Dear
Reader
I
have been reading a couple of great books, so thought I would do a book
review this month, instead of a short article. Reading someone
else's story is so often enormously inspiring, and you will find this
true of these two books. Eat
Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert - absolutely brilliant Freakonomics
by Stephen Levitz and Steven Dubner
- simply fascinating Salsa
and Zouk have just come to a close, and Argentine Tango finishes next
week, while bootcamp training is ongoing. So, life is still busy
and fun! I'm booking in for more Tango classes, and dropping off
the others at the moment so that I can improve my tango more
quickly. Just when you think you are getting the hang of
something, there is more to learn and get your head around.
Sometimes we just need to get out of our own way and our own self-doubt,
and yes, dear Reader, sometimes that happens to me too! At
those times, I ask myself what is the purpose of this? Usually my
inner child is seeking reassurance, or some hand-holding which means I
haven't put in enough praise and positive feedback, or my ego is beating
me up for not being good enough.... Eek. So,
repeat with me, "I am good enough, I learn new things easily and
quickly, my mind and body are good at learning and
remembering." The more intellectual you are, and the more you
ignore your emotions, the harder this concept will be for you to take on
board. As I always say, if your mind could have solved these
problems you wouldn't need to see me, now would you?" In
ten day's time (departing Saturday 27th March) I am taking a week's
holiday to Fiji provided it is still standing after Cyclone Tomas.
My thoughts and prayers are with this South Pacific nation that everyone
is okay, first and foremost because they have been getting an absolute
pummelling. Stay
well and healthy, be all you can be, do all you can and have what you
want!
Warmest
wishes Narelle
PS,
if you have a great easy recipe that you would like to share, please email
me with it. I'm running out of ideas!

Eat,
Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and
Indonesia
by
Elizabeth Gilbert
This
book is wonderful! It is a woman's true story of a messy divorce
from the husband she didn't hate, but didn't want to be with any
more. It's about her depression and her helpful ways of dealing
with it, her ex-lover, and the guru she
met because of her ex-lover. She goes to Italy, then to India to
her Guru's Ashram so it includes her troubles with meditation and going
within (something many of us have experienced) and her learning
experiences there. Months later, she travels to Bali to spend time with
Ketut the medicine man - who has forgotten who she is despite having
invited her to spend a few months with him and his family!
This
is an emotional journey that gains calm and clarity and peace as it
progresses, and of course love, while offering much wisdom
throughout. Elizabeth writes superbly with many interesting and
expressive turns of phrase that just nail things down.
The
movie is in production and Julia Roberts will play Elizabeth, so I am
looking forward to that. There is also a sequel, Committed:
A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage
which I have yet to read.
Freakonomics:
A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything
is a fascinating account of oddball answers to even more oddball
questions. For example, if it wasn't gun control or community groups that
caused the dramatic reduction in the crime wave of the 90's in America,
then what was it? Or, why do drug dealers still live at home with
their Mums? Or, what are the 5 worst words to use when selling
real estate?
Economist
Steven D. Levitt and writer Stephen Dubner collaborate to bring you this
brilliant book that uses statistics at its heart, to give you the
answers to these intriguing questions. Relax, it is an easy read,
and one that you can dip into over and over again. It really is
fascinating.
Master's
Wisdom!
