the hills are alive...with feasts

"what characters in novels or movies have you most identified with through the years?" without a doubt, i'd have to say maria in "the sound of music" (childhood) and babette in "babette's feast" (adulthood). both are unfettered, passionate beauty seekers who are sometimes out of place or misunderstood. both find themselves in places that don't quite fit (a nunnery and washed up on the shores of a very ascetic community). they both make intentional choices to make the best of every situation and impact their environments for the good. just this realization gives me courage to continue to write my own story and to be who i am intended to be: a passionate beauty seeker who shares that joy with others. what characters do you most identify with and how can that aid your sense of calling?
