I ran away from home to walk across Spain with my fifteen-year-old son. I quit my job of nearly twenty years in 2013 to spend thirty-five life-changing days on the Camino de Santiago. Over a plate of fly-infested paella, I bonded with Rosemary, a single mom from England. She was the first to suggest there are a lot of ways to mother besides the unhappy road I was on. Six months after we finished our Camino, I packed my bags and moved to Spain for two years. I learned the valuable lesson that while most mothers worry about failing our children, we more often risk failing ourselves. I call Madrid home now and my young adult children are living their own best lives in the Pacific Northwest. My Spanish adventure memoir called Motherfail is due out in 2025. I hope you’ll join me on My Slow Road, where I publish original photos and write about creativity, travel, writing, and my next Camino dream to take a long walk on the Via Francigena. https://www.myslowroad.com/quick-prep-email daily 0.75 2020-09-17 https://www.myslowroad.com/subscribe-2 daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57d6c55a2994cab476e9fb40/1588546032089-BAULXE3CYR01AZBG9AAX/2015-08-12_home-goods-0052-v2-FINAL.jpg Subscribe
