Keep Walking, Your Heart Will Catch Up

A Camino de Santiago Journey

By: Cathay Reta

Are you at a crossroads? Have you experienced loss? Or lost your way—your passion, your purpose? Walk with this author on an ancient pilgrimage trail and maybe you’ll find some answers for yourself. Keep Walking is the inspiring tale of a modern-day pilgrimage of self-discovery, transformation, and renewal on the Camino de Santiago, the centuries old 483-mile trail across northern Spain.

Newly widowed, author Cathay Reta was in her mid-60s and looking for direction for her life. When she began to physically prepare for the Camino by hiking and walking and leaving her sedentary life behind, she didn’t realize that it would also be an inner healing. Cathay traveled alone to Spain and started walking. She kept walking day after day through tears, anger, laughter, sadness and great joy. Every day was a challenge, and she often questioned why she was on the Camino. Why not just go to a nice hotel and think through what to do the next 30 years?

Cathay learned that the Camino uses a physical struggle to match the inner breaking of the heart and soul. It gives depth and tangibility to what’s felt inside; it makes a way for healing. After 37 days she reached her destination with a bold new vision of her life and purpose.
