This weekend I saw the much-anticipated movie based on Elizabeth Gilbert’s best selling book, Eat, Pray, Love. The story is based on Gilbert’s own Pleap of all Pleaps (Pink leap of faith) -- for a year following her divorce she lived first in Italy, then India, and finally in Bali. Her goal was to find herself and learn to live again.

Like many who have read her book, I envied Gilbert for the courage to take this journey -- not just to these foreign countries, but to the foreign land of giving up control and giving into universal love. I loved the book and was eagerly anticipating the film version.

Today, my book proposal goes to the editorial board at St. Martin’s Press, which means that a group of publishing experts who have read what I wrote will hash out whether it resonates with them enough to commit to buying my book.

Have you read Eat, Pray, Love yet? Chances are, if you're here at Owning Pink, you have. (If not, get ye to a bookstore, right away!) Here she is, talking about creativity at the TED Talks. Brava, Liz! We love you!
