Small Acts of Kindness and Love

What if we spent less time trying to make our life better than everyone else's? And instead we spent more time trying to making everyone else's life better?

Will you pursue your Personal Legend?

           As I prepared to visit a dear friend of mine in windy Chicago, I decided to dust off a book I had put away for some years. Many told me to read this beloved book, “The Alchemist”, but I was too distracted by the business of life to delve into the pages that contemplated life in a fictitious, yet very real manner. As I sat crammed in between two passengers on a plane bound for Chicago, I entered into the land of Andalusia with a young boy named Santiago and was instantly enchanted by his quest to discover his Personal Legend and treasure. You will not find many plot spoilers here (for you should also put off business to read this rather rare gem), but a brief highlight of how this book wrestles with the all too familiar question of why we should listen to our heart.
