Hello my name is Chacee.

[Chacee]

Hello Camino family, I plan my camino 2015 or 2016, God willing. I am most excited and nervous at the same time that I don't even know what to do with myself! I can't wait. For starters, I have already ordered my passport credentials for motivation and to confirm that this is now official. I've also ordered the book, the Imitation of Christ to channel and embark, if you will, a journey that I didn't even know existed or was even possible. Thank you for listening. Chacee

Welcome Chacee so pleased you already feel like a member of the family, the camino is an adventure and one you will never forget. Getting your credentials is one of your first steps on the Way welcome pilgrim. Speak we'll all listen!

Hello Camino family, I wish to thank you ALL kindly for your warm welcome and spiritually uplifting messages---that means A LOT to me. At Dave, no, I did not realize I was already a pilgrim? Still, the thought of already being one brings me comfort I'm learning as I go...

Thank you Al the optimist---I'm looking forward to it. Thank you Kerstinh47 and Deacon Harbey Santiago for your blessing! The Lord knows, it is much needed.

Agreed! I'm enjoying the process of planning my spiritual journey. Next item on my to-buy-list: The Ausprey Aura 24 or 26--so I can plan my packing around it. There is so much to learn, share, do, and prepare for my Camino de Santiago---hopefully alongside with my fiancee Robert.

Briefly, my mom fell ill with lung cancer. She was operated a year ago and she is fine now. When I first heard the news, my soul was pierced with that of a burning dagger. The hurt was so intense, that I think I might have made the heavens tremble and maybe even scared the Titans, as I sat still and cried even in silence.

To say the least, my new Camino family, life changed. I am defeated.

Warmly,
Chacee

Welcome to the forum. The Camino is an amazing experience. You will love it.
Good to hear your mother recovered well.

Buen Camino.

Hi Chacee,

May I suggest step number 2? Spend good time researching your footwear and once you have decided what to use put some miles in them, breaking them out. I saw so many pilgrims in the Camino (Specially in Sarria) with clean (Meaning not baptized by the "waist" of a hundred Spanish cows) and what looked to me like brand new boots it was painful!

PS> I'm glad your mom is doing better.
