I was watching a recorded episode of Oprah with Julia Roberts and Liz Gilbert where they discuss the film adaptation of Eat Pray Love.
During the episode Oprah asks all the cast members their favorite Eat, meal, Pray, where they find the most spiritual peace, and Love, what brings them most love into their lives.
I thought I would answer too.
Because you know, I'm sure Oprah would want to know...
Eat.
I would have to say, after thinking through all the things I really really enjoy eating, my most favorite is my mom's chili.
No one makes it like she does. And when I have it, it is just one of those meals that is just perfect. It's simple but it is definitely comfort food. The best comfort food.
I might have to throw in her homemade chocolate chip cake. It is perfection,!
Pray.
I thought about this for awhile. I guess some would say church, or a favorite spot but I get the most spiritual peace when I am home with my family in my family home. I have a high need for security and there is nothing that makes me feel more spiritually at peace and safe than being at home. When I thought about this I instantly got the image of my dad's study. It is the heart of our home and it is where I feel the most whole and well.
Love.
Well, if only I had some man's name to mention here.... No, but really... I think, even though it sounds cliche, that I feel love the most from my friends and from loving my friends. If you know me, you know I am fierce about my friendships. I don't call everyone a friend and I don't take friendship lightly, I put my whole heart into the friends I love and I love them with all of my heart.
Peace,
