I believe that when we look for love courageously, it reveals itself, and we attract even more love. If one person really wants us, everyone does. But if we’re alone, we become even more alone. Life is strange…

“A model's routine” a fairy tale?A Charles Perrault one then!lol
Yes we can't measure love it isn't measurable.We all know that by now,no?:)
Thelma -
Yep! the name nearly escaped me. you are right it is” Collagen.”
Wow! tu es une m amie branchee.
What is your favorite cream and perfume in a virtual world everything is allowed….
Gone play with my Yoyo. helps me to rie lax.
:)
My dearest Alexandra, train your patience and do it twice a day! Sun-cream is like a … dress, most important because of the hole of the ozone!
Deep cleansing at night is the .. breathing for the skin!
Once, I had to have a major operation. I also had anaemia..
Do you know what I took first thing with me at the clinic?? My .. beauty box!! ;] To keep my spirit up and, maybe, die beautiful!! Ha,ha!! When the doctor came before the operation to .. encourage me and looked at my,, perfume and creams on .. display there, he smiled..
Vanity of vanity everything is vanity, dearest Paulo Coelho!!
LOVE,
Thelma.
Dearest Annie, I love you, calling me Mámma!!!
My dear Marie-christine, do you mean Collagen?? ;]
The funny thing with getting old is that our eyesight is not so sharp any more! I say, this is God’s prudence!! I see everybody .. without wrinkles! It is the inner beauty shown in the … aura! Sweetness of expression. ;]
LOVE,
Thelma.
Thanks dear Thelma. The big problem is that I have no patience, and maximum I use a day cream once o day…I never had so much money to buy expensive creams, but I noticed that eating healthy food and going in nature helps a lot. The other thing that help is feeling loved , and sport, as well peace of mind. I had a model I was willing to copy, in my childhood I saw a picture with Nefertari, or Nefertiti an ancient wife of Pharaoh. Well, I admire her still, but no more desire to look like her, better to improve my own semblance.
Much much Love,
Alexandra
Dear All
I’m highly inspired by the Alchemist and a big fan of Paulo.
The following is extract from my recent blog:
….Now, his perception towards boss had taken 360 degree turn. Yesterday, who he considered the conspirator suddenly turned into an angel. In the middle of this financial crisis, he had another, better job in hand.
You too must have had a few face-hiding experiences like Siddhant’s. Mostly in life our mind intends to run unilaterally. Usually when obsessed with negativity, our mind architects thousands of negative castles to justify our feeling and we ignore all the good deeds the other person has done to us. Many times it gets so deep that we consider others including God, the conspirator. But, most of the time,the other people and things around are not as bad.
If you take a holistic approach and maintain cool, you will find it Better Than You Think.

A way to invest in your future and to get that special cream that will enhance your face and diminish the wrinkles is available from the Chemist.
Starts with a Colla… yep a bit like a collage, rub it all around your face and it gives you that appearance you always wanted (no, not the prune look one) the one with the firm and elastic skin one.
Get in early. Cost only a few $ and it does the trick.Satisfaction guaranteed.
Mamma Thelma, you are simply amazing!!! thank God creams cant hide our True Beauty! (L)
Love and Graditude

