I am an unabashed Harry Potter Geek. I have read the books over and over, went to the midnight premiere of each movie and have seen the movies every time I pass them on the television. The cast is made up of a seemingly terrific group of well-adjusted kids and some of the luminaries of British stage and screen. So when Alan Rickman passed away last week at the age of 69, I was truly sad. The tributes, from all of those who had worked with him over the years were so poignant. I found myself thinking "I would have loved to have met him."
This got me thinking about all of the people that I wish I could sit down and have a conversation with. Yesterday being Martin Luther King Jr day, I would love to have a sit down with him and see what he thinks of the world we live in today and how much he feels we have progressed- or- regressed- in the years since his passing. I've heard one version of this called the "Ultimate Dinner Party." I've heard it done with just those that are still living, only those that are no longer with us, famous people, not-famous people and any combination. I believe the guideline is 5-10 guests so you can spend time with each.
So I think I will do a bit of both in my journal. I will do three dinner parties: only live and famous guests, only those who have passed and a "famous only to me" with a combination of both. Once my lists are made, I will journal why I want these particular guests- and see what I learn about myself in the process.
I challenge you to do the same. You don't need to post it- just do it. See what you learn about you!
Have a great week.
