Eat Pray Love



I’ve read the book twice and saw the movie last night. Loved it. Love the idea. It’s so easy to get stuck in your routine of life and lose yourself. Go to work, pay your bills, eat at the same restaurants, shop at the same stores, drive the same streets.

Not everyone can afford to take a year off and explore like Liz did. Skip the salmon and splurge on the carbonara; try a new bottle of Italian wine; have a conversation with a total stranger; sprinkle a new topping on your popcorn at the movies; buy a painting from a local artist; take a different path when you walk your dog; leave a waiter a $5 tip on a $7 bill; eat a hand-made lavender truffle from a local chocolate shop (kakao at Shenandoah and Jefferson); stop in to see your niece and nephew just to give them a hug.

So that was my weekend, how was yours?
