This is it!

So here we go!

This is my first actual blog!
I have started a couple but have yet to stick with it!
this time it is for real!!

To start off, I'm going to tell you a bout a book that i have just finished called The Alchemist.



The Alchemist.
Is a novel a bout a shepherd who leaves his duty's, to go in search of his personal legend.
on his journey he runs into a king, a gypsie, and an alchemist, who all help the boy on his journey to find his personal legend/personal treasure. It's a hard and and strenuous path, but if the boy keeps his head up and follows his heart, he will achieve everything. while gaining the knowledge, wisdom , and understanding of the world. (the universal language)

This book was awesome! from the moment i picked it up and began to read the first pages, i was hooked. There is a lot of wisdom in this novel from overcoming your fears, listening to your heart, understanding life, and how things strangely will happen for you if you just decide to do it! There is a little love scene in the book that i really liked.
It was the pure language of the World. It required no explanation, just as the universe need none as it travels through endless time. What the boy felt at that moment was that he was in the presence of the only women in his life, and that, with no need for words, she recognized the same thing. He was more certain of it than anything in the world. And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one's dreams would have no meaning.
The Alchemist
Santiago meets Fatima.

following your heart is the greatest thing.
"the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And know that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second’s encounter with God and with eternity."

Many great quotes, great wisdom. I highly recommend this book very inspirational, and a easy read. I finished the book in a bout 2 days!

Hopefully this wasn't to bad for a first time review/first blog.

I will be writing more blogs soon!!!
until than,
PIECE!
