She did it. It took her nearly half her life, but Julia Child did it. She mastered the art of being herself.
What inspiration she is to WOOFers! We tell ourselves it's never too late, but do we really believe it? Do YOU really believe it?
Two days in a row I watched "Julie & Julia," and Meryl Streep's protrayal made me smile every minute. It reminded me of the truly remarkable woman Child was on so many levels. And how she thrived in spite of deep disappointments in life.
So, this morning I cooked up a little poem in her honor. (No, obviously I've not mastered the art of poetry! But perhaps Julia would allow for my effort!)
Julia Child, Julia Child
How you make us smile.
Even still, even now.
And Meryl did you proud!
In your kitchen on TV
How delicious you could be.
One forgets you started late
Learning to sauté.
Women near, women far
Behold, a cooking star...
With zest for lemon and for life.
Bon appétit, Ms Child!
