MIxed emotions on the "EPL" life.

Beginning this school year I taught about how summer was like the "Eat Pray Love" life. During the summer I was able to take time off, and become one with me, and also learn about new stuff. But the first two days of school, I realized something that maybe throughout your whole life you live that "EPL" life. Don't people always say, you never stop learning until you die. Well I think they are right. Not just at school do you learn about the school related work, but you also learn important life lessons. So maybe its not necessary to take a year off your life, and travel that world to learn more about yourself. I started to think that maybe all you really need to do,is pay attention to what happens in your life, and learn from the moments that have impacted it. Those moments are usually the ones that end up shaping you into the person that you are. Maybe Liz was right in taking time off to learn about herself, because that is what worked for her, but for others and from what I have seen maybe all you need to do is pay attention to your surroundings. But in one thing I do agree with Liz, to pray you do need to be a religious or sacred place because that is where you are going to be able to achieve the most peace and serenity that you want. After realizing this I'm really not sure how I feel, if you should take time off or not, but I do find it necessary that you do find that "EPL" life, because once you have found it you become a better inside and out.

Living my own "Eat Pray Love"

When I go through life, I want to have the same passion Liz had when she was doing everything, I want to feel like I am giving all of me into the thing that I am doing in that moment, and not just do it half way. That's why when I read the book I knew I had to find the inner peace in myself to be able to complete something or be part of something and be successful in it. But I feel like we can do some things that we help us achieve what we want to. For one I think we should only be thinking of doing of what we are doing in that moment. Just like when we are at school, I think we should only concentrate in school related work, or activities. If we are able to stay are track through that whole day that is only school, work, or something else after we accomplish it we feel satisfied, and we do not leave the place with the frustration that we once had towards it. Then after we are able to accomplish that one thing we are able to move on to other things and also do as well as we did and the thing before. Another important thing to have in life is that passion. Without passion you are not able to do anything. After you have that passion you are able to care more about your life and the things that matter in it. To live my "Eat Pray Love" life I need to also disconnect from my surroundings and think things through. I feel when you disconnect from the world and only concentrate on yourself. When I concentrate on myself I am able to think on what is important and let go of the things that are not necessary in life, just life when Liz took the time to meditate and think things through. My final thing I would do to be able to achieve that life would be to make time for myself and do things that I enjoyed. Just like when Liz took the trip to Italy and did things that she enjoyed those are the things I am going to do. I will set things aside and make time and do something that only brings happiness to me and takes my worries away. I think we have to find our own balance from the inside, so that can portray to what we do in our life. Even though we have to change our lives, after we do that I think we are able to achieve what we want to. We are only to do that by being our own motivation and inspiration, and finding and completing that balance that we all need in our lives to live that "Eat Pray Love" lifestyle. 

Stepping in her shoes...

Just like when Liz decided to take a year off her live to go find herself. I would do the same. But I think I would choose two different countries, and two different reasons. I would still stay with Italy, because that is where my passion for food would come from. The country I would choose to do my praying in would be Turkey, and finally my place for "love" would be France. I chose all this three countries for various reasons just like Liz did. When I chose Italy I was thinking of the great pasta they have, but not only that. Italy would be that choice for food, because when I see Italian food I also think of my roots. How my roots kind of relate to the Italian food because they use some of the similar ingredients, and came be traced back to come from the same place. Another reason why I'm stilling sticking with Italy has my food place is because of the simplicity the food has to it. I love the simplicity because that is the way I am simple, and I am also able to cook it when I leave Italy. Also I would chose Italy for my food and to be care-free because the food has a thing that says home cooking, and even though I will be far away it would still feel like I am close to home. Turkey to me seems like such a spiritual place to be at, and be one with God. Looking over the percentage of how much each European countries values religion Turkey had one of the highest ones. Even though the main religion is Islam and that is not my religion I would still pick it, because I am always open into learning about new things and I would love to learn about the Islamic religion. Looking over the pictures of the mosques in Turkey also makes you fall in love with, and I kind of receive a welcoming feeling just by looking at the pictures, and each of them calling me to come. One of the main places I would go to pray and mediate would be Istanbul, because it is home of some of the most wonderful, and beautiful Christian churches, and it holds so much history of the previous religions that once were big in Turkey. My last destination for that year would be France; everything about France is calling me. Not just because they say it’s the city to fall in love, but also because of its fashion, cuisine, historical sites, language, and beauty. When I decided to chose France I do not pick it because that is where I am hoping to my soul mate or anything like that. The main reason why I chose it was because when I started to take my French classes I did not expect to also fall in love with its culture, and that is what I want to be able to see in France and fall in love with it in person. France has some of the most beautiful historic sites that make your heart melt in one instant. Everything that I have learned about is why I would love to travel there, and get to know it better. Just like Liz did, I would love to travel to three countries fall in love with them, learn from them, but also learn more about me, and see what these three countries are able to shape me into. 

