One day in google I wrote Paulo Coelcho name. And, thx got, then I found this wonderful blog. This blog give me a lot of inspiration.I found a lot of sentences wich makes me smile after hard work, studies and give me strength.
Today I was really sad, but i know…My happines is hiding to the next corner…May i found it tomorow?…may not…it depends on ourselves? May yes…may not..I am trying to find the answer…
But the answer is now such – I need man, man who can give me happines, because world without love is so cold and dark.There are no need to speak about happines, when you don’t have the main thing – love…
To Susan, Natalie, and B Sophie
thanks you for your kind and loving word in response to my post last week, which comforted me
love Anthony
- Pórtico -
Desde a antiguidade, Pórtico é um deus que, ao ser saudado, retribui com o frescor dos começos. Para obter esta benção é preciso entender que, em cada momento, existe uma passagem.
É uma brecha no tempo. Um espaço presente que Pórtico contempla quem em seus afazeres traz na alma esta antiga canção:
“Senhor, não nos deixe esquecer porque começamos”
beijos,
Here a song I like now.

Dearest Paulo, I want to thank you so much…How would I say that…Only thanks to your books I know about Sufi dance, about many other things. I would be much more stupid if I would never read your books. So, special thanks. Love, Alexandra
Wow, Mary Ann, I like the song so much, Rod Steward is really unique. Deedee, I am against drugs, they destroy too many people, and now even in schools…
From my latest blog on Self-Responsibility in relationships:
…So many times we take responsibility where we don’t need to, or the opposite, we expect others to take responsibility of our well-being. I am not referring to financial responsibility. I am discussing personal responsibility for whatever our needs may be. It could be so subtle, that we don’t even realize it. It could be an assumption we made the day we got married, e.g., he’ll be a good provider, he’ll take care of me, she’ll make a good mother and take care of our children, I will take care of our family, etc. What these assumptions do, is set up an invisible agreement between two people where one person has given their power to the other…

I think I’m a little off today! Say hello to Savoy for me!
Bring it up!
It’s kind of sad,people selling drugs like they would sell sweets.
You find lots of shit on line especially,even dangerous stuff as valium for cheap.Wow,what a world we’re living in!It’s kind of sad too that doctors have an easy hand on prescription,a pill for everything,”you’re a bit low,take that pill!” and lots of people getting caught into a vicious circle that don’t seem to stop apparently.But how we can do to stop this?How?Tell who?Do what?
Since when a pill does make you feel better?Nonsense!
I never take pill,not for headache,not for anything,it’s really rare.
Not everything a doctor is giving you is good,you know.Doctors are just as imperfect as all of us.Sometimes,they are wrong.And there can be false doctors as well,it happens all the time.
Hi Paulo and everyone
I like the idea of signs and omens and I’ve tried to listen to these in different situations as I’ve seen the heroes of Paulo’s books doing. However, today in the morning a certain ‘doubt’ stopped me saying what if these are not the proper signs? or what if you are actually misinterpreting the signs? coz we always see what we want to see and hear what we want to hear!! To be honest, this is not the first time I have these thoughts, which every time I answer saying: time will prove if am right or wrong in understanding these signs! but sometimes I need an immediate answer!
However, I thought of sharing these with you today coz am sure you’ve been through this and would like to know what do you do in the face of these doubts that threaten your trust in signs and their interpretations!
(for example: I had a dream last night about something I’m trying to forget about and remove from my life and in the morning someone -a random person- asked me why am I actually removing it from my life! I was a bit offended coz it is personal but for a second I thought, ‘is this a sign?!!!’)
Thank you very much and look forward to hearing your thoughts.

I’d like to offer a different view on the problem of alcoholism. In a certain sense, we are all alcoholics. Please follow the link below to see if you agree:

“after he died, no one came to claim him.”
we must not forget that a lot of people with mental illness have an alcoholic problem too, from what I have seen into mental hospital – not many people come and visit them – that seems to fit the picture.
Thanks for that article.
I am sailing, I am sailing,
home again, across the sea
I am sailing, stormy waters,
to be near you, who can’t say
I am flying, I am flying,
like a bird, across the sky
I am flying, passing high clouds,
to be near you, who can’t say
Can you hear me, can you hear me,
through the dark nights, far away
I am dying, forever crying,
to be near you, who can’t say
(I heard this song by Rod Stewart in 1976. I was 16 years old and had measles. During this song my fever went up 2 degrees Celsius.)
