Inspired by Eat, Pray, Love

I’m excited that the book Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert has been adapted into a movie. And that Julia Roberts is playing Elizabeth. The movie is released on August 13.

I really enjoyed the book, as the author fulfills dreams she had only ever imagined. Things that she had thought she would “love to do…someday.” And enjoys (nearly) every minute of it. Especially the food aprt in Italy.

My husband told me that her story (based on what he has seen of the previews) reminds him of one of my friends, who recently packed up and went to India for a few months to complete a yoga instructor’s course and to travel. And she does. In many ways. Except, she was not jilted by an unfaithful husband…but by other circumstances.

She had the courage to go. I know that I find myself wondering if I would have that courage. Have that audacity. Have that spontaneity. And to be totally honest, I don’t think that I would right now. Not at this point in my life. At another juncture, perhaps. But, you never know. It could still happen. But probably to other foreign locales.

May you be inspired by Eat, Pray, Love.
