Eat, Pray, Love

A coworker lent me her copy. I devoured this book in three nights. I have found another favorite author. I'm going to get my own copy one of these days. There's sooo much you can take away from it.

I've classified it under Travel because that's how I felt reading her work. Like I was traveling with her to Italy, India and Indonesia.

Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married

When eight married college friends reunite for their annual retreat in the snowcapped mountains of Colorado, they come expecting fun and relaxation, but get a completely unexpected surprise. Career-driven Dianne and her supportive, but fed-up husband, Terry, are joined by popular psychologist and best-selling author Patricia and her architect husband Gavin, who share a secret tragedy that finally comes to light, while Angela and Marcus argue constantly, but remain in love. Also in attendance is their good friend Sheila, a sweet woman with a distorted self-image stemming from weight issues that are exacerbated by her emotionally abusive and philandering husband, Mike. Unlike any other year, this trip changes the dynamic of the group with two new additions: Sheila's supposed girlfriend, Trina, who is secretly sleeping with her husband; and Troy, an ex-Wall Street stockbroker who has put his career on hold to care for an ailing father.

There are two scenes worth remembering in this film:
1.) When the four men were playing pool and discusisng the 80/20 rule. This rule suggests that you only get 80% of what you need from your spouse or partner. Someone else may come along with the remaining 20%. The problem is when you're willing to leave that 80 for the 20. Tsk tsk!

2.) Towards the end when Sheila was sharing with the rest of the women what she has discovered about herself. It was quite empowering!!!!!
