Can I? Really?

In October 2013, I asked Gil what he wanted for his upcoming 60th birthday.  Without hesitation, "to go to Ireland."  That response was no surprise for me.  What did surprise me was how those words stirred my soul.  Several days later at breakfast with Gil, I found myself wondering outloud (a very common thing for me).... Do you think I could walk the Wicklow Way with you?  I watched a slow, sweet smile come over his face and he said, without hesitation, "Yes, and the preparation begins now."  

And so I began... losing weight (30 lbs lighter now), walking and working out everyday (well, there were a few days off), overcoming setbacks with my health (like a broken toe just 4 weeks before leaving for Ireland), mentally working on believing in me just as much as Gil did, and soulfully opening myself up for the Divine to do her work of transformation.

Last week as Gil and I hiked in Prescott, I finally felt in my body, thought in the deepest part of my mind, stirred in my soul, and voiced outloud the words.... "I can do this!"  And Gil offered his honest encouragement... "You are good to go!"  

Stay tuned.... there are many more stories to tell.... outloud.... right here!!
