a bit of wee morning inspo...

"People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.... A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake.... A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in..." ~ Elizabeth Gilbert

"Someday you're gonna look back on this moment of your life as such a sweet time of grieving. You'll see that you were in mourning and your heart was broken, but your life was changing..." ~ Elizabeth Gilbert

"How could two people who were so in love not end up happily ever after? It had to work. Didn’t it?" ~ Elizabeth Gilbert

"Life's metaphors are God's instructions." ~ Elizabeth Gilbert

"Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it." ~ Elizabeth Gilbert

a few of my favorite quotes...because

i'm being iNsPiReD by

one of my favoriteee books, "Eat Love Pray"

mainly because i can relate to Elizabeth on so many levels

it's as if this book is a scroll of my life from the past 12 years....

so many crooks, turns, hills, mountains, journeys (across the world), falling in love (with someone across the world), love, lost love, love found (again across the world), lost (again), found again...strength, determination, humor, sarcasm, success, career, acceptance, and survival...

sometimes i'm told i should write a book

{but i think it might fill up a trilogy}

completely inspiring book....

(and the movie was very nicely done but honestly lacked a lot of the humor from the book)

also, this book is inspiring 

an upcoming project for what i'm creating on tonite...

but i can't reveal (yet) :)

i know...i'm full of secrets lately

(go ahead & beat me down...well, not literally pleaseeee)

Anyhoo, check out the book if you haven't read it yet...

Kindle it, Nook it, Ipad it with IBooks, or just hit the old fashioned library 

but a must read for you book lovers!

also, her follow-up book, "Committed", is now out & i've been reading it

off & on on my iPad

{i'm not a consistent reader, it might take me a year+ to finish a book...no joke...

i have too many things i like to get into, mainly this thing called scrapbooking}

anyhoo, this book is a different turn from "Eat Pray Love" 

but also a nice read so far..

iNsPiReD.
