Attention Ladies

I was talking to my roommate about a book that I had seen everywhere. I knew it was destiny for me to read it. I bought the book on a trip to KMart with my other roommate when we had nothing to do one day after class. I was excited to read it, but of course, being a student, took over my life. I finally had the time to crack it open today after I successfully completed 2 of 4 finals.



Last week, I went to see SEX AND THE CITY 2 with a couple of my ladies and guess what preview showed up on the screen? EAT, PRAY, LOVE with JULIA ROBERTS! So, of course I immediately jumped on the chance to read the book and what better way to start my traditional "Summer of Reading" than a feel good book about self-discovery.

I read the first section of the book about Italy and fell in love. Now I want to personally experience what Elizabeth Gilbert did. All of the descriptions of the food made me want to indulge completely and numbingly into great Italian creations and not have to worry about the consequences of my waist band.

To Elizabeth Gilbert, thank you for sharing your story because I feel like now I can fully share mine with no remorse. There are things about me that need to change and through your work, I can attack it in my own way. While I don't have money to spend a year in 3 different places, I can take the time to remove myself from the world and focus on me.

Ladies, I suggest every woman read this book. It's a great read but also leads to discovery of yourself.
