I'm Baaaaack!!! The Alchemist

I've decided to revamp my blog a bit and make some changes here and there.

Some disheartening matters occured over the past week which made me question if I should have my blog up and running. After careful contemplation, I've decided to get back on it. I love to write and I refuse to let anything stop me from expressing my thoughts.

Plus, it couldn't hurt that I was watching the movie "Julie & Julia" tonight which enthused me to get back on my blog. I had to stop watching it though as I do have to get ready to attend a friend's birthday tonight.

So, what's going on in my life? A whole lot of reading!!! While I've delved into the realm of meditation and yoga over the past few months, I've been blessed to have found some interesting reads along the way.

First book that I must recommend to read is "The Alchemist"by Paulo Coelho. I'm sure you've heard of it from either Oprah, seen it on the best-sellers list or just from a friend in general.



I found this novel to be very inspiring and trust me when I say that IT IS an easy read.

 It's a story about a young Spanish shepherd and his quest for hidden treasure. Along the way he encounters some influential people who help him see the signs to help him find what he is seeking.

 This book was recommended by a friend who was insistently convincing that it would change my outlook on life. While at the time, I did appreciate the read, I didn't find it to be life-changing. However, I did find it to be refreshing, inspirational and a beautiful spiritual journey. If you haven't read it... go get yourself a copy. You won't regret it.
