Finding Your Passion

December 26, 2009

I started writing tihs right after watching Julie and Julia and as it so happens, movies move me emotionally into action. The movie from my point of view was more about entrepreneurship and doing what you love than it was about food or the characters themselves. The main thread tying film together is the deep connection with the topic they chose to learn about . Julie and Julia were driven to a something they’ve never really explored before.

Where do you sleep at night?

December 13, 2009

When you wake up in the morning, you look around and you instinctively know that you have a roof over your head, a toothbrush, soap and clean clothes to wear. You are likely to have a mirror in your bathroom so that you can put yourself together before facing the world. Before you go deep into the daily struggle of keep ing up with the rat race, you’ve had the chance to boot up your laptop, take a shower and drink a strong cup of exotic coffee or stop by Starbucks or Pette’s for a non-fat latte. That is the morning routine at its finest.
