Thank you Oprah!

You all know how tight lipped I am about religion. I hate talking about it around people who are religious. I hate talking about it to people who don't believe. Basically, if you are confused, I'll talk, or argue.
I've been watching a lot of Oprah. I don't know how it happens, but at least once a week I happen to be home around 4pm. I enjoy her fruify stuff, but today she had a guest on who wrote a book called, "Eat, Pray, Love". The woman basically had a breakdown and left her husband, went to Italy and ate good food, went to India to pray, and found a husband in Bali. I think.
I haven't read the book.
But, to hear these people talking about their souls instead of GOD didn't scare me. I understand what it means to feel at peace with myself, and the idea of spending time with myself and exploring crazy existential questions.
I really don't want to hit 30 or even 40 and not understand the big questions. Or, even just be on a journey to figure them out.
I'm not saying that I am vulnerable and you can try to convert me. I'm saying I'm going to read this book, and maybe it'll push me to pare down my work schedule, bump up my relationship time, my journal time, my alone time... my blogging time?
