Paulo Coelho blog

Paulo Coelho is one of the most famous writers in the whole world…born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. …he has sold over 100 million books in over 150 countries worldwide and his works have been translated into 66 languages “big number..I know” ….he is one of the United Nations Messengers of Peace raising global awareness of the world body’s work and ideals..which is considered a really wonderful thing..the reason why I wrote about him today is that I found out that his book “Brida” which was published 1990 became available for anybody to read online for free…so check the book out its a really amazing Novel that will just amaze you :) …..you can check it out by clicking on the widget in the sidebar of my blog.

This is the story of Brida, a young Irish girl, and her quest for knowledge. She has long been interested in various aspects of magic but is searching for something more. Her search leads her to people of great wisdom, who begin to teach Brida about the spiritual world. She meets a wise man who dwells in a forest, who teaches her about overcoming her fears and trusting in the goodness of the world; and a woman who teaches her how to dance to the music of the world, and how to pray to the moon. As Brida seeks her destiny, she struggles to find a balance between her relationships and her desire to become a witch. This enthralling novel incorporates themes that fans of Paulo Coelho will recognize and treasure—it is a tale of love, passion, mystery, and spirituality from the master storyteller.

books : The green book

what’s better than learning how to protect the environment than reading the tips that our beloved Celebrities wrote for us in a small, green book, which they called “The Green Book”, Ellen DeGeneres, Robert Redford, Will Ferrell, Jennifer Aniston, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Martha Stewart, Tyra Banks, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Tiki Barber, Owen Wilson, and Justin Timberlake tell you how they make a difference to the environment, what I do love about that book, that most of those guys are hypocrites, but they are hypocrites with good information, like for example, Dale Earnhardt,Jr. is a NASCAR driver, what does he do? he drives cars, cars run on what? cars run on fuel, which pollutes the air so BINGO here’s a hypocrite, and just please don’t let me start talking about the other guys, but lets just keep it away from our review for today, the book did state some interesting facts, which personally I don’t think that most of those celebrities actually wrote any tip by themselves, but here are the interesting facts that I was talking about :

- Don’t ask for ATM receipts. If everyone in the United States refused their receipts, it would save a roll of paper more than two billion feet long, or enough to circle the equator fifteen times!

- Turn off the tap while you brush your teeth. You’ll conserve up to five gallons of water per day. Throughout the entire United States, the daily savings could add up to more water than is consumed every day in all of New York City.

so thanks guys for saving time to “write” that book for us, it has been a great mind opener for us, and thanks for helping us be more green :) .

Things that matter & Losers List: War and its impact & Miss Teen South Carolina

War is the most common thing you hear on the news today, war for oil, war for America’s presidency,Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell war, “I’m Hot” war between the retarded girls from Hollywood”Imagine who :) “, as teenagers, we have to understand the way our world is running now, not like when a Miss Teen South Carolina answered the question “why don’t most of the American people don’t know where America is?”…she said that they don’t have maps, and kept referring to “The” Iraq and South Africa, which by the way doesn’t start with “The”, okay, Miss Dumb, the reason why they don’t know, is that they need to have time to read, to know stuff, not because they don’t have maps! well, back to our subject, I read in the news about teenagers that made campaigns that say NO to war, and that’s a good thing, our voice is heard, and thats the main thing, take care guys, and every now and then just read a book!