Spiritual success!

Success can mean different things to people. It can also have a different value to people depending on what you did to earn that success. But to me I think spiritual success, is as equal as or even more important to have reached than anything else. When I think about spiritual success I do not only think about having things well with God, and going to church, and donating. I think about being good with you inside, and mentally, and also with others. I think all these things are what bring success in your spiritual live. To me having success in your spiritual live then makes it bring success into the world and the things you do in it. But to achieve this spiritual success I think you have to you through different steps, just like Liz did. I think the first thing you have to have to achieve this spiritual success is inspiration. The inspiration I think should come from something that you want to accomplish not only in your spiritual life but something that will better the rest of your life. The inspiration you receive should be something like a message that makes your more aware of your surroundings. To achieve spiritual success you do not only have to have inspiration but also change your way of living.  Meditation is one thing that you should change in your life style. Just like when Liz did meditation it helped her become more focused and bring calmness to you. Another thing that these step shows have is slowing down in your life. Take everything calm, instead of rushing into things, and start enjoying life, just like Liz did in her yearlong travel. In reaching success you also have to focus in what is the purpose of life, or better yet your life. This we help you in realizing what you’re good at doing. By finding out what you are good at doing will able you to give back to others. Causing you to have reached your spiritual success, and bettering the life around you. Then when you achieve that spiritual success your have a better spiritual health. Because you learn how to be a forgiving person. That why you forgive someone you show that your the bigger person and that you also have control over the situation. Helping maintain your spirituality good. Another thing this does is allows you to be at peace with yourself. When you have peace with yourself it allows you to see things in a complete form, and you are able to know that God has things under control when you can not keep them in control, allowing you you to have a higher vision of hopefulness. Spiritual success is the most important hing to me because it lets me become a better person, and lets me see the right thing to me. And I know when I achieve I will have that calmness in me, and gratefulness I need to change things around me into positive things.  

How it relates to what is going on around the world...

"Eat Pray Love" relates to many people around the world, but not only relates to the people but many people are going through the same things. I think many things that Liz went trough in her book, I have gone through. For example when Liz started talking about her relationship with God I felt like it was me. Because for a few years I was kind of confused of what to think about it. Then when something that happened in our lives changed our point of views I knew that talking to God brings a peacefulness and warming feeling it you. Even though like Liz said that talking to God may not fix the problem at that moment it does make you feel better and that is exactly what happened to me. Even though my problem was not the same as Liz it did had something to deal with my family, after praying to God and letting things go his way we all, but especially me understood that you can not change a person, they have to be willing to change for themselves. Another thing I think people might find relate-able to what happened in Liz life was going through a divorce and then falling in love again. Most people when they get married they think they are marrying the person that they are going to send the rest of their lives with, but sometimes that wrong.  Right now in America there is a 50% chance of a married couple to through a divorce. So just like Liz almost have of the married couples in the United States can relate to what she went through and how she felt. Even though their is not a certain number of how many people do fall in love again, I seen a lot of other people go through a divorce and get married again. Another way that the book relates to my live was when Liz decided to learn more about Italy and its culture. Because just like Liz I found the passion for a country and everything in it. Once I started to take French class, I knew I had found something new I loved. Everything about France I loved. Its language just like Liz loved Italian, learning a new language to me is something fascinating. But once I discovered it food, the literally rocked my world. Eating French food just like Liz intrigued me to learn more about. Now just like Liz all I want to do is go tour France in my near future, and actually get to live the experiences just like she did. The final thing I think that people can actually relate to the book, is going throughout life and finding yourself and what you really want. Some people go through their whole lives without knowing what they really should be doing and who they really should be with. But just like Liz some people actually do take the time to learn more about themselves and go after what they really want and deserve in their lives. And just like Liz most of the people that go out there and do what they need they need to end up finding themselves. To me this book has deep relations to the world and the people in it because it coming from some that actually wrote what was going on in life, and not just something fiction. 

What you might learn if you read it.

