From The Team Blog (with my answers):
Alchemy.
What does it mean? Is it the transformation to lead into gold is it about something more magical, like a broken spirit or lost heart in the dark rising into the sunlight full of understanding and whole. Either way alchemy is a magical process and a journey of the hopeful, of those willing to believe in the miraculous impossible.
Many of you may have read Siona's post about our book giveaway to celebrate the famous book by one of Gaia's favorite authors, Paulo Coelho. It's been on the New York Times Bestseller's list for two years and a Gaia favorite since our launch in 2006. If you haven't read the book yourself, we highly recommend it, but even if you haven't you can share in this week's Friday Five about transformation, journeying, and turning darkness into light.
Please share with us....
1) Do you believe in miracles?
I guess it depends on how you define miracles. I believe I am alive. I believe in Love. I think these are miracles.
2) Name one place that you have been that has felt magical, brought you peace or comforted you?
Boulder is magical :)
3) Name one thing you treasure?
The fact that whether or not I am here able to share it in my own unique way... Love remains.
4) In one to five words, name one place, person, event or thing that has felt magical to you or cheered your heart.
My 30th Birthday Celebrations on Gaia.
5) In less than 10 words, if you had one wish to go to somewhere or be with someone, from any time where would it be or who would you visit? (Go with your instinct :)
I would choose to be with my future wife, so I could start now with telling her how much I adore her, how much I love her, how beautiful she is, how much her presence makes the world a better place, and how ten words could never even come close to adequately covering the depth and breadth of her importance to the universe.
Let's open our hearts and explore :)
