These Feet Were Made for Walking
These feet were made for walking and a new adventure and journey begins everyday.
While many think that creativity and expression and desire for success are the privilege of the young, there is nothing further from the truth. For the writer, her work is like fine wine it only improves with age.
There are so many role models for us to look to as far as the success of the older person creating a new and exciting career. Julia Child was in her fifties when she did her first television show which led to the Art of French Cooking. Julia was born on this day in 1912 and died just a few days shy of her 92nd birthday in 2004. She was a creative in the kitchen, at the keyboard and in her life.
Child’s presence in the media was always simply sophisticated. She created images of the American woman through out the various stages of her life and she inspired the transformation of the American palate when she introduced us to fine wines, asparagus with hollandaise sauce, and the realization that life was to be lived with passion.
Going for the gusto is always an option! I am excited that at age 61 I am also entering a new phase of my life and walking these little feet into the future with anticipation of the new adventures that await me. The reason that I can do this is because when opportunity knocks I open the door, but also because I have continued through out my life to be willing to take risks that were sometimes not particularly age appropriate in terms of what society expected. Life has unfolded in many magical ways but I have planted the seeds along the way like Johnny Appleseed and now I am reaping a wonderful harvest of delight.
I will be gone until maybe next week and shall miss you all. So until then, Bon Appetite!
