Have any off you seen the film eat love pray with Julia roberts in.?

 

I love this film it is what I want need.  To build a relationship with myself and my higher power.  To follow the guidance from within be true to myself instead of focusing on everything and everyone but me.

Fear drags me back to dysfunctional relationships, my disease keeps me trapped.  I am taking a leap of faith I truley want to spend time alone to get to know me.  To not be in a relationship due to fear, neediness but because it is right.  My biggest fear has always been to be alone but today I have my Higher power I think it is time to get to know me. xxx

Tracy, the paperback is even more detailed of course.  'Eat, Pray, Love.'

I loved it, I had borrowed it from the local library and later bought it for my daughter.

You may choose to order it to read through your own public library maybe.

Good Luck.  T.H.

Dear Tracy, I have heard of that movie but have not seen it yet, it sounds so good. Thank you for this share... I can totally relate to what you said about your biggest fear is being alone but today you have your HP. You just told my story. That is what I love

about this program. We tell eachothers story and it helps heal! Thank you for your courage and continue taking care of yourself. You're worth it! Here's to no longer being afraid to be alone, because I am never truly alone with my HP by my side.

Much love and support to you!

Its really weird you wrote this because I have just been thinking about this lately. Mainly the praying part. That the woman goes away and just focuses on her connection with her HP. I have taken days off work and completely just talked to God and read things that related. I feel like a million bucks when the day is over.. then life gets moving. But my HP made me to live, not always be still in his presence, its impossible.... life gets moving. I would love to go on a spiritual retreat like she did only probably not so far away since I cant afford that. I think I would really like just being around prayer and silence for a while. Its cool to know someone else is thinking this way.
