Welcome to the very first podcast recap of the #CLGbookclub! This month's book was The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.

Carrie starts by reading the very moving and inspirational Forward written by the author at the beginning of her version of the book (the 25th anniversary edition).

She then goes through her favorite conversations and points in the book and shares why these spots in the story really spoke to her. She also provides tangible advice for how we can relate these key points to our lives and make improvements towards living the life of our dreams.
