . Today, surprisingly Netflix (which I happened to open after good 3 months) also showed Julie and Julia as the first recommendation! What more hints would a hopeless romantic like me want!
It is a story about Julie Powell who has just turned 30 and feels totally purposeless in her government administrative job. On a whim, she decides to experiment and write a blog post everyday for an year on Julia Child’s cooking techniques. Julia Child (Meryl Streep) has written a cook book while she was living in Paris with her diplomat husband. The movie shows in parallel the stories of two women separated by time and space.
What really sums up the story for me are the words of Julie - “Julia and I are connected across time and space, spiritually.”
So, learning # 3 - The movie today served as a reminder for me to be consistent in my daily creative and spiritual practices and not really worry about the outcome.
