Story Highlight

Read Eat, Pray, Love

I really wasn’t that interested in this book to be totally honest. It just looked like a combination of a cook book and self help book.

So there I was on a Tuesday, tidying and making dinner for the girls before picking them up from school and having my usual half hour of hugs before jumping on the train to present Drive. I switch on the TV and Elizabeth Gilbert is a guest, talking about this book she has written – Eat, Pray, Love.

Elizabeth Gilbert has written a few books but this one stands out. She documents her life and some of the events that have taken place – including walking out of her marriage and home, eating without barriers as she piles on the pounds, and travelling to the last place on earth she thought she’d find love – and at the time she wasn’t looking. I loved the lesson she learned in Bali – SIMPLY SIT STILL AND SMILE. I’m gonna try that one!

The book has now been made into a film starring Julia Roberts, which I’m quite looking forward to seeing.
