Along the Way

The Blog:
A Place for Sharing and Reflection
From time to time, I share thoughts, experiences, reflections on this page. Actually, they are the primary purpose of my site!
Especially as I travel in Ecuador from December 2021 through April 2022, these "posts from along the way", I hope, will be an opportunity to invite you into the adventures of heart and mind that will grace my life while there.
Thank you for reading on!
