I’m currently reading Eat Love Pray by Elizabeth Gilbert. A close friend of mine gave me this book as part of a bridal shower gift and I have to say I’m quite enjoying the few pages I’ve read so far. Has anyone out there read it? Did you love it or hate it?
I’m trying to re-organize and re-prioritize things in my life that have sort of taken a back burner over the last few months for example – reading books so hopefully I actually finish reading this one. Let see how it goes. I’m also trying to learn how to pace myself and how to take occasional breaks from the craziness that is my life and just really step back, reflect and be grateful to God for all the amazing opportunities he’s given me and for all the blessings I’ve received.
I’ll be honest and say I’m ready for our 2nd wedding to be here and over with – while I’m sure it will be an amazing day – I miss not having to do any wedding related stuff whatsoever (even though I’m not sure where I even find the time). To all the troppers out there planning your weddings without any help – I truly admire you! I really do.
Anyway enough rambling, I’ll be back with a new wedding post soon :)

I also am reading this book! We will have to discuss :)
BTW your pictures from your traditional wedding are absolutely gorgeous! You look stunning!!
Gave up on this book in the middle. But, you may like it. All the meditating and prayer in India made me nuts. Another good book was The Help. Loved it!
I just finished it at the beginning of the summer. I quite liked it and look forward to the movie based on the book coming out later this year. You will enjoy it – just put in perspective that it is supposed to be a real life account – although I just couldn’t help but think some things might have been overly embellished…
Have a lovely time at your upcoming wedding!
Enjoy the build up to your wedding!! It’ll be the only time this will happen for you! Like Heather, while I finished this book, I really didn’t enjoy it. Also like Heather, I’ve been recommending ‘The Help’ to everyone! That is an incredible book!
Just stumbled upon your blog today, great work! Captivating pictures. I love your style. Keep it up! :)
I read it earlier this year and I found it “interesting” she’s a clever writer though. Yes Bola, definitely prioritize taking time out to meditate and reflect on the goodness of God in your life. It’ll do wonders!
