Eat Pray Love
“I had actively participated in every moment of the creation of this life so why didn’t I see myself in any of it? The only thing more impossible than staying was leaving. I didn’t want to hurt anybody. I just wanted to slip quietly out the back door and not stop running until I reached Greenland.” -Eat Pray Love
I used to LOVE this movie because I was Elizabeth Gilbert, or at least I thought I was. I felt exactly as she did! No one had described how I felt better.
And she did it. She did what I only dreamed of doing. She left her marriage!
I used to daydream that I was her.
But my situation was a little more complicated. I had 4 kids and religious beliefs that kept me from running away. But that didn’t mean I was happy.
I watch Elizabeth break free and share her story with the world in her hit book and movie Eat Pray Love in 2006. I remember watching her on Oprah and wishing I was her. I wonder how many ladies took her lead and left their marriages to find their joy.
Me, I kept suffering in silence. Besides the emotional outburst every now and again.
Elizabeth found her soul mate at the end of the book Eat Pray Love and wrote a follow-up book about it called Committed in 2010.
What happened after she found the new love of her life? And wrote a book about making peace with getting married again? She left her soul mate for someone else. Why? I can’t say. But I can say the fairy tale came crashing down in my mind.
Thankfully, there is a big silver lining to ,my story….
I didn’t have to leave my marriage to find my joy. I discovered how to transform myself and my marriage has been happily ever after since 2016!
And now, I’d love to share with you how I did this in my free workbook. You can download it here!
Don’t lose that loving feeling! Turn it around. I know you can!
To your happily ever after.
Happy Month of Love!
