Just looking at the title of my blog. I've come a long way from my beginnings of Julia. No longer am I waiting for something to happen but I am making it happen.
I understand why I started the 'Nothing' theory. My head was so full of traffic, I found it in some way crippling. It is a lot of hard work trying to sort out what noise to listen to and what noise to ignore. However it is also a lot of work to deal with watching it all go by and waiting for something to happen.
Julia is still a part of it all. If it wasn't for that wonderful movie (Julia and Julia) and the conviction of the character doing something about how she felt with her writing and starting investing in her passion (writing, then cooking), she would have missed her chance to make a difference to herself and to what she loved doing. She would have missed what made her heart sing. Julia would have also missed finding out something remarkable about herself. I want to be remarkable. To me, then to my family and my daughters. Because I want them to know they also can be remarkable.
So where does this leave me and my theory and what started it all. Well I am changing the 'Nothing' theory to 'Something' theory. No one ever accomplished anything by doing nothing. Look at people like Oprah. Bet she never said to herself, 'I am just gonna wait till something happens, so I am going to do nothing for now'. I no longer want to wait! I am sick of waiting my turn! I will aspire to do that bucket list and go for what my heart sings.
On that note, I am off to do 'something' and I am on my way to Sydney!
