So in 2015, I had to travel to Panama (thousands of miles from where I live)  for work where I met up with different people from other countries. I instantly bonded with a young lady, who was very grounded, religious ( atleast what I gathered from our conversations) and appeared to be one of these people who seemed to have it 'all figured out'. She was in her late 20's, happily married with two children. She explained to me how much pride she took in her family, and though very career oriented, her family remained her number one goal. I thoroughly enjoyed her genuineness and I was in such awe at how she seemed to have 'everything'.

Fast forwarding to now, my recent situation has really put focus on what I truly want, that is a husband and children of my own and for some reason she came to mind. I have been one of these people who were fed the studied hard, get a great paying job and everything will fall in place after. Here I am, studied hard, got the good paying job ( although theres always room for more lol) yet I want more...and what is calling me is to tend to a family of my own..it may sound so strange to some!

Anyway, I remembered a few days ago on the taxi heading to the airport to leave Panama, she had a book and the cover caught my interest. It was the Alchemist, I asked her about it and she said it's a book that makes you realize that anything is possible. Though fascinated, I wasnt fascinated enough to look for it myself because though my life was not a bed of roses at the time, I really didnt know what exactly I wanted out of life! Ever since this year started, it has been trying and testing for me. I have been able to find such enlightenment and I feel myself growing in it everyday. I felt this STRONG urge that I needed to find  this book. Last night, I concluded the book and the rush of anything is possible I felt literally gave me chills. I was wide awake brimming with possibility. This was the exact book I needed at the exact time! that was not coincidence..that was not coincidence how I had to be thousands of miles away to discover this book only to pop back up two years later. wanna know the cool part...when I checked my calendar, I went on this trip the a week before Valentine's February 2015. Last night, I finished this book a week before Valentine's February 2017

Maybe things have to come full circle for us to truly learn the language of the universe. Maybe this is how it prepares us for the wonderful things in store if we continue trusting. If anyone knows how this book ends, it surely has a twist to show us sometimes in order for us to have find the hidden treasures right in front of us, we need to learn ourselves all over.  “And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
