Many have asked about my trip and there are a few books of reading that I recommend if you are interested… any of these will take you thru the walk with me as I do the 500 miles in 30 days!  I have read them all and all are different for all reading preferences see below:  The Camino – by Shirley McClaine – I read this Jan 2003 by recommendation of a dear friend and mentor Sherry Joyce (Hey Sherry, Rick wants to talk to you about this! He blames you for this craziness!)-          I am not a big follower of hers but truly enjoyed the book – it touches bases of letting go of fears …

The Pilgrim – by Paulo Coelho -  I first came aware just as I was leaving this Feb 2007 to Mexico where I would tell my parents that this trip was in their honor.  At Yoga someone I never seen overheard a conversation about ny adventure and said I should read this.  God is truly amazing… I shook it off ands said ok…. Then when I got to my parents home a friend of my father had given him the book when he found out that I was walking “The Camino” … Paulo is the same author of The Alchemist which I have never read (will take it on my ipod!) – Truly a humbling book…. 

Walk in a Relaxed Manner – by Joyce Rupp-          A great spiritual friend called up one day do you have this book?  I said no, well you do now.  Just in time a few weeks ago… very factual and at the same time spiritual as to how to embrace the journey… not only “the Camino” but life….
