As you can see in the graphic above, we are now with an average of half a million people visiting this blog. The mouse is showing March stats.
In the first 12 days in April (dot on the far right) , we had 202.736 unique visitors, more than in November 2008. If the trend continues, we are going to have over 550.000 in April.
There is a jump in August 2009 (when I put free books) and in May 2009 (when we had Arash’s issue) but from January 2010 the blog goes close to 600.000, and then stabilizes around 500.000 unique visitors per month.
So I would like to thank you for your strong support, and I am really looking forward to new ideas to implement here. Since July 2009 I decided to reduce the blog to 2 updates per week ( Wednesday and Sunday), and I kept the WOL community, that served its purposed and it is now closed.
For any new idea, please write to pilar_piedra@hotmail.com but it seems that the blog is fulfilling its task.
A BIG THANK YOU AGAIN
Love
Paulo

We should thank you sir, for you are doing such a great job writing such motivational and wonderful book and also giving your fans a privilege to directly be in touch with you (and read more of you) through this blog.
THANK YOU!

Thanks a lot for all the work & time you have spent on this blog: Paulo and all the helpers.
I find it again and again fascinating how this blog attracts people from all over the world. here are topics discussed that go beyond culture and let us see how similar but also how unique we are.
Thanks also for all the WOL’s posts.
Enjoy it <3

Yuppy…That calls for a treat Sir Angel…Congrats!!
I’m privileged , thankful and thoughtful in a way to connect with you,write to you and utmost to live in the era of you!!Thank you Sir and my hearty Congratulations!!
I wrote this some time ago, but I would like to dedicate it to your work. The same work that some may understand as a marketing concept, some may understand it as female writings and so on.
But I would like to dedicate this poem to what is underlying beneath it all.
Thank you for spreading some rays of it around the world. The paths are difficult and that is something that we can not avoid ; and we do realize that. Don’t worry.
There are listeners.
All the best in you life

The new
We are new. Never older.
Exempted from what they called an Ideal.
With faith in the abstract or more often without.
Aware and sad, empty and alone.
We are new.
We bring the End.
Not fit to create.
Aware, miserable and cold.
Give us some life – you old.
The Faith and the strength.
The new are on their death.
We don’t want the end!
A big thank you to you!
Congratulations dear Paulo and thank you for sharing this place with us!
Best wishes to you and this blog,
Barbara
All I know is that this Blog has been a blessing to me. I found again what I had lost…
I’d say that with a person like you it’s simply logic that you’d have this kind of results. ;)
SIMPLY LOGIC.
Regarding to me, I can say that I am a person who don’t like to have graduations or special names as a WOL for ex. heheh.
I like to feel and think about myself completely free from any kind of bound, names, superstitions, etc. :) But I know that you can’t escape from them in life.
And as I told someone of my friends here, I tend to get bored from things, and want to change continuously.
As it happened various times with facebook(even though I found a way to keep liking it), or twitter which I just opened an account, but it was difficult for me to get bored about this Blog, because there is so much love and light that we share.
Anyway! You want suggestions and I think that this is a great Idea. Everything needs to have some changes from time to time, but I am wondering about; on what do you need suggestions ? I mean, to have an idea a bit more concrete about that. Because in such cases even if I’d love to give a good suggestion I feel like I run out of ideas. ;op
Love <3

Dearest Paulo,
Wow, that is really something. Thank you for continually sharing with us your thoughts, ideas, and wisdom. I will send my suggestions to Pilar.
Congratulations and thank You.
With love,

Dear Paulo
Thank you very much for the Blog for all these years and for bearing and sharing your soul so publicly.
It is still like a journey for me. I don’t know if it will ever end, I just count each time that there is something wonderful to read as a blessing.
I remember when the blog first started and you showed pictures of things that interested you, your personality became embued through your texts and images, and that is right because it is your blog.
But perhaps the greatest beauty of this blog is that it is simply black and white, it both gives light and is absorbed by people seeking light, creating a brighter world.
Congratulations.
Love

Congratulations on the stats reaching the 1/2 million on this blog. WOW! this is quite a number. I have to say that this is one of the cleverest blog I have ever seen and you put so much into it.
I love the idea of getting on line and still being able to get an education -I am very lucky-.
Thank you master.
Love and beijos.

