No new pictures today. It's been a packed two weeks since my last blog entry, but unfortunately with the exception of this past Thursday-Saturday, nothing that interesting to blog about. Monday after getting home from Berlin, Joel stayed home sick from Kindergarten (and I mean REALLY sick: he didn't...
Sooo I know I promised to read 50 books this year, and I AM well on my way but have been lax on updating. Here are my most recent reads: #10 The Little Friend by Donna Tartt -- I listened to this as an unabridged book on tape, read by the author, which I felt greatly enhanced the experience. I...

Se isso (A internet me deixou BURRO DEMAIS!, Folha) é verdade (e, fundo, todo mundo deve ter pelo menos meio motivo para achar que realmente é) eu não sei, mas você há de concordar que, quando fala '(...) praticamente não lêem. (...) preferem dedicar uma quantidade inacreditável de tempo a...

According to Paulo Coelho - The Alchemist - there are 4 obstacles to following your personal calling or dream. First, we're told from childhood that everything we want is impossible Second, love. We're afraid to hurt the people around us thinking that they will not approve of it or not love us if we...
"It will be just as good a day to die as any other." When I came across this, I understood it. It does not mean that I want to die right now, I just mean that I am content. I have no regrets. I feel enlightened, burden-less. I'm okay. Right now, I'm okay. I have a lot on my mind, but just day-to-day...
I am currently reading Paulo Coelho's manual of the warrior of light. He is the author of the alchemist. The book is like a Brazilian version of the Chinese art of war. I like to share 2 pages in the book that I found interesting. All the World's roads lead to the heart of the warrior; he plunges...
I just came across an article in Newsweek, "Free Speech" discussing Paulo Coelho's recent marketing tactics. It appears that to HarperCollins unawares, Coelho has been offering readers free downloads of his books, in languages from German to Japanese and everywhere in between. Coelho says that along...

OK... Its torn but its there. In the village Villacha, just outside of Portomarin I came across this huge South African flag and I stop in my steps because earlier today as I walked underneath strings and strings of small flags draped on a wire over the road I checked every one to see if there might...
Found Paulo Coelho mentioning meditation in his manual of the warrior of light. The warrior of light needs time to himself. And he uses that time for rest, contemplation and contact with the Soul of the World. Even in the midst of a battle, he manages to meditate. Occasionally, the warrior sits...
The second half of The Alchemist was not as enjoyable for me (much like Eva Luna), though I still would rate this book rather high on a scale of 1-5. But I certainly feel that I would be able to debate further with individuals outside of SPAN490 who have read The Alchemist to get a fresh opinion...