Almost every book that we take the time to read usually has a theme or various themes to it. Well this book was not the exception. "Eat Pray Love" had one big message in all, but every section in the book had its own theme. The big board theme the book had as whole was to find yourself, and also find what makes your life worth living for. I understood this theme by the various things that went on in her life, and how she explained it. The first part I understood that was the theme was when she decided to travel around the world. Every time she went to a new place she would learn something new about herself that she did not know before. For example in Italy Liz learned how to be a care free person. She did this by not letting her gaining of weight get to her. Another thing that made Liz find herself was when she got her divorce from her husband, when she got her divorce from her husband she was able to become the person she wanted to be and not live a fake life, and do things she did not want to. In India Liz discovered herself when she became a better praying person. When Liz managed to become a better prayer she also was able to connect more with-in herself. Last thing Liz did to find herself in my perspective was finding the love of her life in Indonesia. I think this helped Liz find herself because when you find your soul mate they help you discover more of yourself. In my opinion the second part of the theme as a whole book which is discover something that makes life worth living for came from Liz being able to write the book. I think this because, Liz managed to share her experiences with everyone who brought her happiness, and happiness always makes you want to keep on going. Now from each section in the book you might also learn a thing or two. One thing that I learned from Italy which was the part "eat" learning how to have fun, and healing from a hard past. I learned this from this part of the book by Liz taking the time to forget everything in her past, and also living day by day her life and not really caring. I also got this message by Liz trying new things and finding out she enjoyed them. In India the main theme was to learn discipline. I understood this when Liz was having a hard time with bettering her praying. Liz learned that when she had a talk with one of the other person staying there and taught her what she did. That she kinda had to let it come to her but that she had to be strong and not let it put her down when she was not getting it in her first tries. The last part of the book I think tells you to learn how to apply everything that you learn into your life. I think Liz did this when she went back to the medicine man and she continued to learn about herself. Another way Liz was able to do this was when she was strong enough to stand up to one of her friends and told her what to   do, not because it was going to be beneficial for her, but because she cared. And the last thing she applied this to was when she allowed herself to fall in love with someone. Even though you might read the book and not learn the same things that I learned its still worth a shot, because you just might learn something better, or something that will impact your life for good. 

Brilliant writing much...

Before I began reading this book, I did not know what my reviews would be towards it. I was not sure, but after reading this book I knew it was an excellent memoir of a world traveler. Liz managed to engage me in the way she wrote. The way Liz described everything that was going on in her life made it seem relate-able, and also so beautiful. To me it do not seem like a memoir but instead like a journal that I was reading from a close friend, the book had a funny sense to it some what hard to understand but at the same time it was serious because of the things she was going through.  Even though I enjoyed all the parts I have to admit my favorite part was Italy.The way Liz talked about Italy was such with such a passion, and love. Italy to me was the best thing she wrote about even though one of the main themes in the book was god and her guru. I loved that Liz chose Italy because first of all I want to go there, and second of all Liz talked about food. When Liz started to talk about the Italian food, it kinda made me feel like I was there since I'm such a big Italian food eater. I loved the way Liz took the time to describe the food, she was trying at every new city she went to. When Liz talked about how much weight she gained from the food, it made me feel relate-able to her, but to me it was brilliant that she wrote about that because not every writer would feel comfortable talking about gaining weight, and feeling good about. Knowing that she felt comfortable about it told me that she was willing to open up mind and expend into new things. Also even though only concentrated on herself and healing herself Liz manages to engage people into it, even though you are not the one living the experience one on one you feel like you are. Even though the book started depressing it turned into an interesting thing. Turning into such an interesting thing that kind of makes you envy her that you are not that one traveling the word, because who would not like to do that? Forget their problems and just enjoy life  that is what the book said. Would I recommend this book, yes but only to certain people that enjoy something that kind of stops time around you and makes you feel one with the book. Trust me this is one of those books that once you start reading you feel like you do not want to put down, it feels like you are the one living the great life that Liz did. My final thoughts of the book are that I would not change any single thing she wrote about, and that everyone should take a chance to read this book because you never know what you might learn from it, and hands down I give this book a big TEN. Finally I loved the book, and the way she wrote it made me feel like every lesson she learned I also learned, and not only did she find herself, but it made me feel like I found myself. 

What a book can have you thinking?

