Last night, I saw a post on FB about walking the Camino. The Camino de Santiago is a 500 mile path that starts over the border of Spain and continues into 4 of Spain’s 15 regions. According to the Catholic tradition, completing this trek forgives one’s sins. Since then, millions of lives have been … Read more
Hello beautiful souls, On last week’s blog, we talked about feeling it so we can heal it. One person asked “what if we are IN IT, and we have work, children to take care of?

It’s curable.” I knew he meant well but his bedside manner … Read more
