'I am no superwoman, but I have walked 790 km across the top of Spain. Starting in France, I crossed the Pyrenees Mountains, followed the Camino Frances Way and finished at the Atlantic Ocean. Phew! Ask me how, and all I can say is, I just kept going. Every day, every hour, every minute. Town to town, kilometre by kilometre, step by step. This walk was a confusing combination of confidence, exhaustion, pain, happiness, wonder, tears, elation and resilience. Despite the mix of emotions and physical dilemmas, I spent 32 days marvelling at the wonder of nature and for the first time in my life, I lived, really lived, in the moment.'
As Michelle walked, the days of solitude and quiet nurtured her soul, cleansed her spirit, and detoxed her body. Her eyes, dedicated to nature and colour, examined the changing ground she walked on. She admired the creation of forests, rivers and mountains, appreciated the brilliant skies, noticed a variety of plants, trees and animals, marvelled at the formation of clouds, respected the nuances of weather and engaged in deep conversation with strangers along the way.
Even though Michelle witnessed incredible landscapes and big views, it was the little things that were brilliantly magnified and highlighted. She walked resiliently in tough weather conditions, but it was the times when Michelle was still, that she felt unexpected emotions fully. The most surprising of all were the times when, in moments of unintended mindfulness, her spirit lifted and her heart filled with pure joy.
Humbled by her achievement, Michelle wrote this book to share 'the good, the bad and the amazing' parts of her Camino trek, to inspire others to embark on their own adventure of a lifetime.
