Though I did write a personal essay about my trip to Greece and what I learned about myself. (No one has seen fit to accept it for publication yet, unfortunately!) When you find your list, write again and share!Kathy A.

You've made me ...Kathy, what a wonderful post! You've made me want to go dig out one of the Artist's Way books (not sure which one, could be Vein of Gold, could be the original TAW) and find the exercise where she asks that we list our favorite movies. Julia (we're on a first-name basis now, LOL) contends that those themes that come up are part of our particular Vein to be mined for the gold of our story/art. In other words, it might not matter if you don't always have the courage to act on those impulses; you might be meant instead to be writing about a woman who does!<br /><br />I found this fascinating, and I have to go search for my old list (I'm positive I could not at the time find a coherent, universal theme as you did so succinctly), or perhaps do the exercise all over again. I live with a film buff now, so surely some of the faves have changed...Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454557080455458675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930263311780001387.post-47869095958070228812010-03-31T17:00:21.479-04:002010-03-31T17:00:21.479-04:00Laure--I liked Chocolat a lot too.

I love the scene where the uptight town mayor goes crazy and eats all the chocolate in the display window (am I remembering that right?)!Kathy A.
