Great Excuses Not to Go to Yoga

You didn’t really think I was going to write an anti-yoga post did you?

I stumbled upon this today and thought I would share. I hope you are all having a happy, healthy new year! I have a few blog posts in the works, but you’d be surprised how busy unemployment can be!

Be back soon!

Joy in 2012

Happy New Year single reader!

It’s a beautiful, blue sky day here in summit county. But since yesterday’s blizzard came with winds so high they whipped the snow off the mountain before it could reach the ground, we’re still sorely lacking suitable ski conditions – which is probably for the better as I continue to heal. So rather than spending the first day of the year on the slopes as I have for so many winters past, I’m spending it at home for a little R&R and some quiet contemplation.

Update: Healing and Housing and Snow

Once again, it’s been quite a while since my last update. I think I was waiting for some big news or event. The truth is that life has been pretty quiet since the November festivities died down. My days have more or less revolved around two things: healing my very stubborn feet and ankles, and trying to find a place to live for the season.

Fabulous Fall

Well single reader, I have been neglecting this blog pretty severely since my arrival in Santiago. A lot has happened since then – a mind boggling week in Madrid, a magical 4 days in Disney World, my 23rd birthday, a big fat Thanksgiving, lots of reunions, showing A and his family around Florida, and plenty of R&R for my poor pained feet.

Now I am back in Colorado and if the snow piling outside my window is any indication, fall is officially over.

It was such an amazing few months that I am having trouble organizing it all in my head. Maybe I’ll make an attempt at story-telling later, maybe not. But I have spent the last few snowed-in days creating my annual seasonal video.

So here it is, my best attempt at articulating my fabulous fall. Enjoy 🙂

Well aren’t you folks in for a treat today! I have convinced my mother (the famous, award winning author – yeah, that one) to write a guest post for my blog chronicling her Camino experience. What you read below are her words. Enjoy! Continue reading “Guest Post! Mom’s Camino Experience”

It’s About Time: Camino de Santiago -The Final Day

Sorry about the delay all! But between being totally overwhelmed with everything that is Madrid and then totally exhausted from the trip home, I’ve totally failed at writing my promised account of that final day. So here we go… Continue reading “It’s About Time: Camino de Santiago -The Final Day”

Santiago de Compostela

We made it!

By the time we got to the cathedral I was pretty sure I´d never be dry or warm again, but WE MADE IT!!!

So that´s the important news. Unfortunately I´m a bit drained for a proper post so this will be all for now. But I promise once I´m home to write up a nice description of the day so you can shiver along vicariously like mom and I did all day.

We´ll be here in Santiago until Friday or Saturday (not sure which exactly), then off to Madrid! As usual, I´ll try and keep you posted. Thanks so much to all who commented on these posts during this journey for your amazing support. You are all beautiful, wonderful people.

100 miles to Santiago

Tonight I sit almost exactly 100 miles from Santiago. That means I´ve come 400. That´s insane. Continue reading “13 Miles to Santiago”

121 Miles to Santiago

First of all, many thanks to everyone who commented on my last post. Reading your words made me feel so much better about everything and made me feel closer to each and every one of you. You´re the best.

And now for some updates… Continue reading “121 Miles to Santiago”

162 Miles to Santiago

I didn´t walk as far as I wanted to today. I couldn´t. Not because of pain, which is good and I am happy for. But because I was not in the right mindset. Continue reading “162 Miles to Santiago”
