The journey I am on currently, the unfamiliar for me - yet familiar - for my late husband (who I still miss), who died of heart failure. Me - who I knew as healthy and fit, now experiencing heart failure, and my doctors' efforts to keep me living, albeit a tad slower. I am not used to this s-l-o-w-n-e-s-s, but my body is responding. Now I listen to my body, and my Loving Higher Power who holds me in His/Her gracious and loving hands. And so I trust and we continue on this journey - me and my Holy Guide.

Thank you, Steph. The calling is the reason to do it! AND you are in for a treat of your life. My husband walked the Camino solo from France to Spain about 10 years ago and LOVED it!! 🥰
