Eat. Pray. Love the book

I read your book and just saw the movie and it seems that I too have disappeared into not only a significant other (a relationship that lasted 7 years) but also into a life that was comfortable. I didn’t piece it together until I saw the movie that God’s message through your story is to eat (for the soul), pray (for peace of mind), and love (to fulfill the heart). These things are the only things that truly matter in this world. I am writing a similar story to yours. It’s about a spiritual revolution within yourself. I started writing it last August 2009 before I read your book and saw the movie. I started writing it before me and my boyfriend broke up and realized that my story, Awaken, turned out to be my own awakening. I have always been pretty close to God, but sometimes I get lazy and need something to re-ignite my spirit. Needless to say, I am awake. After the break up, I felt I needed a change in my life and to actually start living it and make life happen instead of letting it happen to me. As Americans I think we let our freedom rot away and disintegrate into mindless entertainment so we can escape from the craziness. I hope that your story helps people realize that the American dream can sometimes be a nightmare. People worry too much about what they are expected to have and want instead of what will challenge them and make them grow, which is why people are after the American dream as a substitute for their individual dream. My dream is to inspire people with my words as you have. And I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your very deep personal story with the world. I hope that you have opened people’s minds and hearts to a new and better life. I’m glad that as soon as you let God into your life, everything you knew changed for the better. I admire you for having the guts to make a change and do the work.
