To my dear family (consisting of family and those we have been blessed that have embraced me as family!) 

Well the dates have approached us for this amazing journey that I have been granted.  Words can not express the emotions that stir up within me….  Know that I will carry you in my heart and prayers and ask that you keep the prayers going for me thru June 2nd when I return.  I ask that you pray to God to show me to be in the present and make me aware of His beauty and His purpose for me in my next 40 years to come and to share those experiences to help others…  As Judy (an angel at CVIM) told me the journey starts when you come back and apply your learning’s to your life… “We will be there to help you out” …. I am counting on you guys!  

There has been much encouragement by you all, shared and treasured moments, words and thoughts I will carry together with special symbols of faith I have been given to protect me and keep me company along the way (I will cherish them all Joan or Arc, St Isabel, Fatima, Rosary made of thread, sealed notes that I will carry and read randomly, etc…!   And my Irish Cross ..I’m good!….Thank you!  I am in awe as I think of how blessed I am by all the Angels that God has and continues to send my way… you all know who you are ;-)  

A great blessing as come my way… Rick will walk with me from April 23 (first day) thru April 29th. Yupppiee! Truly a blessing as I settle into this new foundation of walking 15 – 20 miles a day in a land unknown to me….  Off I ago and with me I will take you all … just know that I love you guys and could not do this without you!Form my Heart to yours,
