The Proverbs says: "A happy heart is a good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries the bones." (Proverbs 17:22 AMP)

Being a Woman, she is called Salt of the Earth and Light of the World because she believes that a happy disposition begets positive aura, inviting the cosmos to dance her own beat.

This is the opening story in one of our Departmental Meetings in school. I have only modified it to suit what I intend to convey.

There was once a young woman who walked along the streets boasting to every soul she meets how perfect her heart is.

Another lady approached her, somewhat feeling envious, "How did you maintain such a perfect looking heart?" she asked.

The young woman replied, even prouder because by now, a little crown is gathering around her, "I just watch over it everyday. Careful that nobody touches it. I make sure that others stay in a distance so they would not be able to leave imprints on my heart. The more that I don't let anyone hold it. They might just drop my heart and break it into pieces. And lastly, I encase it in a metal casket that it may remain cold and preserved, not exposed to too much warmth."

A woman knows how much blessings she receives and she appreciates the down pour of every rain, as well as the heat of too much sun. Because when God created woman, His design was so special.

God was working late on the 6^th day when an angel came by and said, "Why spend so much time on that one?"

And the Lord answered, "Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her?"

This is a presentation passed on to me by a friend through e-mail. I wish to share it to you as prologue of my newly conceived e-book inspired by Women I know, personally and not. They have inspired me one or the other in their struggles and wisdom. To my few visitors: "Spread on the news. Send to women you know this site, that they would be reminded how special they are in the eyes of God. Send this too, to men you know so they too would appreciate the women in their lives."

I have always been amazed about how powerful words could be. The effect oftentimes is so magical that even the most difficult people become so amazingly cooperative and sweet; the stone-hearted become so forgiving; the hopeless become a bearer of hope and goodwill and the wounded warrior becomes a light to others.

In as much as I have finished reading Paulo Coelho's The Pilgrimage, last night, I started another book he authored (Now it isn't much obvious I am a certified Coelho fan!) entitled Warrior of the Light: A Manual.

This book is an inspirational companion to The Alchemist, an international bestseller that has beguiled millions of readers around the world. Every short passage invites us to live out our dreams, to embrace the uncertainty of life and to rise to our own unique destiny. In his inimitable style, Paulo Coelho helps bring out the Warrior of the Light within each of us. He also shows readers how to embark upon the way of the Warrior: the one who appreciates the miracle of being alive, the one who accepts failure, and the one whose quest leads him to become the person he wants to be.

  translated from the Portuguese by Margaret Jull Costa

The Warrior knows that he is to choose his desires, and he makes these decisions with courage, detachment, and sometimes, with just a touch of madness.

To Mr. Paulo Coelho, your book, Warrior of the Light: A Manual gave birth to an idea of which I shall dedicate to all the women, present and departed in this life -- with their struggles of being and with life. Hope you would understand that each time, I would be referring to a line or two, or a passage lifted from your book. I also wish that you get to appreciate this labor of love. Thank you.

Read on my readers. Follow this link in my newly conceived site:
