Thanks for sharing this journey of both body and heart with all of us. I've been toying with the idea of a walking pilgrimage for several years and haven't yet made the commitment. Your story inspires me to believe I will know when the time is right.

This is beautiful and a great gift today. "I carry Mike. He’s weightless. He’s integrated into who I am. This journey has not turned out to be an excavation of Mike or of loss. Rather a confirmation of how embedded he is in my life and my heart." How lovely - and how comforting for those of us learning from you! Today is the 2nd anniversary of Tom's death. And I'm learning that he is indeed embedded in my heart, and the work and weight of the journey is shifting a bit. Your words have given me hope on this hard day. Thank you!

I have to know - why are you now afraid of cowbells? I must know this story.
