EAT PRAY LOVE

I've been reading the #1 New York Times Bestseller book entitled, EAT PRAY LOVE written by Elizabeth Gilbert. To my surprise, I thought like all other books I would just breeze right through this one as well. God works in mysterious ways....is what I'll say to this book. I thought I share the major concepts, objectives and or view points that has touched my life significantly throughout this book. Hence, will discuss each verb listed in the title:

EAT: In this book the author took a journey through Italy, India and on the Indonesian island of Bali, and captured the very essence of delectable and exotic meals. She learned how to savior her food and eat in small portions rather than stuff foods in her mouth which would only amount to over eating later and a terrible digestive system, if she chose that option. So I submit the same to you and join in the cause with you: LET'S EAT HEALTHIER TOGETHER!!! I am a junk and fast food junkie to my heart. I am very petite and people ask me all the time where the weight goes? Only God my Creator knows that answer, but I will tell you that my physical performance has been altered each and every time I eat things that are unhealthy. So instead of eating three or four chocolate chip cookies, try hard if you may, to just eat one for now and save the rest for another day!!!

PRAY: Most people and religions believe in a higher power and practice some form of prayer. In this book, Elizabeth spiritual struggle was her lack to concentrate on how to successful meditate and know the difference between that and prayer. Simply put, she said that prayer was a person talking to God and meditation was that person listening to what God had to say to them. Everyone prayer life is different, I will encourage you to have one regardless to what your preference is. God hears your prayers and sit back and watch Him bless you beyond whatever you asked or thought to ask of Him. To that, I AM A WITNESS!!!

LOVE: Oh boy, the subject that is meant to be so simple but lay in many people's mind as the enemy or a difficult challenge. In this book, Elizabeth lost love and before she lost it, found a little piece of it on the side in a gentleman. I won't give more details on that story because I don't want to spoil the plot of the book any further. I will say this: reach down inside yourself and love whatever comes up out of your soul and on what appears on the outside when you look in the mirror, BEFORE you dare try to love anyone else. Love is uplifting, respectful, energizes the soul, appreciated, encouraged, devotion, etc. If you are searching for love, I will close with this thought: EAT to nourish your soul, PRAY about the people that you invite into your life and once it becomes available to you wholeheartedly..... LOVE God first and all of these things will be added unto you!
