episode 15 ipilgrim podcast -- The feast of St. James

Hey Pilgrims,
We here at ipilgrim podcast would like to wish you happy St Jimmy day. That's right, July 25th is the feast of St. James.  Santiago or St. James the Greater was the first of the apostles to die.
Jesus basically sent out his apostles to evangelize the world. He told them: Do not get any gold or silver or copper to take with you in your belts-- no bag for the journey or extra shirt or sandals or a staff, for the worker is worth his keep. (Matthew 10:9-10) Even now, pilgrims are still following the pilgrimage route with as little as they can carry, and trust me, modern day pilgrims try to carry a lot. Perhaps Jesus knew that carrying around all that stuff destroys your knees, sprains your back and gives you tendonitis.
In today's podcast, we discuss the feast day celebrations. Also we have feedback from a listener and then we revisit some folk remedies (or not so folk remedies.)
Please feel free to leave us feedback here and like us on our facebook page.

Buen Camino!
Deborah



Hey Pilgrims,
I have to admit that I've had a month of all work and no play. It is one of those month where The Camino seems very far away. That is until Lydia Smith released her Director's Message and I felt the Camino getting nearer.
And not only did Lydia brighten my day with her Director's Message, so also delivered some great news about ipilgrim podcast. During the "power of one" campaign, The Camino Documentary was giving back some of the funds raised to one organization that was Camino related and funds back to an individual who wouldn't normally be able to go on the Camino. I'm pleased to announce that Ipilgrim Podcast received the funds for the organization.
One of my dreams of the Camino even in 2009 before I walked the Camino, I wanted to podcast each leg along the Camino. I started in 2009 and then slowly, was sidetracked by my lack of computer space, wifi and my cool new Camino friends. Now that wifi is better and technology has improved a bit, I'm ready to try it again. With the funds, I will try to podcast from Spain.
I'm very excited also for the individual, Sarah Van Treeck. I know I told many of my friends to apply for the give back campaign. Sarah and I work together in Orlando. She had always heard my stories of the Camino and said that she had an overwhelming "calling" to go that she just couldn't explain. (It sounded familiar.) She's so excited, that even before she knew about the campaign, she went out and bought her "Camino" hiking boots. She and I have tested them out a couple of time hiking around Walt Disney World Resorts. (And yes, I know Disney is not Spain, but it's a start.)
But Lydia still needs help with the film.  The Camino Documentary - an amazing film that highlights the physical, emotional and spiritual journeys of pilgrims from around the world as they walk the Camino Francés. To learn more about theproject - and watch the trailer, recently released Director’s Message, and other video clips - please visit The Camino Documentary website or Facebook page.
We need your help to get the word out about this film! Right now, The Camino Documentary  in the middle of the “Power of One” crowd funding campaign, and still have a long way to go with raising funds to edit the film. So many pilgrims from all over the world - from Australia, to South Korea, to Scotland, to Colombia - have already joined in and donated to help finish The Camino Documentary.
The farther we can reach to Camino lovers around the world, the more people will get behind the film and be inspired to make it a reality. If, after learning more about the project, you feel as moved as I was to become a volunteer, we would so
appreciate you telling others (friends, family, facebook,  forums, twitters, bloggers) about it.
Under the Get Involved section of The Camino Documentary  website, there are a variety of banners and blurbs that we'd love for you to post on your website/blog/newsletters/etc. and hyperlink to our website. We hope you have fun picking the banner that best
compliments your site's color scheme, choosing the blurb that fits best on your page, or maybe even writing something of your own to tell your members/subscribers/followers/readers why you support the film.
And don't forget to let us know where you post these so we can stay connected and
acknowledge you on our site!
Thank you, and ¡Buen Camino!
