Out of Paris!
If we were chatting together about pilgrimage, pilgrim to pilgrim, heart to heart, I would comfortably admit that pilgrimage can take us much deeper than we ever expected to go.
In the Footsteps of Pilgrims Past

My world is a better place for my connecting to my social media friends, and I am a happier person because of their presence in my life.
