Not to go all Oprah Winfrey, but this here's a must-read book, y'all.
A writer friend of mine told me about Elizabeth Gilbert's latest book Eat, Pray, Love a while back. This friend of mine is a tremendous writer herself, so I definintely intended to check it out. Stuff happens, so I'm just now getting around to reading it. My bad. Should have gotten to this one sooner.
Eat, Pray, Love is a travel memoir of Elizabeth's spiritual journey. Her amazing wit, humor, intellect and perspective make this as entertaining as it is enlightening. In her early thirties, Elizabeth had everything a modern American woman was supposed to want—husband, nice home(s), successful career—but instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she felt consumed by panic, guilt and confusion. Following a painful divorce, end of a second romantic relationship and crushing depression, she set out on a spiritual jouney to "find herself" and God, in the process. Her journey takes her to spend a year abroad, visiting Italy, India and Indonesia (what alliteration!). It's an amazing page-turner that really resonates with all of us seeking and stumbling along our individual spiritual path. Check it out.

Wow! I am going to add this book to my Christmas list (to buy for myself) I believe by just reading your description of the book, that is my story. I just haven't made it to Italy yet. Maybe someday! Thank you for recommending this book. I'll comment after I've read it. Thanks again
