Thank you Emily for a wonderful pilgrimage to the Thin Places of Assisi, Siena, and Rome! Jeff and I loved experiencing these amazing cities with all the beautiful landscapes and churches, the town squares and the city streets. But more importantly we were so blessed by the amazing people both living and dead (Thin Spaces) that we encountered! We were part of the grandparent contingency, but we were so grateful to be with such terrific families as we explored these new places. The kids added a vibrant family dynamic to the trip! I think we talked to each other more, we helped each other and we got to know each other more than most tour groups. What a gift to have met so many faithful Catholic people from all over the United States. We are more than we know and stronger than we think we are. God bless you and your family! Anyone who reads this and thinks maybe they'd like to go on the next adventure should start saving your money now. It was totally worth every penny!

Ginny, we miss you! It was such a joy to have you on the pilgrimage and finally meet you. And I think you’re right. The children fostered such a sense of community among the group. It was really special.

I also am against the full-on, no holds barred Amazon love :) so, I was happy to purchase through your link, and I'm excited to get to read them! I didn't get an order confirmation though, is that common with this storefront?

Thanks for your order! The form doesn’t send confirmations for me, unfortunately, so I need to find the time to sit down and let people know I received the order. I will let you know once it has shipped too.

Emily, Wonderfully written (of course)! We always travelled with our kids and this brought back lots of memories. I will share with young families I know. I was so impressed by your gumption and so glad it went so beautifully for you and the other pilgrims. One little thing: you can just bring up white noise or other sleep sounds on YouTube now! I sleep with brown noise a lot, but you can play white and green and rain/thunder, etc on your phone for free.