After reading "Eat Pray Love" I felt like I had learned so much. Reading this book showed my some of the main things that need to be prioritized in life. For example when she talked about leaving her husband even though she was not sure if it was going to be the right thing or not, I learned that you have to let go of things and by letting go you become a stronger person. When Liz did this she became a stronger person, but not just that she was also able to find herself. Now I know that I do not have to worry how much something hurts, because it will take me somewhere that will lead me to finding how I truly am.When Liz began talking about God, I felt like I had a big connection with her. Just like her I was unsure of what to think or how to pray to God. I had to go through something’s to know that there was someone above looking over me and willing to guide me in the right direction. Reading her part in India reminded me of when I did my Holy Communion, unsure and kind of scared, but as the time progressed you learn the ideas behind it, and you feel a closeness to God, even though you cannot see him you know you can talk to him and he will be able to listen to you; when he listens to you he will reply your prayers even though it might take awhile. In India I felt like Liz let go of herself, and became the person that she wanted to be, and that is the message I got. That through an experience with God you realize who you are. I had this feeling because when Liz was frustrated when she could not get her praying right, she managed to talk to God, and he guided her towards the path of hope. Another thing that this book taught was that you never start learning no matter how much you think you already think you know. Reading the book showed me show of the true means of what I taught I already knew, and it did not only did that but it expanded my mind to other beliefs and cultures and what they are really about. Reading the book it made me think of the many things in life that we have but that do not make us happy. It made me think because of everything Liz had at the beginning and was not happy, she taught she had the perfect family, life, and everything that you might need or want, but that still was not enough. It showed me that sometimes you have to think through of want you have, and ask yourself does it make you happy. If your answer is NO, then you have to change your life, and that usually with leaving everything behind will lead you to your TRUE HAPPINESS, and become a better person inside and out. 

Indoneisa:36 Tales About the Pursuit of Balance"

India:36 Tales About the Pursuit of Devotion

As this part of her life begins she starts by remembering how when she was little she was raised in a chicken farm, and every time a chicken died her dad would sneak in a chicken to replace the chicken. So when the other chickens would wake up they would think it had always been there. She compared this to when she arrived in India. She arrived in the middle of the night. As she arrived to the Ashram (the temple) she was not noticed because everyone was occupied in their praying sections. As the days when on she found it hard to concentrate in the praying sections specially since she had not prayed in the last four months. She kept on remembering what one time one of her yoga teacher's had asked her why did she practice yoga? She found the answer she knew she practiced it because was able to experience her divinity and be able to hold that experience forever. She then goes on to explain why it’s important to have your own guru; how without one you really do not reach what the doctrine really wants you to reach. A guru as she explains it is able to pass their enlightenment to others. What they are actually passing on is mantravirya. Liz also talks about some of the Indian beliefs how they think there are three main factors that indicate when the soul of a person has been blessed. When Liz arrived there it was close to the New Year's, on New Year's Eve it is traditional for everyone to stay up and chant songs. At first the songs began in a slow beat, but as the night progresses and it gets closer to the New Years the beat goes up beat. Even though Liz was surrounded by people she didn't know, she felt like she was welcomed, and never alone. As her time grew in India it was still hard for her to pray. She felt like she had to concentrate for it, and it just would not come to her. While being there Liz mets Richard someone that becomes close to her, he is even able to help her with her meditation telling her that its not her that its her ego thats not letting her acomplish what she wants to do. Later on Liz discovered that she is also having trouble with the daily morning chant. The chant comes the old holy script of yoga.Liz also talks about faith and how it relates. She talks about how most of us pray to God when we are in need or in hopes of reciving something. But just like we are not one hundred percent sure we are going to recieve we still keep on doing it, and we do it jsut cause that what we want, and we have faith that we will recieve it.She later learns that she has to relate prayer and destiny.s She learns that when she prays that thats the only thing she should worry at that time, and responde better do the things that happen in life and maintain a positive look into it. As the time passes in the Ashram her meditations goes from being a big whirl to turning into being a big peaceful time. She also discovered her own “GOD" in her meditations because she still was not sure what religion she was. But she did find "GOD" in herself, and when she did this she discovered that to find peace she had to return to herself. As her time in India comes to an end she described it as something beautiful, honest, and self discovering. 

Italy:"Say it like you EAT it"

