Eat Pray Love

We've all had a moment where we eat from sorrow, happiness, depression, etc., you name it. There have been moments where you come to a crossroads, and all you can do is pray about it. Sometimes, after all is said and done, all you can do is love. Julia Roberts does an excellent job portraying Elizabeth Gilbert, in the movie based on Gilbert's memoir Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia. Gilbert hits an all time low in her life: realizing that she is not getting what she wants out of life, personally or professionally. Overseas on a literary assignment, she visits a medicine man, who makes predictions about her life. Once she comes back home, she is unable to get his prophecies out of her mind. She decides to get a divorce, and then goes away for year, searching for the zeal for life that she seems to have lost. She spent four months in Italy, eating and enjoying life (Eat). She spent four months in India, finding her spirituality (Pray). She ended the year in Bali, Indonesia, looking for "balance" of the two and came upon someone who kept her interest (Love). Although I did not read the book prior to viewing the movie, I totally enjoyed it. There were times when I believed that the word Cry should have been added to the title, because I definitely did my share of crying also. As Julia goes through Elizabeth's journey, you will find yourself going through a journey also. A wonderful journey of self-discovery. I believe that if you have read the book already, you may be alright with waiting until it comes out on DVD. If you haven't I definitely say.........
