El Camino Bound Sept 11

Posted on by riverspiritwalks

We are going to breakfast at Carol’s Restaurant and then on to the airport. One last goodbye hug to Leo and our flight leaves Mpls for Newark at 12:53. A 3 hour layover at Newark and on to Madrid arriving about 10 AM. Tuesday, Madrid time. Madrid and Leon are 7 hours ahead of our time zone, so 3 A.M. my time. We then take the train to Leon.

We are leaving with anticipation of meeting up with cousin Chris and friend Mary in Newark for the next leg then Jonathan in Leon.

We had a great sendoff yesterday with kids and grandkids. Laura had buckets of leftover flowers from a wedding she had arranged the flowers for on Saturday. We all made bouquets. The living room is encircled with 9 bouquets of purple and orange flowers.

It has been fun to include all of you in the journey so far through this blog and putting into word all that is swirling inside. Thanks for listening and there will be more posts and photos along the way.

Please keep us in thought and prayer with your hands at our backs.

I recently took a walk on El Camino Frances in Spain, traveling for about a month. During that time I posted a blog to document my journey as a way to share the experience with others and in the process found I enjoyed writing about that which arose in the day and became fodder for deeper reflection. Since returning I have decided to keep writing offering my reflections on the day-to-day life journey. The lens I look through is influenced by my role as grief counselor, the artist journey of mixing water and paint on paper, studies in meditation and mindfulness and my own unique life experiences of study, travel and exploration. I am nearing retirement in about a year, from my role as grief counselor, and find that my reflections on the journey of a soul might be helpful for those who are trying to navigate life with its many transitions and opportunities for transformation as well as a way for me to continue to be of service. I walk this journey with my husband, Leo, our two adult children and 4 grandchildren. They keep it real and greatly increase my opportunities for laugh and play.
