"So miss him. Send him some love and light every time you think about him, and then drop it. You're just afraid to let go of the last bits of David because then you'll really be alone, and Liz Gilbert is scared to death of what will happen if she's really alone." (Page 150)

"If you truly knew all the answers in advance as to the meaning of life and the nature of God and the destiny of our souls, our belief would not be a leap of faith and it would not be a courageous act of humanity; it would just be....a prudent insurance policy."

A morning chat (verse) to help her get all the negativity out of her body. ]]> 2018-11-26 13:44:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cdunn4923/fnau6dw73d73/wish/307758435 cdunn4923 https://padlet.com/cdunn4923/fnau6dw73d73/wish/315930728 Elizabeth Gilbert's actions all display her self. She is searching for something greater in lie. She takes negativity and turns everything positive. As she meets new people, explore new parts of the world, and encounters different problems each day; she learns to be grateful for aspect of life. Her actions could be described as bold and filled with bravery. Things she wants to gain as she decides to travel the world, all by herself. 

"I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching the highest potential."

She is described as a successful lady, but I believe hides all her anxiety behind a brave face. I think when she finally decides what she wants with her life, her look is her true self. She is described when traveling as being a bring light in other peoples eyes. Her constant laughter and smile inspires people.
