Every time I watch the movie Julia & Julia, the story of two Julia's. Julia Child & Julia Powell. Two women in search of their purpose. I realize that I too am in search of something. There is a line in the movie, where Julie Child is seeking to fill her life with something meaningful. At a time when women didn't work outside the home. I remember the laughter, when Julia's husband asked her what she likes to do. She said "I love to eat!" I am told that many people discover their purpose in the things they are most passionate about.
With that said, I am passionate about journaling. I don't know if that classifies me as a writer. Yet, I have been writing on the pages of my journal for over 30 years. My journaling became conversation between me and God. He is truly my passion. He loves me with an everlasting love and I cannot wait to come into his presence every morning. The earlier the better, which is ironic in itself since I have a reputation of not being a morning person.
I have a confession, I have been pondering blogging for quite sometime. The difference between blogging and journaling is that one is public and the other very private. I wasn't certain I was ready to be so transparent, to allow "unknown" persons into some very private thoughts, revelations and conversations. Yet, I have been the recipient of the sharing of others. This movie alone motivated me to action. Perhaps the things I share in this BLOG will do the same for someone.
With that said...TODAY IS DAY ONE OF MY COMMITMENT TO A PUBLIC BLOG SPOT.
