Eat Pray Love

Not the movie though!!!!

I just finished reading the book, and OH MY GOODNESS... it has touched me no end :)

Through Uni, I had to watch a talk given by the author, Elizabeth Gilbert, on creativity.  Throughout the 20 odd minutes of her talk, I felt so deeply touched by and connected to her words and her way of expressing what she was wanting to say.  I then rushed to the computer to reserve a copy of the book at my local library, and didn't regret it at all.

It has made me want to pack up for a year and go traveling, but my life is currently a little more complicated than Ms Gilbert's - children will do that!!  But, it doesn't mean I can't take baby steps to at least improve myself and my life even more.

And you know what, already this weekend is shaping up to be a lovely one, filled with lots of peace, calmness, and joy.

As soon as I finished the book this morning, I got busy around the house doing those usual weekendy things that need doing... and flying through them without whinging - I was feeling all joyous, and inspired.  I even managed to finish NEXT WEEKS uni work!!!!

Tonight I'm going to listen to some of my new meditations, have a nice long bath, and in general, relax and dwell on this joyousness :)

Tomorrow I'm off to visit my baby brother in his new house - his first home - I'm so proud of him and can't wait to see it!  Of course, after I do that I get to pick up my beautiful girls and bring them home.

Oh and for TAM, I'm studying a single unit at the moment - Art & Creativity - but it's part of a Fine Arts & Visual Culture degree :)
