Phrases and Messages by Maria Padilha is a book of phrases and messages taken from the Maria Padilha Deck, by Eliane Arthman. The book contains 127 phrases and messages about people, the world, life s difficulties and, of course, motivational phrases, suitable for everyday life and difficult times, when the reader of the book may be experiencing doubts and problems, in need of advice or encouragement. The phrases and messages were intuited by Élida Alexandre, fortune teller, tarot reader, holistic therapist and author of spiritual and religious self-help books, to help anyone who wants to learn and evolve through Maria Padilha s knowledge and energy. The book is recommended to carry in your purse, backpack... or even keep within reach in a drawer or on a shelf so that, whenever you need guidance, advice or a word of wisdom from Maria Padilha, you can have it in the palm of your hands. I recommend that you choose a page at random, daily or whenever you feel the need, to obtain the wisdom of Maria Padilha s letters.
