Women with Passion - Elizabeth Gilbert


"I get up every single day and I do my very best with what I am and what I have.."
"My head isn't a neigbourhood you would want to walk in,  alone at night at certain times..."  Elizabeth Gilbert

YES I have on online subscription to Oprah's newsletters :). My daily good vibe injections.  One of the feautures today was a talk by Elizabeth Gilbert, gifted author of Eat, Pray, Love. A woman which many of us can relate to. She is clever, funny and knows oh so well she is only human as we all are with our shortcomings...She advocates not to beat ourselves up all the time as we are merely doing our best!
Do check out the video on Oprah.com to see her wonderful, up-beat talk. I can assure you it will make you smile at yourself (with maybe a little tear here and there..)!

  3. She is pretty inspiring sort of chick isn't she. Would like to think i'll read the book one day, but i'm hopeless at putting reading on priority anytime other than holidays at the beach!

    And look at that, there's Kelle from Kelle Dame (another cool blog!!). I love it when the massive internet becomes a village : )

    hope you've had a great weekend painting that studio! jx
