What I Wish I Knew Before I Retired
Hello from sunny Australia! I’m Sue from Sizzling Towards 60 & Beyond. I’m delighted to be writing again for Donna’s Sunday Guest Post Series. We have met some fabulous people here, haven’t we? A huge thank you to Donna for introducing everyone. I’m honoured to be returning. I wrote my first post for this series… Continue reading Sundays at Six Guest Post Series – Finding Your Mojo After a Holiday
When you hear the expression 'blogging holiday' you might imagine a break from online reading and writing. For me, my most recent experience with this term was the exact opposite. After a summer on the Camino Trail, followed by a September devoted to 70th birthday celebrations (my husband's not mine), Richard and I headed to… Continue reading Palm Desert: A Blogging Holiday
I mull over the contents of this post as I soak in a traditional Red Zao herbal bath while overlooking the resplendent mountains of Northwest Vietnam. My entire being is filled with gratitude for every moment in my life that got me to this one; both the good and the bad for they are what… Continue reading Sunday Guest Post Series: Lisa Dorenfest – One Ocean At A Time
At different times in my life, I have come across something that seemed 'too good to be true’…only to discover that it was even better than I could have possibly imagined. My most recent example of this is Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah. I had heard about Best Friends through a couple of… Continue reading Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, Kanab, Utah
Why to ensure that 'the shoe fits' before embarking on your Camino! #WordlessWednesday
I love following the Thursday Doors Series. Still, I rarely contribute. The doors to which I have regular access seldom speak to me. That all changed during our recent trek on the Camino Trail. Actually, if Richard hadn't given me his 'ahem' voice (quite a few times), we would still be lingering in Spain, with… Continue reading Spanish Doors of the Camino
When I left you last, Richard and I had finished our full Camino and had just spent four interesting (and restful) days in Finisterre. Since we had padded this trip with extra days, we had almost two full weeks left before our scheduled flights home from Paris. What to do? Some of you suggested Portugal,… Continue reading And We’re Back (Home That Is)!
Day 25- Reaching Santiago de Compostela- 25 km. Last week, I published my Camino post one day earlier than usual. I wanted to open this new entry with arriving in Santiago. Arriving here can be an indescribably moving experience, and the thought of it filled me with anticipation. Above, are photos of our two separate… Continue reading The Camino Trail 2017 – Reaching Santiago…Then Heading to Muxia and Finisterre
Day 18: Herrerias to Fonfria - 20 km. .. I was a bit anxious about today's hike. Our guidebook described the first eight kilometers as "it climbs steeply through the chestnut woods and offers no respite along the way". After that, even our 'non-judgemental' map showed today's walk to consist of relentless ups and downs.… Continue reading Postcards From The Camino Trail 2017: Week Four
When I left you last, Richard and I had just arrived in Leon. Since the city offers so many cool things to see and do, we were contemplating staying an extra day. That night, we stayed in the Monastery (five euros each). Richard and I had decided to make it an early evening. We were… Continue reading Post Cards From The Camino Trail 2017 – Week Three
