Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks

I am counting the days until the movie Julie/Julia is in theatres. I read The Julie Julia Project a few years ago after hearing the author Julie Powell at a book reading. I was so inspired by the idea of her book....you are never too old to re-start your life, pick up a new hobby, or try something different. I think that is pretty much a great motto for life. I was also inspired by Julie. She was working as a temporary secretary in NYC (which I have done MANY times) and was feeling tired and bored and you know what she did...she came up with an idea, came up with a plan and immersed herself in it for an entire year. She cooked her way through all of Julia Child's recipes and had about a million adventures doing it. Not only that, but it landed her an amazing book deal, and a movie. There you go. Get off your butts people and be inspired to do something new. That's it, I am learning to play the guitar, take swimming lessons....or signing-up for a marathon. Maybe I will just sign-up for a dance class, that's a good start. Interested in learning more about her? Below is a great article from the New York Times.
