Eat, Pray, Love ...

Eat, Pray Love is a memoir about a 32-year old who has "everything" but is still unhappy.  She gets a divorce and spends the next year traveling to Italy, India and Indonesia (Bali) where she eats, prays and finally finds love.  Elizabeth Gilbert did a fantastic job with this book and I LOVED it.  I've read it at least twice, maybe more.  Every time I read it, I feel like I learn something.  I even gave it to all my closest girl friends for Christmas one year ... and I don't usually give books as gifts.  (Ironically, I seem to have lost my own copy somewhere along the way).

I wanted to see the movie so badly, but I was also afraid that it might not do the book justice.  But, I am happy to report, I didn't have anything to worry about.  My sister, cousin and I saw it while we were in Houston a few weekends ago and the movie was SO good.  I highly recommend it to everyone (and the book!).  I think I might have even liked the movie more than book ... probably because I LOVE Julia Roberts and let's be honest, Javier Bardem is MUCH cuter than the real Felipe (sorry Felipe).
