2,000 VIEWS!!!! Alright!
WOW!! My blog has had 2,000 page views! And I thought nobody was out there.
Sometimes I feel like Julie in the movie "Julie & Julia," the story of a young woman in New York obsessed with her mission to cook all 524 of Julia Child's recipes in 365 days. She starts a blog to chronicle her journey -- and soon faces the reality that she's blogging in outer space. After weeks of diligent journaling, finally....a response! But it's only her mother. Any giddy hopes of success she might have had are instantly dashed. Over the weeks her husband becomes increasingly frustrated by the manic devotion and attention she directs towards her quest. Oh boy, does that sound familiar or what?
The end of the story is that Julie actually succeeds. I like that part. I have always believed that one can achieve anything that one wants to achieve. Well....I've got to qualify that a bit. Know-how, talent, time, and energy are big determining factors. If you are lacking any of these ingredients, the journey is more challenging, more difficult. It is true, however, that what you get out of something is proportionally related to how much you put into something.
So what do I say about all of this? REVEL in each moment of the journey! Love what you do. Immerse yourself into the pleasure of pursuing your dream. Enjoy sharing your passion with the world. The world might be listening and watching after all.
You just never know.....
