The Witch of Portobello

≡ Category: Culture, Diet, Media |

If you haven’t read the The Witch of Portobello by Paulo Coelho… take time out to read it. Some may find it a mind-blowing spiritual approach to life. Others may find it a great narrative.

One passage that will win over many a plussie says,

“We don’t need to be thin. We buy books, we go to gyms, we expend a lot of brain power on trying to hold back time, when we should be celebrating the miracle of being here in this world. Instead of thinking about how to live better, we’re obsessed with weight.”

    Hello!
    I’m also a big Paulo Coelho fan and I don’t know if you heard about his blog
    http://www.paulocoelhoblog.com
    I’ve started as a fan and now I’m collaborating with him and thought that you would like to enter his universe.
    Check the blog, if you want, or subscribe to his newsletter
    http://www.warriorofthelight.com/engl/index.html

    You’ll see a community of warriors of light sharing ideas, dreams and most importantly following their personal legend.
    QUOTE OF THE DAY:
    “For the Warrior of Light
    there is no such thing as an impossible love.
    He is not intimidated by silence,
    indifference or rejection.
    He knows that,
    behind the mask of ice that people wear,
    there beats a heart of fire.
    Without love, he is nothing.”

    See you there and have a great day!
    Aart
