Eat. Pray. Love



Please watch the above clip. It will change your life, it changed mine.

This woman is amazing. Within the first two minutes of this speech I loved everything about. Her words were some of the only words that really calmed my frantic and terrified 21 year old soul. She gave me hope.

She understood me. I want to be her best friend, hell, I want to be her...kind of. I want to know everything about her philosophy of life and I haven't even read her work.

I look forward to 6 months from now when I graduate. There is a long list of books that I've been wanting to read for years. Eat. Pray. Love has been moved to the top of the stack after hearing her speech on Ted.com.

"Don't be afraid. Don't be daunted. Just do your job. Continue to show up for your piece of it, whatever that might be. If your job is to dance, do your dance. If the divine cockeyed genius assigned to your case decides to let some sort of wonderment be glimpsed for just one moment through your efforts, then Ole! And if not, do your dance anyhow. And ole! to you nonetheless ; I believe this , and I feel that we must teach it; Ole! to you nonetheless for having the sheer human love and stubborness to keep showing up."~ Elizabeth Gilbert

Hell. Freaking. Yeah.
