Still in the wrapper, I'm that new

Hello,

My name is Margaret Sieiro Garcia, I am first gen. american from a Gallego/Brazilian family. I grew up hearing the stories of the pilgramage. I remember being in S de C as a child and my aunt pointing out those to journeyed.

I'm a firm believer in life/fate brings to you what you need when you need it, not before.


I have found in the last 6 years that I need to make a journey's within and out - to do something for the great good - so I have been riding my bike in charity events (200 to 300 mile events) in places that challenge my fitness and my asthma - I learn so much about myself as I train for such events - it's really about the journey.

I have not given thought to the Santiago journey in ages, seriously, ages. In the last 3 days, I've had the journey referenced in a conversation at least a dozen times, by complete strangers and by family.

hmmm.... maybe someone it trying to tell me something.

So, I am in deep thought now - how, where, when, what and I am here at the forum to read, to learn and to ask.

I don't know when, I don't know from where, but I think I need to journey.

So there you have my introduction - HI!

Thanks!
