What I'm reading..

I am currently in the middle of/obsessed with Eat, Pray, Love!! I have seen the previews for the movie the past few weeks and have always heard of this book, so I decided to give it a whirl. Honestly, it is a fabulous book!! I can't believe I have waited this long to read it. It is about a woman (Liz) whose life falls apart (divorce, losing money) and she goes on a one year spiritual and emotional well-being journey across the world.

Oh, to have the money to do this!!! I would go in a heartbeat. Not that my life is falling apart, or anything. It is actually quite the opposite! :) (More on that later..) I would love to travel to Italy and learn Italian like Liz does in the book. Not to mention, the FOOD! Every time I pick up this book and start reading, I get so hungry!! She is always eating something that sounds soo yummy!!!

Here is a short excerpt from Eat, Pray, Love:


"Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it." 
— Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia)


I definitely recommend this book!!! Hopefully the movie will not disappoint!!
