… or don’t you want to think about September yet?

I know - it’s still only just August.

Although I did see this tweet on Wednesday last week, July 31st:

And another stating how many days until Christmas,

and a ‘book your Christmas party now’ sign.

I’m in the USA at the moment, of course.

But I bet there are signs of what’s ahead wherever you are.

So - how are you feeling about September?

What are the issues facing you when summer is over?

I’d love to know your thoughts and feelings on this

and be able to pray for you.

I promise to read them all even if I’m not able to reply

to every single one.

Me?

I’m walking another part of the Via Francigena in Tuscany

in late October. I need to get in shape to do a challenging walk again!

And that’s quite an issue for me at the moment, and rather daunting.

I’m giving away a free download which will help you to enjoy a special time while you walk this summer, - however long or short your walk might be. It will give you 5 simple ways to enjoy a mini retreat, time with the Lord, while you walk. Each of the 5 is easy to do, and each gives you a way to connect with God perhaps in a way you haven’t before.

All you have to do is fill in your email address and the freebie will slip into your inbox.

Happy summer walking and retreating!

- AND you’ll be one of the first to know when my new book “Walking Back to Happiness” is published this autumn. Can’t wait to tell you more about it - it’s a memoir about the epic walk across France in June 2018, when, our marriage in a dire way, my husband and I walked from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic; and how we found ourselves in France.
