A Reading Recommendation

Have you ever had that moment when you stop, look around, and say to yourself… “What the hell happened here?” Have you had that moment of clarity, that Aaa-haa idea that jumps up smacks you in the face? (Much like the following)




I didn’t even realize that I was having one of these hyper aware moments till I finish this book, Eat Pray Love. This book was an ode to all the regrets, the lost ambitions, and the boxes I keep fighting like hell to fit in. (Even when the depression of living in a box has added fifteen pounds to my ass so I can’t quite fit inside said box anymore.)
I’m young. I’m just starting. But in a lot of ways I’m much older, wiser, and honestly… sadder than I have any right to be at this point in life. This book spoke to me on that karmic level. Too that old soul that was giving good advice to adults when this body was just twelve small years old. By the time I was done reading, I wanted to start making lists of all the things I’m going to do and change. All the ways I’m going to experience life this time around, (before I wake up seventy and regretful) like bungee-jumping, learning Irish, or tattooing I “Heart” Mom on my right butt cheek. *Wink Wink*

This book was a spiritual journey not only for the writer, but for the reader. And I cannot recommend it more highly to those of you that find yourselves lost, stuck, and lonesome.

My Prayer for You: I hope you find joy in eating. I hope you find peace in praying. I hope you find unending faith in love.

By the way, the movie was pretty damn good too. :)
