Eat, Pray, Love

I just finished watching the movie Eat, Pray, Love and was pleasantly surprised at how fantastic this film was to experience.  Julia Roberts leads an outstanding cast of great actors realistically entertaining and enlightening us along her journey of self discovery.  I found her discoveries both illuminating as well as familiar in the challenges she faced and the answers that she discovered along the way.  

The only thing that I thought was unrealistic was how many great people, friends and mentors showed up almost instantly where she travelled.  Realistically the journey can be a lot more barren and lonely but I understand that this is a film and you can't just have a person walk around the whole movie in isolation.  In fact, the movie is a lot about that - how one relates to the people and the experiences that they are going through.  I teared up more then once and ran the gamut of emotions from indifference to joy throughout the film.  I highly recommend you see it and if you can go by yourself (since the movie is about self-discovery) then I highly recommend that you do as I did and go alone.

Enjoy the Journey,
