Eat, Pray, Love
If you haven’t read this book, you’re probably either male or living under a rock. For those of you males who have read it, good job- it’s not just a chick book. For those of you living under a rock? Please for the love of god just step out for a couple of hours and read it. Promise you won’t be disappointed and if you are I will personally offer you a full refund.
I just watched this video clip of the author Elizabeth Gilbert. I think she is pretty much excellent. My favorite parts of her speech are around minute 10 about Ruth Stone and then when she talks about her own writing around minute 14.
I have preached a lot to people in my life about “showing up” because I truly believe if you both literally and figuratively do that- great things will happen. Because of that, I was thrilled to hear Elizabeth end her speech with; “Have the sheer human love and stubbornness, to keep showing up.”
Amen sister.
I decided a while ago, that I was going to show up here every day because every ounce of me loves writing about what I do. Even on days like today. Those days that I feel a bit pissed off and frustrated that I’m not quite yet at the point I’m able to pay my bills with this project. It’s Ok though, I know it will happen. Practice, practice and patience, patience. I’m in for the long-haul.
I’ll keep showing up, hopefully you’ll keep reading and the adventure continues…
