Julia Roberts plays the part of Liz Gilbert and while she is going through a terrible, nasty divorce, she up and decides to embark on a journey for a complete year. To marvel at something, and change the way she is. She starts out in Italy to eat the good food, moves to India and commits herself to an ashram, and moves on to end the year in Bali. I don't want to go into to much detail because I don't want to give too much away but watching this movie I was so inspired.
I only wish that I could take a year off and live in Italy for some time, I would personally trade in India and maybe go to Jerusalem to find god and inspiration, and I would love to end my year in Bali as well!
However; It is almost financially impossible for anyone to embark on the journey that she did, but last night I was laying in bed and thinking about what my next Blog was going to be about and I come upon a revelation. So my first revelation was, you do not have to move out of the country to do these things. You can do it in your own home, and my second revelation was that, this is exactly what I am going to do for my new years resolution. Like Liz, I want to Marvel at something. I however, do not want to change myself but make myself better. For me, and for everyone that surrounds me.
Starting in January and going through December I am going to Eat like I never have before. I am going to try new things everywhere I go and try to find myself in my own kitchen by cooking things that interest me and my taste buds. Now anyone who knows me, knows that this is going to be an interesting challenge because I defiantly have trouble when it comes to using the stove and my kitchen. But this is 2010 and with the internet you can get your hands on just about any recipe that you like and I am going to take the time to perfect each one that I find interesting :)
I am also going to pray harder than I ever have before, and get back in the habit of going to church regularly. I have so much to be thankful for and God has truly blessed me with much more than I deserve. I have found that as time goes on God can sometimes be put on the back burner and I get lazy and church becomes more of an every now and again rather than an every week, and I want to change that in the next year.
And lastly I want to Love my Husband, Family, and Friends like I never have before. We all take everyone we love for granted when in true reality, anyone of us can be gone at any given time. We all should live with no regrets!!
I am really bad about letting small petty things get at me and its not worth it because in the end the small things NEVER matter and you end up regretting them!
I have to say I am so excited about my new revelations and I don't think I can wait until New Years, I just might have to give it an early start, starting now!!
Until the next time!!
Much Love,
Ashley B :)
