Let the Universe Rush In

By Jessica Walker

I was very fortunate last week to be invited to an early preview of the movie Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman’s Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia
starring Julia Roberts due out August 13th.  I will refrain from spewing the details but I do have to say… FINALLY A GREAT MOVIE!  The casting was spot on.  All the actors truly embodied their characters and the connection between each of them was effortless.  The scenery was astonishing -- no better word than that -- each country was beautifully depicted.  If I had a private jet at my disposal I would be writing this post from Bali right now.

I did not read the book but I heard from several ladies at the preview that the movie was actually better than the book.  After further discussion with these ladies, I learned that if I had read the book I would have had a lot of my questions answered.  For example, I was wondering the whole time how the heck did the author of the book, Elizabeth Gilbert, pay for all this traveling? Come to find out the answer is literally in the book.

I do feel the need to warn our male readers as this movie is totally a chick flick.  But, if you are looking to score some brownie points, I highly recommend you tough it out.  It will be worth it in the end, I promise!

To the ladies reading this, I am very confident that you will enjoy every minute of this flick.  To me this movie was nourishment for the soul.  It reminded me that the one constant relationship in life is the relationship with ourselves.  If that relationship is broken, bruised or battered, we will be unable to work on any other relationship around us.  Hopefully we can all learn to clear out our minds and open the doorway that will allow the universe to rush in.

Check out Eat, Pray, Love Movie Trailer! I would love to hear your thoughts.  Stop back and leave me a comment after you watch it.