Good Job man
Olá Paulo,
O blog está mto bom e inspirador; retiro daqui textos e frases para meditação e sempre encontro algo que me ajuda na minha vida e caminhada espiritual. Somos, sobretudo, espírito, não é? num mundo material que precisa de nós e nós dele. O Paulo consegue fazer a junção destas duas características da alma humana, sabe transmitir esse poder, porque viver é bom, o que é preciso é saber viver.
Mas vim aqui hoje para lhe dizer que os seus livros têm uma característica que poucos têm, além de utilizar uma linguagem simples, mas não menos profunda, e envolvente, são livros aos quais se volta mais do que uma vez. Podemos ficar 3, 4 ou mais anos após a 1ª leitura mas é certo que regressaremos sempre a eles para os reler. Já li muitos livros seus, não todos, publicados pela Pergaminho, não me identifiquei com alguns, poucos, apenas dois, talvez pq a minha história pessoal não encontra paralelo neles, mas são livros que guardo com carinho e estão à mão e é sempre no tempo quente que gosto de os ler ou reler. Fica aqui o desabafo.
Uma linda Primavera, um Abraço :)
It’s wonderfull to read something write from somebody like you, a writer, but in the face of a simple man. It’s like you are an other friend in our messenger, in our mail list or in our address book.
I like to como here because you answer the comments and write for the people who read. Sorry my English, it’s not my language.
Keep writing and we will read you ever!
I regularly read the blog as others would read the daily newspaper. Each person who comments has their own beliefs, views and opinions on subjects that arise and it is so interesting to read through the comments on matters that I am interested in. The people who visit this blog are probably from almost every place in the world and I would love to see more of these 1/2 million people commenting here : )
Wouldn’t it be great if one day there was a subject open so each person could just say ‘hi’ say their name and where in the world they are reading from! : )
And strange also to think the comments I write are read by so many!!!!!!! : ) wow : )
It is an honor and a privilege to be one of those half a million visitors.
Thanks so much for letting your readers learn more about you personally. It is an inspiring experience for readers when they learn more about the author’s personal thoughts and experiences, and not only what his books express.
This is so good to observe. Speaks more to you than to me, since that blog is a creation of yours that responds to something of yours. Via that creation, I meet you and all those beautiful “friends”, and am nourished, inspired and comforted, called, etc … This is good news to you, and to me, sign that time and energy is changing. As Elaine, I miss though the interaction between the Warriors, and your input when possible for you to make with discernment. I am happy to have that interaction now via Facebook with some. For you that brings you to the conclusion that there is an indication that your blog for the moment is fulfilling its objectives, and that is true if we observe the diagram. What is there is the important thing is that it fulfills your objectives, your dreams, your visions since your are the one who responds upon a message, a calling. I am still there and will stay, because I too am a strong believer of the Warrior of Light Philosophy of Life and will remain, pursuing the task by transmitting to those who surround me. Will share if any ideas come to mind and to my heart pertaining to the blog.
Wish you a day.
I continue to pray for protection and guidance for you, your wife, your family, your staff and all the beautiful friends that I made and encounter on your blog … and yes, I pray the same for me too!
Love, Jojo.
I could not have said it better myself. I find myself coming to Paulo’s blog for inspiration, sometimes comfort and most importantly for some perspective. I thank you for posting and sharing your thoughts with the world.
Mil bendiciones para todos y abrazos desde Chicago.
♥♥
Paulo & A BIG THANK YOU for all the time you spend posting wonderful stories and reflections. Most of all, this blog gave me the opportunity to meet you live & kicking.
We love you to pieces,
Heart
Dear wonderful Paulo,
Please keep this wonderful blog and your choice of topics. Keep making yourself keen to the spirit so that you can come up with the perfect topic for the times. Just encourage us to make more replies to each blogger by boosting each other and loving each other through this blog. That is what is missing lately. I am guilty of this, sorry to you and the others.
Love and healing light to you,
Lainee

Dear Paulo Coelho, a … BIG THANK YOU, TO YOU!!
It is your aura and magic personality that has attracted us, your readers here in this HIVE of Wisdom, Warmth and LOVE.
I feel that it is a community, a ‘micro-cosmos’ of life, itself. We have shared ideas, news, joy, smiles, laughter, music, quotes, .. complains, fights, war and .. peace, but mostly, I feel, that we care for each other. We are your .. family; sometimes giving you .. worries too, I think. But this is how human relationships are established, rooted and .. flourish. To love and accept love and find the golden way of Balance and accepting different Ideas, Culture and Religion.
Thank you for your generosity.
LOVE and Blessings,
Thelma xxx
Thank you for giving us the oppotunity to be part of the magical world that involves you. Thank you for keeping open the blog.
Much love
Alexandra
wow!
Dear Paulo,
I think this is working because you are being honest through this site.
Here we can find interesting articles not just about you.
For me this site is an escape of common life, a place to share my thoughts and to meet wonderful people.
And being here helped me to acomplish one of my dreams.
So please keep doing it. I will let you know my suggestions. But it is clear you are on the good way.
Congratulations.
I wonder, how does it feel to know that so many people is here just waiting for your post?
