Three years after our last Camino adventure, my husband and I are now booked to hike a section of the Camino de la Isla (Island Walk) on Prince Edward Island, Canada. Although the entire trail is 700 km, we plan to do a smaller (140+ km) segment as follows:
Charlottetown to Mount Stewart, 32 km
Mount Stewart to Saint Peters, 22 km
St. Peters to New Zealand, 23 km
New Zealand to Elmira, 21 km
Elmira to Bothwell, 22 km
Bothwell to Souris, 21 km
This section of the trail has been described as comprising:
Picturesque forests, vast fields, quiet red dirt roads, old bridges, white clapboard churches, floating boardwalks, pristine bays/lakes, singing sands and the meeting of the ocean tides.
https://theislandwalk.ca
After a week-long hike, we will join close friends to tour Cape Breton. Friendship and hiking definitely fuel our inner peace.
I will send updates from this adventure. In the meantime, you can find out more about The Island Walk here.
What fuels your peace? How can you include more of this in your life?
Where in the World are The Travelling Litte Book(s) of Inner Peace?
This past February, I packaged up three copies of The Little Book of Inner Peace (by Ashley Davies Bush) and mailed them to three friends living in three different countries. I requested that they each pass the book along when finished reading. My intention was to begin a ‘Travelling Ripple of Peace.’ Here is where the books have currently surfaced:
Book A has now landed in a gorgeous sunroom in Tumbarumba, Australia. Do you recognize this blogger?
Book B left Scarborough, Ontario and went on vacation in Florida to visit Joanne’s sister, Tina. Tina will shortly return home to Barrie, Ontario. Will her Little Book of Peace remain in Florida or return to Ontario? Stay tuned!
Book C hung out with Sandy and Margaret in Palm Springs and is now with their friend Barbie in Brentwood, California.
I also wrote to the book’s Author (Ashley Davis Bush) to let her know about the travels of her book. Here is what she had to say in reply: “It warms my heart to imagine my book getting passed around the world. I wish you a wonderful year of living your WOTY.”
Imagine
Shout out to Julian Lennon, who recently performed ‘Imagine’ for the first time, even though he had previously vowed that he would never do this. His performance was in support of Ukraine. Below are Julian’s rendering as well as the ‘official video” for his dad’s version. I find both to be very inspirational. I hope that you enjoy them!

How are your intentions for 2022 going? Please join Sue, Debbie, Jo and me and share your thoughts in the comments below or through InLinkz. We’d love to hear from you.

Sounds like a great plan to walk on PEI. We will be there for a week shortly and while we will do lots of walking we have no plans to follow a specific path. We are birders and aim for suitable habitat for the species we are seeking. After a week on PEI we will be going to Grand Manan Island, NB to spend a week there. Later in the year we may go to Vancouver Island to do some birding, and visit my wife’s sister who lives in Victoria. We’re just not comfortable flying yet, and there seems to be ongoing chaos at many airports.

Hi, Hilary – I also wanted to know why Julian made that vow as well. My best guess is it had something to do to John leaving Julian completely out of his will. According to a blog by lawyers Antonelli and Antonelli “Lennon’s will cut out his eldest son Julian, a child from his first marriage. Julian contested the will on the grounds that Yoko Ono had unduly influenced his father into drafting the will. This lead to the classic set-up of child v. seemingly ill-willed step-mother, fighting for a share of the estate.
It took a while for everything to come together, and after a grueling 16 years of litigation in Surrogate’s Court, Yoko finally settled with Julian for an undisclosed amount. However, rumor has it that the settlement was approximately $25 million—nowhere close to what Julian would have received if John had no will.
If Julian was able to prove that Yoko unduly influenced John into making the will, then Julian’s share would have increased dramatically. Under New York State intestacy law, Julian would be entitled to about 25% of his father’s estate—about $200 million instead of $25 million. (Yoko would have received only about half the $800 million. And Sean would have received the other 25%.)
To make matters worse, after the settlement, Yoko began auctioning John’s possessions. This included letters that Julian had written to his father. Julian used his settlement proceeds to purchase these letters back. (https://www.antonelli-legal.com/blog/litigating-john-lennon-estate-antonelli-and-antonelli.cfm)
Okay, so that was a bit long, but you did just say that “education in various forms” brings you inner peace. Hopefully this counts! 😀
