Author Colette Lafia on "Seeking Surrender"

Author and spiritual director, Colette Lafia originally wrote to me about her book "Seeking Surrender: How My Friendship With a Trappist Monk Taught Me to Trust and Embrace Life” while I was traveling in Europe, pursuing two of my favorite practices—writing and SoulStrolling™.

Bumping Along toward Dreams

Translating Travel into 'Home' Language

Six weeks is a long time to be away from home. People keep asking me if I’m adjusted to being back. Truth is: I really don’t care to “adjust.” If you or I invest time and energy into soulful travel, what is the point of returning home unchanged? Is it even possible?

Today at SoulStrolling, I share 20 things I want to carry home with me in this everyday journey. Click here for full article. 

Living the Gloriously Impossible. Will you do it?

Reflections from Tuscany: A letter I stumbled upon as I ‘unpack’ six weeks of life-altering journeys and experience. I have to start somewhere, so why not here? Perhaps I brought home a little something for you.
