I’d be a millionaire if I had a dollar for every time a person has looked me in the eye and said these words over the last ten years. While some are afraid of the tiniest wobble to the axis that holds their world together, I thrive on change. I continually look for ways, not […]
Can The Camino De Santiago Heal A Broken Heart?
Why are so many people drawn to walking the Camino de Santiago? One is the need to heal a broken heart. I saw many people grieving during my first Camino Frances in 2016, sitting by the side of the road, alone. Sometimes, I would join them, offering a shoulder to cry on, and a tissue […]
