I just finished reading the # 1 New York Times Best Seller, "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert. It follows Gilbert as she ventures to Italy to enjoy all the pleasures the Italians know how to indulge in. Then off to India to pray and finally to Indonesia where...well I'll let you figure that one out on your own. This book is the epitome of good travel writing and a must read...
Here's just a taste of some of the inspirational stuff Gilbert has to say:
"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."
Also I just found out that Julia Roberts is to "Eat, Pray and Love" for us all to see in theaters in 2011
