oooh Victoria, I am right there with you. Relate to so much. I can feel the intensity of the connection. I do not question you for not resisting. I get it. I'll be following you right to the Cruz de Ferro and beyond ....

I have thought about how to interpret this line: "letting go of my self-sabotage with wine and the wrong men." Is it a plan to celebrate eliminating self-sabotage with wine and the wrong men? Or is wine and the wrong men the source of self-sabotage? Honest question for clarification.

Sorry, don’t understand your question. I realized that I had sabotaged myself with each of them.

One perspective is that you will be letting go of wine and the wrong men on the Camino. The other is you will celebrate with wine and the wrong me on the Camino.

Sorry, I did not make my question clear, and enjoy the Camino. My wife went last fall with her sisters and loved it.

By the way, my newsletter is about finally, after dreaming about walking the Camino since grad school in the 70s, completed the 500-mile Camino Frances as I turned 62, in 2013.

Cool. She might enjoy taking a look at my newsletter. As you can see most of my posts aren't this personal.

Guess I should look at my wording to make it more clear. I explain it more in my article. Was it only the note that was unclear?

Everything was fine except the line I quoted could have been interpreted two different ways. And it may just be me, since no one else has mentioned it.

Thanks. I’m trying to hone my writing, so it’s great to get feedback on where there is a lack of clarity.

PS The reason no one else has commented, no doubt has to do with the fact that there have been few readers.😊
