I’m Julie, and here’s what happened that inspired this blog.
I am one of those super sensitive people who have “big feelings” compared to the average Julie. What happens is I’ll watch an excellent movie or read an exquisitely written book that I’ll think about for days after. Or I’ll have a riveting experience that brings me to tears because it verifies my belief that people are inherently good. The thing is — like my daughters always say, “Mom, you need some friends!”— I don’t have a bunch of like-minded friends willing to geek out over books, movies, documentaries, and life.
The spirit of this blog is you and me grabbing a cup of coffee with a slice of cake in an isolated corner of our favorite cafe. I start the chat with “So, here’s what happened in that movie … in that book … at the grocery store … during game night, etc.” And there’s no real goal other than to share an experience with you. Maybe it’ll spark more conversation, maybe you’ll read the book or watch the movie. Ideally, it will connect us in some way.
