EAT , PRAY , LOVE

Some weeks ago, I wrote on my right column (the one that people don't really read...) that I recommended this book but since I now finished it, I decided to make a dedicated post to that experience.
Not that it is any literary supremacy but for the simplicity, funny and heartbreaking way the author writes, which puts you as the main character.
It is so easy to put yourself on her shoes and no matter what, you are driven to stop for some minutes and analyse your own life.
She is brave, intelligent, enthusiast and strongly in search of her own identity and soul.

No matter how much you have achieved, there are moments when you just want to fill yourself with the power and the courage to put your life in stand-by and for one year , one single year , do anything that you have been postponing for years , anything that you just want to do for no reason, a time for you away from anything that might distract you from finding who you really are. 

I could not stop myself from thinking, how many of us would like to make this, just for one moment in a whole life to be able to stop with no judgements.

I guess that those who red it cannot be indiferent to the situations and moments she  faced on her journey to meet her own God.

Her trip is fullfilled with mistic dreams, visions and dialogues between her and her mind.

This best seller is the real story of Elizabeth Gilbert , which after a nasty divorce, decide to take one year to do things she always dreamed but never had the chance to achieve.

She decide to make a journey through the pleasures of the food in Italy without any feeling of self conscience about the weight she would later put on (and regret...), she then gave herself to the life in a ashram in India in search of the peace of mind so much dreamed about and finally the encounter of love in Indonesia.

This is a book writen by a woman for women and it is much more than a simple story , it is a notice to all of us - Search for your dreams.

One thing I took from this book:

You rather live your own destiny in a unperfect way than someone else life in a perfect way.
