Tonight I watched a DVD while trying to get Dinner out, Dishes washed and our younger boys into bed. It was not the ideal way to watch the DVD Eat Pray Love but I have wanted to watch it for so long…and yet I also did not want to watch it.
Eat Pray Love Book
I have read the book. It took me only two days to read it. But that was some time ago, so I wasnt sure what I would remember from the book and wasnt sure if the movie was going to be as good as what I read.
You know when you read a book, and then you go to the cinema to see the movie and then you kick yourself..because the book was way better?
Well it wasnt one of those times. I am happy to say that the DVD was just as good as the book. Actually after watching it I want to get my hands on the book again and re-read it.
I am also going to tuck myself into bed (as soon as I finish writing this!), put my headphones on, and watch it again. I want to see the parts that I didn’t really get a chance to see….doing dinner/dishes was a bit distracting.
Favorite Part of the Movie
My all time favorite part of the movie was when Julia Roberts found her true self. She went to three different countries but in the end she found her inner balance. I so can relate to that feeling as I am searching within at the moment and I am working on a few things that are bugging me.
It’s funny how being a Mum can seem like that’s it. Yet there is more to being just a “MUM” and I am searching for something. Not sure what. Not sure why. Not sure how. But I can feel something deep happening within. Do you ever go through those moments? Where you feel like something is different but you are not sure what?
Watching Eat – Italy, Pray – India, Love – Bali is good for the soul. I love watching the different culture in each country, and start to wonder….what would I do if I was to visit each place?
Gosh I would Love Italy…with all of the streets, the people and the way they love! Oh and the food…heaven.
Eating in Italy ~
Would love the amazing food, people, culture, love!
I so would love India – especially a temple where I could sit and reflect. I would love the meditation side of being there.

Then Bali….I so could imagine myself soaking up the sun, the beach, the natural healing of the people. Their way of life makes me so curious – they have the most amazing smiles. It’s almost like they are smiling from the inside to the outside. They also listen and read the body so that it can heal naturally. I love that.

Maybe I am having one of those moments where I dream about Backpacking. Maybe I am having one of those moments where I wished I had travelled when younger. Why do I have such a desire to be on the go?
Do you know who I would love to be right this minute? I would love to be Nancy from Family on Bikes! Riding through the most amazing places, and exploring the world with such a wonderful perspective.
I so want to explore. I want adventure, love, laughter, good food, good times, great memories, lots of photos and moments where my breath is taken away. I want to feel alive, and discover who I am. Why I am here on this earth.
David can feel a change within me and knows that I want to be somewhere different. He has even asked me what I want. If I knew that then I would be there, and he wouldn’t be asking!
Maybe I am going through my own mid-life journey. Not sure – just know that Eat Pray Love was one fine damn movie, and one fine damn book.
Off to bed now, to make-believe and to dreaming of travelling through places never been to before.
What Do You Think About Travelling To Italy, India and Bali?
Cheers

I think I need to watch it again. I went to the theatre and saw it and wasn’t that impressed. I hope you find what you are looking for Lisa, and your dreams and goals are fulfilled. I can feel it from your writing that you are looking for something more.

Hi Jackie,
I loved the Movie Eat Pray Love because its so what I am experiencing at the moment. But maybe the movie is not for everyone! The book was also good because it had more in deepth detail.
I am searching but I still dont know what for – sure have a lot of time to think about it!
Cheers

Hi Lisa
I have learned to just flow with the flow & let the universe guide me and somehow everything always seems to falls into place .
Just TRUST & let a higher force guide you There is a plan worked out here below & the higher force is doing the planning
Enjoy your life & live according to your consciousness. LIVE IN GRATITUDE AND GIVE THANKS FOR ALL THE GOOD THINGS YOU ARE EXPERIENCING.