Once Liz arrived to Italy she knew that it would be a mouthwatering place. Arriving at Italy Liz wanted to stay somewhere that had a home welcoming feeling but also have the Italian culture. When she found the place that she was going to be staying at the landlord told Liz that "only thing in life that is permanent is family." This to Liz felt really ironic because she had been married with some she taught was her going to be part of her family but ended up divorcing him. But then she taught of all the people that were there for her after the divorce, and she knew that they were "family" even though they were just friends because they had stuck with her through the hard times. Liz also being in Italy taught it would be best to expand her Italian especially since she had been learning for the last couple of months. The guy that Liz ended up picking was by a bulletin board. His name was Giovanni. Liz once she meets him fell in "love" with him. At first she loved being with him, since she was practicing her Italian, but then has the time went on she kept on thinking if it was good that at her age she should be involved with someone that was much younger than her. So Liz decided it would be better to be enrolled in a class, and she loved going to the class. The building was old but it had such a beauty to it that made her love it. After being in Italy for about two weeks Liz's depression and loneliness started to catch up with her. As the days went by she kept on telling depression and the loneliness to go away but they never really did they always seem to be stuck firm by her side. Liz ended up seeing a doctor so she could get prescribed some medication, while taking this for three months they ended up saving her life, because without them she would have not been able to overcome anything. Liz was even told that she may need to take them later on in life just to overcome other things. But she said she did not plan to take them anymore she was going to be able to that with the help of any medication. As the time past by in Italy she knew she needed to make more friends. She became friends with Sofie that later on became to be her best friend. But she also met Luca; Luca was her introduction to real Italian food. By meeting him she discovered the greatness and the passion you could have for eating. Liz and Sofie would travel from city to city to try the specialty of the city. The food in each city had such a wonderful taste to it. But when she was traveling from city to city she also understood that she was on a pursuit for happiness, something that she had not had in a long time, but that she was able to accomplish there. Once Liz's sister arrives there. She wants to show her everything and show her the food and how great it is. Liz talks about her sister with such great love, even though they went through a whole lot when they were growing up. The food in Italy makes Liz gain weight, but to her that is okay because she feels like she actually lived the Italy experience by eating the food and she also gained cultural knowledge. A week before Liz is ready to leave Italy to go to India she will come back for Christmas, and to repack. As Liz leaves Italy she leaves with gained pounds but also with happiness she has never felt before, and also with knowledge that she had not been living before but now she is. She is able to enjoy life in so many ways, and the living is a wonderful thing in this world even if she is the only one that knows that about her life.

Summary on part of the book: Before she embarks on her trip

As the book begins Liz gives an explanation on how her traveling around the world well be retold. Her choices to break it down into 109 stories just like japa malas. Even though most japa malas only have 108 beads, she included and extra one to give thanks to everyone that was able to change her life. In the book the first japa malas give you an explanation on how her life was going before she went on her life changing trip. One main thing that happened to Liz was meeting a medicine man in Bali, when she met the medicine man she never knew what she really wanted to ask him, but she ended up asking him about her life. The medicine man told her that she was going to lose her money, end up coming back to him, and have a short term marriage and a long term marriage. This ended up foreshadowing what later happens in her life. But before Liz left the medicine man gave Liz a picture that would also change her life, it was a four legged person but without no head. When he gave her the picture he said to her "you have to be grounded on Earth, and learn to see with your heart instead of your head".  After Liz arrived back home she understood that her husband and her were not in the same path, and knew they had to end it. But for Liz this was hard, because she taught that maybe it was just a phase that she was going through and that she would get over it. But one night just like the other nights that she had been crying something happened she began to pray. Something that Liz had never been familiar of doing. As she prayed she asked for an answer to what to do with her life, but that night she did not receive an answer on what to do with her life, she just got a calmness that made her go back to bed. Later the divorce came and she remembered what the medicine man had told her, she taught it was kind of funny how he was able to tell what was going to happen to her, even without really knowing her. As more time began to be put into the divorce Liz went into a depression, but something happened in her life that caused her to go out of her depression and it was David. David became Liz new "thing to live for" at first everything was like paradise. She even began to do things that she wanted to do like go do yoga, learn how to speak Italian (which would later come into use and also one reason that made her go into her trip) and also have a guru. When Liz started with her guru she knew this brought so much peace that she had not felt in her life in many years. But then things started to go bad; her divorce with her husband was going worse he would not take any thing that she was offering and things with David started to go downhill. Then she remembered what the medicine man had told her about going back, and that's what exactly came to her mind, she knew that she was going to back and learn from him. But then it occurred to her why not going on a whole year trip where she would find herself. So she decided that she was going to go Italy, India, and Indonesia. All she had to do was get her ex-husband to agree to sign the divorce papers so she could leave but this was a hard task. But how this happen was sort of funny, she was going on a road trip with her friend and she began to write a letter to God asking for help with her divorce. An hour later her lawyer called her telling her that her husband had signed the papers. With this Liz was left without money which was another thing that the medicine man had told her. But to her this was okay, because she was about to go on a trip that would change her life. And her first destination was Italy where she would find pleasure, or how she called it "Say it like you Eat it".
