Hello Beautiful Gaians,
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?
2) Name one place that you have been that has felt magical, brought you peace or comforted you?
3) Name one thing you treasure?
4) In one to five words, name one place, person, event or thing that has felt magical to you or cheered your heart.
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 :)
Let's open our hearts and explore :)

Thanks, Jessica! Posted mine here :)
Thank you, Jessica. I posted mine HERE.
I experience miracles everyday, from the moment I wake up. The line in the movie “Field of Dreams” was right…if you build it they will come…but be patient…many things will pop in to make you turn back…don't:)
As my friend Thomas once said (he may be the author, maybe not) When the world says, “Give up,”
Hope whispers, “Try it one more time.”
To Miracles.

Thank you all for your beautiful responses.
Sugar, that's beautiful. I often forget to have patience and even hope. Thank you for the reminder. I need it.
to answer the questions. YES!! I believe in miracles. If we had lots of time I could tell you about the ones in my life.
Short sands beach on the Oregon coast. Some thing awesome happens every time I go there.
I treasure being alive.
Being in the presence of my friend Joseph Garrett.
My friend Reverend Anne Larson. She passed over and I know she is with me often. To go where she is and learn from her there like I learned from her on this plane would be inspiring.
