There are some journeys you choose with your feet… and some you choose with your heart. ❤️ So on the 4th of October I have as most of you know decided to walk the Camino pilgrimage path from Porto to Santiago with Barney along for the ride. I think its 150 to 170ish miles eeeek.
I’m doing it for me to step away from the noise, to breathe, reflect, heal, and hopefully find a little more of whatever it is my soul needs.
But I also want this journey to mean something beyond myself. So after much thought I have decided that along the way, I’ll be raising money for Bliss, a charity that is incredibly close to my heart. (Link at the bottom ) Having had my beautiful premature twins, (now all grown up ) I know first-hand how overwhelming, frightening and emotional that world can be. The support that organisations like Bliss give to premature and sick babies and their families can make such a difference during a time when you can feel completely lost.
So, if you’d like to support me, every little bit would mean the world. ❤️
And if you’re not in a position to donate, please don’t worry for a second honestly. Your kindness, encouragement, a message, a share, or simply following along on the journey is more than enough.
I’ll be sharing the highs, the lows, the blisters 😂, the tears, the laughter, the beautiful moments and probably a few “what on earth was I thinking?” moments too!
You can follow our journey here or over on Instagram and maybe, if I can work it out again, there might even be some tick tocks involved! 😂
This Camino is for me.
But I’m hoping that, along the way, it can help someone else too.
One step at a time. One prayer at a time. One mile at a time. 🥾✨
Thank you for being part of it. ❤️
