The story of my blog

Today I want to tell you the story

of how my blog was born

Do you remember the precise moment

you decided

to start a blog?

I do

I was in a dark room

A cinema

I was watching

Julie & Julia

I think it's the only time

I enjoyed the movie

more than the book

For those who still haven't seen this

lovely movie

well, you should

Meryl Streep is great

There's much

cooking

romance

witty dialogues

funny scenes

and lot of Paris

This is the true story of

Julie Powell

a bored and unsatisfied employee

who wants to be a writer

She opens a blog

The Julie/Julia Project

536 recipes/365 days

Her blog is a sudden success

she leaves her job and becomes

a writer

What she always wanted to be

I was sitting in my chair

and thinking

"what the hell is a blog?"

then

"Could I do it?"

I thought that a blog was a nice thing

to start a new life

{after I understood what the hell it was}

I didn't know where it could lead me

I still don't know

But since I opened it

many things have happened

unexpected

This blog soon became my personal adventure

A new journey to meet the most importan person of my life

ME

Sometimes I've lived my passions with guilt

I'm a pragmatic girl

I faced many hard moments in my life and

had to focus on the real things

Dreaming was a sort of waste of time

But I've learned -against myself

we can't deny our real nature for much long

If you are  a creative person or an artist

you remain that person

No matter how much you struggle to be a different one

This is you

There's nothing wrong or bad in that

Julia Child and Julie Powell

believed in themselves

They found their way

And never regretted

Now I can see for myself

many possibilities

I have faith

Where all this will lead me?

I don't know

This is the most interesting part.

Thanks to all of you  who

joined this exciting journey
