I watched this movie the other day (Eat, Pray,Love) and decided it needs to be a top ten must watch for every life coach and therapist, the phrase, "the sweetness of doing nothing" is one I can't seem to get out of my head. I do know though, it's not for everyone, when I tried to get my sister to watch it she promptly told me that the wishy washy reflection and depth movies that dwell on soul searching and discovery she absolutely cannot endure. That said, this is not about the movie but about those three words in the title that sum up for me what the holiday season is all about;
1. EAT: Regardless of where you're from, food is always a big part of holiday and celebration. Take time to savor the meals, give thanks and remember those who are starving. Ultimately though it's not just about the food, it's about the moment-the laughter and the stories that we share.
2.PRAY: Whatever your religion or beliefs there's a reason and purpose to your existence. Meditate and reflect on the past year and define your next one, commit all your aspirations in prayer.
3. LOVE: No matter what you're going through or the challenges and issues you may have faced with others, forgive and believe. None of us can exist as an Island and beneath it all there is someone somewhere that you can share with the blessing of love.
Happy Holidays everyone!