Hi Alexandra!! To clean the skin twice a day is important for the skin to breath.. Then to put a cream for hydrating and nourishing the skin and ..around the eyes and lips. During the day always put on a sun-protection cream.. This is enough and a good routine. ;] Not the 1000 euros cream..
There were very many … ‘funny creams’ in ancient times of Cleopatra and in Ancient Rome.., I was watching once a film and had a good laugh.
The elixir of life and beauty!
I would prefer the Elixir of Love. ;]
LOVE,
Thelma.
About face creams, I try so many, very few I can say truly works. Sometimes when I go shopping, and see an expensive face cream I make jokes, asking the shop assistant how many years I will look younger if I use the cream, for that price must take me away at least some years…All fake promises, creams help but not much. I saw in Italian news how women behave in these hard crises times. They give up all other expenses, but the cosmetics or hairdressing not.In a shop they (from tv) asked wich the more expensive cream. Was one that cost more than 1000 euros, and was bought by many ladies.
The story with the blind man… I am on your side. Love, Alexandra
Alexandra, thank you too! The joke for my … creams and age, or the real story of the poor blind man?
The story of the Blind man, applies to everyone of us. We want to look beautiful for the others, who look at us. Because we want and need to .. be loved!!
Love,
Thelma.
ha ha ha, Thelma, thanks for the joke.
I have already read ‘The winner stands alone’. Now my mother is reading and enjoying it, then it is my sister’s turn and goes around to family and friends..
Thank you Paulo Coelho for the new ‘treasure’ in my library and my soul. Every person a different cosmos..
From the notes above, I think, it is not only the model’s life with those ‘peculiar’ ways and frustration.. I believe this happens in every profession. It has also penetrated in every aspect of our lives! Regarding … creams and cosmetics, I have to admit that it is a routine for me too!! I never go to sleep without cleaning the teeth and … face!! I think they have worked beautifully !! My face does not show my … age!! :] At least they tell me so..
Yes all we need is love, but we need to .. like ourselves and love us too. Remember the mirror.. I read once a real story: A blind man went to the plastic surgeon and asked for a .. hair transplant. The doctor was curious and asked him. You a blind man why ?? Yes, he said, but others see me!!
We want to be loved too.
LOVE,
Thelma.
Dearest Florentina, i think you should consider if after all it was your path..All of them, fortunately or unfortunately, they have their price..If one is a model, then he pays the price of being a model.if another is a teacher, he pays the price of being a teacher..
Thank you very much for this post , dear Paulo, i have read that anorexia nervosa is an epidemic the last years..many many girls are unfortunately in a struggle to be perfect, to be thin, and they commit a rather great level of energy into that, missing everything else ..i think it is like smoking, or drugs, its difficult to quit this obsession when it becomes a routine, but i totally believe in CHANGE
Beuty begins within
Love and Graditude

You are love*
Dearest Paulo,
Two things:
First – You have set me on the path of following my dreams (for better and for worse) with a small article on the same subject that appeared in (ironically enough) a fashion magazine way back in 1990. Back then, I was a model. If you had done your homework as thoroughly as you should, you would have also talked to the people who book these models the jobs, i.e. the modeling agencies themselves. You would have added the extra dimension of depth (and not just breadth) to your story. For example, when I modeled (in the 1990’s) the models were cut down to size by their own agency in the following way: “Now remember girls, you’re nothing more than a glorified hanger.” I ask, how could you not get a complex when even the people who pimp you bite the hand that feeds them?
2. Re: “Sometimes people dont understand why I use the term Warrior of Light since Im engaged in a kind of confrontation with life.” Paulo, you need to read Mark Twain’s interpretation of this phenomenon. He termed it being at the mercy of Circumstance and his own personal Temperment which Circumstance always used to move him forward. The same Circumstance would have no affect on anyone else since no one else has the same Temperment hence, act as him. It’s a wonderful logical analysis, right up your alley, Paulo……….
Homogenized,
Florentina
After reading this page I almost felt lucky to be a normal person.
Yes sometimes the “allure” of fame is absolutely wrong and inconsistent.
But it has also positive aspects.
Maybe they’re not so many as normal peole think.
Have a nice day.
Particular greetings to Paul (I often think about him even if I don’t know him)
Come on Paul climb the Cebreiro!
The revelation of glamour Paulo
Tres bien*
Love is measured by its fruits
Let`s go beyond the limits*

Yes we can’t measure love it isn’t measurable.We all know that by now,no?:)
Where is my comment? I wrote in a wrong place.
Anyways, about love , I agree love cant be small or big, I can agree only with “Big” term, because is a feeling that usually take our soul and get it higher , near to God. But intensity might be different, I guess.
“Listen! there’s a hell of a good Universe next door : Let’s go”

I like to think that if I can watch the sun straight in the eye,as we can not look at God;
I watch the sunlight that reflects the moon,like Mary reflects the divine light;
then I look at the stars and talking to my guardian angel that I feel every day at my side;and I put my head on your shoulder, Mary, to comfort my soul…
and I look my way is drawing on the sands of time;
and I expect that you will guide me, Lord, love to help.
and to love more and more . Sido
