Hi Jonathan,
Life really is miraculous and magical.
Paulo Coelho’s book The Alchemist happened to me in real life!!!!!!!!!

I lived in Andalusia, Spain, and had a powerful dream after visiting my favourite ruin overlooking the Mediterranean. I am not a shepherd, and when this happened I had never heard of The Alchemist.

Fifteen years later I have written the book about my journey.
TREASURE – A Soul Journey with The Alchemist.

I have contacted Paulo to tell him.
It will be out in April this year. For more information, my website will come out in April too. http://www.goinggreek.org
Much love
Karen xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

“When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too” by Paulo Coelho is one of my favorite lines in the Alchemist. It touches on what is true, which is that we as individuals have the choice to make our lives “better.” We can lead lives consisting of dreams fulfilled and goals accomplished. Choosing to exude positive energy can and will lead one to exist in a better place in this life.

Always heard about the book but never got a chance to read it till this past festive season,decided to get the book & finish it before the yr end,cause i knew there were some profound truths & principles that i can carry with me into the new yr.

I stayed up all night reading the alchemist,when I realised i was halfway through i tried to read as slowly as possible so I dont finish,sad to say Ive finished it in less than 48 hours.

Its such an enlightening book I havent stopped talking bout it.

This yr i decided not to set any resolutions but like young Santiago I pledged to listen to my heart & follow my dreams!!!

Alchemist is very good book, I like it so much. I learn a lot from Paulo’s book. Currently I’m reading “The Winner Stands Alone”.. can’t hardly wait to finish it ^_^

Paolo Coelho has such a talent to write with simple and small words that penetrate the soul with amazing ease.
