El Camino.

It is my Camino, my journey, and my life.

I'll do it the way it's good for me; that makes it perfect!

I came here with an intention, and I am working on it. However, other lessons showed up on the journey.

One of my biggest takeaway from this trip is that: IT'S MY EXPERIENCE; nobody else's!

In the beginning, I read a lot and listened to people about how the Camino should be done, what the rules are, and what makes you a "good pilgrim." As I started l, I felt uncomfortable and too much in my head because I had so many expectations for myself. Everything fell into place when I let them go and simply started listening to my body's and soul's needs. I am pushing my limits, learning about others, nature, and myself in a way best fitting for me. I am creating and following my own rules. When I need to take a break - I take it. If I can go more than I planned - then I push it. Trying the bike and the horses - why not? Let expectations and judgment go because you never know what someone is going through and why they are doing something. Be kind, understanding, and helpful towards others and yourself. Respect the way, the boundaries, and most importantly, be open to anything! Camino is Life! I hope to take home and integrate my newly found self- boundary/balance into my "normal" life! So much to be grateful for!
