INSPIRATIONS

Since I got back I've been glued to the computer catching up with emails and facebook messages, doing this blog and reading some really inspirational stuff that comes through newsletters. One thread led me to a documentary on the life and work of an American woman who gave up her normal life to walk back and forth across the States with nothing but a comb, toothbrush and ballpoint pen in her pocket. No money... no bags... just a tunic emblazened: PEACE PILGRIM on the front and WALKING 10,000 MILES FOR WORLD PEACE on the back, which later became 25,000 miles. She'd vowed to "remain a wanderer until mankind has learned the way of peace, walking until given shelter and fasting until given food."

She walked "as a prayer" and as a chance to inspire others to pray and work for peace and she continued walking for 28 years until she died in 1981 at about my age.

What an inspiration! And how come I never heard of this amazing woman? Well here is where you can find out about her... www.peacepilgrim.com ... Maybe if you're American you'll know about her.
