Amanda's HAPPINESS JAR!

Dear Liz, I have finally made my happiness jar! I'm not sure what your take on happiness jars are, but mine is simply putting in all things – past memories, present smiles and future dreams – that make me happy. I can't wait until the day I get to visit @[162840497185:274:Two Buttons] in person, and I wanted to say THANK YOU for Eat, Pray, Love. It has always been a solid source of my own happiness, I even own in it audio and paperback forms! Keep doing what you do and inspiring writers and passion-seekers like myself to persevere for the sake of their own sanity!

Eat Pray Love in Mexico!

Doña Eli, fue a principios de enero pasado cuando llegó a mis manos su multicitado Comer Rezar y Amar y he de confesarle que me ha resultado por demás interesante. El capítulo sobre Italia es realmente memorable. Le mando un afectuoso saludo desde la Ciudad de México.

POEM OF THE DAY.
I saw this poem today on an exhibit at the Detroit Institute of the Arts, and it moved me immensely…thought I would share it with you all.
Blessings, Liz

I met Emily on Wednesday at a charity event in New Jersey. She'd driven 5 hours that day to come! I'm so glad she did, and that I got to meet her. I loved hearing Emily's story of how she's completely changed her life in the last few years — how she has steadily left behind an existence that was deadening and unfulfilling (quitting a numbing job along the way, for instance, and trading it in for more passionate work) until at last she has been able to create a life that is truly modeled in her own image. This kind of stuff always makes me cry. There is no story in the world that I love hearing more than the story of a human being ceasing to negate herself, and stubbornly beginning to walk her own true path. Emily, you are wonderful and bold and lovely. It was an honor to meet you. May your journey be an inspiration to many others. ONWARD, and much love, Liz

So wonderful meeting you yesterday Liz ♥ I believe in magic too : ) In 2009, you were my '4 elephants walking through New York City when I just wanted to cry in a municipal building' only you came in the form of a book. I'm doing my best to pay it forward and manifest 'magic' for myself and others. You made my year!
