This is an awesome piece. It's so cool how something that happened when you were so young still has meaning today (plus, it's pretty amazing you remember this so vividly so, so, so, ... many years later 😁).
Thanks Chellie for your timely write. I just walked over 300kms from Porto to Santiago de Compestela for a pilgrimage of a lifetime.. the Portugese Coastal Camino route. Got back home last night after 3 weeks away, which included time in Porto and Santiago and 2 rest days. Definitely jumped into the deep end, the unknown, the mystery. A super big challenge that I'll be integrating for awhile. Now I must prepare to leave Spain in 2 weeks back to Canada, another pilgrimage, which feels just as daunting. I feel the pain of paying for all my luggage, now even on a shuttle bus to get to the airport. Especially after carrying 10kgs on my back for 2 weeks, no extra charge, other than to my body, which made it stronger.
So I stood on the edge and jumped.
My trust, faith and confidence were strengthened and expanded immensely, as intense as it was at times.
Christina, I am so glad this resonated for you. Congratulations on accomplishing a feat of a lifetime. I am certain every day brought confronted you with physical challenges as well as inner challengers--you too were on the sliver--tiptoeing between fear, joy, accomplishment and at times exhaustion. Please write about this experience and share about how you moved forward each day to get to your goal. Enjoy these last few weeks before arriving home. You are stronger for having accomplished this--thank you for sharing.
Mucho Gracias Chellie .. Yes, it is my intent to write. I just need to let go of my addiction to Netflix and watching videos of all sorts. The good news is that I haven’t got a clue what’s going on in the world and that’s refreshing. No news is good news!
Thank you Chellie,........In the final unfolding, what we once named fear gently dissolves into the boundless mystery. We step into the unknown, where trust becomes our only guide.”

Thanks Charlie-I remember it like it happened yesterday and in some ways, it did. And thanks for the "so, so, so...many years later"!
