Simply Millennial

I am well aware that I’m a little late with jumping onto this book’s bandwagon, but I have to express my appreciation for it nonetheless. 

I received this book about a month ago, but was hesitant to start reading it. I guess I didn’t want to feel like a groupie, which is ridiculous because I’m a fiend for everything pop culture anyway. Or maybe I was afraid of the word “pray.” Whatever the cause of my resistance, when I did decide to crack the book open I was kicking myself for not doing it sooner. 

For those who haven’t read it yet, it is the true memoir of Elizabeth Gilbert’s travels through Italy, India and Indonesia in search of, well, everything! She’s just getting out of a nasty divorce, and begins a journey to reconnect with herself, all while enjoying the world’s pleasures.  

For me, the timing in receiving this book was so incredibly synchronous with my own personal journey. I too am transitioning out of a long relationship and headed for an itinerary of adventure. Reading Ms. Gilbert’s story has been so soothing to me. Her sense of humor is both infectious and intelligent. I feel much stronger spiritually, and therefore more ready to take on what the next few months will bring. 

Even if you aren’t currently going through an emotional time in your life, I still would recommend that every woman read this book. It’s like a good kick in the arse!
