WCSWANS members and non-members met at Alcheldo’s in Tiverton, RI to discuss the book Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. What a great group of women who attended! As I indicated at the meeting, meetings like this are why I started WCSWANS. We had some great laughs and such insightful discussion! Discussions related to the book themes as well as the how the book related to our own lives. It seems that while many woman could not afford to travel around the world they could relate to Elizabeth’s inner journey. Many women can relate at some point in their life to Elizabeth’s feeling of being stuck and yet trying to meet the expectations of society. But as Elizabeth modeled, we realize we have a choice in our life in how we perceive it and how we live it. I couldn’t possibly be able to try to share the many insightful comments shared by each attendee. However, I would love for individuals to share comments about the book and/or the event in the comment section below.
Thank you to Alcheldo’s for the great food and space for the event. Thank you to all the ladies who attended who shared their thoughts and themselves at this event! Thank you also to the Providence Journal to for taking pictures and doing a story about our discussion event for the Sunday paper!
