I’ve been a little bit chicken-with-head-cut-off this week, and it shows in the killer dust-bunnies rolling around at home. In the aftermath of the wedding show I’ve had meetings every day this week, watched a lighting workshop, finalizing details for the boudoir marathon, and doing lots of behind the scenes stuff to have all my systems in place before wedding season starts again. It feels a bit breathless, but I enjoy it.
In the midst of all that, I sat down to watch Elizabeth Gilbert’s TED talk. Until last year I didn’t know much about Gilbert except that “Eat, Pray, Love” was a success and cultural zeitgeist, and that a lot of people inexplicably find her annoying. Eventually I decided to read “Eat, Pray, Love” and was somewhat surprised to find that I enjoyed it. Really enjoyed it. I’m currently reading “Committed,” and I’m enjoying that too. My preconceptions duly corrected, I now have a lot of theories about why Gilbert doesn’t play well – they’re all tied to feminism and projection, so I’ll spare you – but here’s the TED talk. I liked it, too.
