The Alchemist

I read The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho this weekend.  This is the best book I have ever read. It resonated with  my soul. It is a must read.... READ READ read ..you have to. I implore you all..! It is about following your heart, written as a fable . It felt as though I were somehow reading my own life.  The weekend was gorgeous, I took Spot, a picnic and the book to the park. We stayed all day in a secluded spot by the lake.  It was as wonderful as a day can get.  The sun, the wind, the water , the earth were all there as I realized how much nature means to me. I was the sun...wind....earth...water. What a feeling!

  1. Sounds great Pam. The book too sounds intersting. Right now I'm reading Little Bee but haven't had time to get back to it. I'm 3/4 done. I might look into The Alchemist, sounds good. Take care.

  4. I've been meaning to read that book for a while now. Might pick it up at the library after I'm done with my current book.
    Sounds like you had a perfect day by the lake.

    I love the thought of reading under a tree...with snacks...alone! Haven't had that chance since I was...5? 6?
