Eat, Pray, Love



Hey everybody. Its Reggie. The title of the book I just finished. Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert Is great! It boasts a woman search for everything as she travels across Italy, India and Indonesia. Elizabeth Gilbert in her early thirties had everything you would expect in this modern era. successful career traveling the world, husband, and a beautiful home with a country setting. but instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she felt consumed by panic and confusion. It is the story how she left behind these outward markings, and of what she found in their place. This book has some serious stuff in it for you. For me all the bells and whistles went off. That's just what I'm trying to do, find myself. seeking purpose! This book is a great way to begin the process of self actualization. A way to get your feet wet without being a hard to understand self help text. I highly recommend this as a way to break into spirituality. It is filled with many "Ah Ha" moments. I was compelled to pick it up and I couldn't put it down. This was surly the fasted and most enjoyable read to date. As I read the text discovering nuggets of knowledge in between the written lines. Affirmations that I seen in Gilbert's work. I wrote these jewels of inspiration on post-it notes and hung them were I could read. This novel for me was another step to becoming closer to transcendence.

Peace,
Reggie
