My husband and I JUST booked our flight from Toronto for June 28. How excited and blessed we are. We are starting in SJPdP and hope to go on to Muxia...this time without crutches! Hiking poles are much lighter, after all! :)
My autumn 2013 pilgrimage was interrupted by injury. This forum family sent prayers and blessings from around the world during those dark days in and out of hospitals, buoying my spirits until I was able to restart on crutches from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela.
Thank you forum family for your ongoing love, inspiration, and spirit. Through your shared stories of experience, you kept the flame burning, even when I feared a second try was not for me (or my knee).
Now I eagerly await the lessons a second pilgrimage has in store for me and my wonderful husband.

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought.
