Maybe it just came at a time in my life when I wanted to get away from everything so I traveled vicariously through her to another world for awhile. You're right about one thing, though. She's a bit of a whiner. But I'm a bit of a whiner too, so perhaps that's what made me feel a bond... :)Tam and Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06321200560356498388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829543826729715346.post-79342542816863247582010-01-27T21:18:18.791-08:002010-01-27T21:18:18.791-08:00I enjoyed the book at the beginning, but less so a...I enjoyed the book at the beginning, but less so as it meandered from Pray to Love.

Yes the snot chin & tears type of break up.<br /><br />The author can read my blog and say "So what you had a stroke, you're alive, get over it and get on with your life." Everyone's respective experiences are subjective so I can't judge what is important to highlight in her book or not. I've been to Italy and have experienced the food too. I've been praying for three years that my body is restored to full function but it has not been, I keep it moving no matter how hard. Would that make a great book? I dunno? Just on third eye opening while reading EPL. Trust me I looked for it.strokeoflivinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03750489814772979955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829543826729715346.post-4837622706180489332010-01-27T16:02:58.473-08:002010-01-27T16:02:58.473-08:00I had a great, long response that was deleted beca...I had a great, long response that was deleted because my laptop sucks ass.

But, I guess I just have some issues with our cultures lack of commitment to their promises. Certainly divorce in some cases needs to happen, but my impression is that she just left it all behind to follow her quest. Just too common in our day really. Isn't quite right...toss it aside. Not one of my friends recommended the book.

I've been through two divorces (second marriage was a nightmare and a half.. it could make a book, but I doubt anyone would believe it... it's just too "out there" for the things that happened). But anyway.. I don't need a poor me/learn nothing from the past kind of story. It's called "big girl panties." Pull 'em up!Aletahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05605214202876973830noreply@blogger.com
