Thank you Karena for sharing my mom's project. I'm very grateful for this highlight of her spirit. She's indeed touched many people. Re your question about the every 7 rest edition, I've always appreciated that you do this, but had the thought today as you asked that I'd love to still see a short post from you reminding us that it's a rest week, as that would help me keep the essential value of rest in my attention more than just a week of no post.

Wow, I’m definitely going to read and share this, too. Smiling with strangers is one my favorites while traveling when you don’t speak the local language.

Rick, I’ve been trading messages with your mom this week. Smiling by way of email. What a lovely woman - the Apple is so close to the tree my friend. Thank YOU for sharing her with us last week.

Grateful for you, your recap, and reminding us it’s okay to rest and set your own rest agenda. You have shared a lot of excellent resources, I’ll be bookmarking this one to return to.

Ps. Love the pics and WoP run-ins!

You’re amazing Karena. Such a deep essay - with so many contributing areas. I loved the pictures and can’t wait until you make it out west! Also, I appreciated the personal retro callout. And of course Rick’s mom. Safe travels!
