@joecousins89 Never understood why people think what they do for a living reflects their importance. I was raised to believe that a job is a job and anyone getting up and going to work deserves the same respect, whether they pick up trash or run the company. Good for your mom! Respect!

@Timcammm Someone stole my purse once, including my phone. I called my phone and they answered. We actually had a pleasant chat where I congratulated them on being the new owners of a Coach purse, $200 cash and my phone. Asked that they simply mail my driver’s license back. They did. Lol

@fred_fearn I just rescued a woodpecker. The rehab said birds should be brought in immediately instead of left to recover. Obviously you didn’t know that but I’m posting this for others to read. Take them in immediately!

@Kathryn_B87 @Nick_Pettigrew @JimMFelton Exactly this. People who want to "move on" are saying their comfort/convenience has more value than the lives of those who are weaker than them. I believe it was Mahatma Gandhi who said, 'the true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members".

I’ve gotten flack from people about my trip. My trip didn’t cost nearly as much as some people think. Here’s the deal: I don’t have kids, I don’t have a big mortgage, car payments, debt, gadgets, etc. I work hard. I save. It amazes me how people can’t be happy for others.

@fred_fearn I’m just sharing what the SWVirginiaWildlife Center told me last week when I took a pileated woodpecker in. They are ecologists and veterinarians so I defer to their expertise. The Audubon society suggests the same as birds go into shock quickly and die.

The final 15 miles are today. I’m excited but also a wee bit emotional about it ending. I’m windburned, exhausted, and ready to sleep in a little. I’d also kill to soak in a tub. But I’ll miss the peace that comes with walking solo across such beautiful, empty spaces.

We laid my dad to rest next to my momma. I know it’s the natural order of things but it doesn’t make it any easier. When I got home, as soon as I sat down on my porch, a sweet, little hummingbird flew right up to me & hovered. Since I’m looking for signs, I’ll assume this is one.
