Besame Mucho

I had resisted all the urges and temptations to read this book for a very long time. After the glowing reviews and the fact that it seemed very Oprah approved earned it an automatic disqualification.

I was wrong.

While Elizabeth Gilbert
 
 

is able to take time off from her life and not have to worry about mortgages, health insurance and groceries to do some navel gazing, it is a very inspiring read. I got to live vicariously through her and her adventures (and sometimes, misadventures). My favorite part of the book was her time in Italy.
 
 

 
 I could so imagine all that happening in my mind’s eye. There are times in my life when I think about running away halfway around the globe, and be self indulgent, but in reality, I could never do that. I guess I just think about my family too much and could never be away that long.
