The book is launched, the book tour is happening, and right now I’m just trying to keep up with it all.

Camino By Sea (Video)
It’s often said that the Camino begins as soon as you walk out your own door, wherever you are.

As I sit inside, safe and dry, and watch the puddles spread across the whole street, and the grass turn into swamps, I’m thinking a lot about how life as a pilgrim meant beingContinue reading “Sunny Days (Camino Playlist)”
