DAY 25 on the Camino de Santiago. Today provided a major breakthrough for me about my beliefs around being a strong and capable woman and having to always do things the hard way. I am so grateful to be finally ready to let this go. Now begins the real work of implementing my new perspective into my life. Sometimes you know something intellectually but until you’re ready to accept it at a core level, it does you no good. Today I broke through a lifelong barrier and feel that I can begin living a new and more joyful way. Thanks to all my family and friends for the loving push, and especially to Stephanie MacCulloch and Dana Lee for the final words that facilitated this event in my life. I am grateful.
