In this heartening episode of Self Transformation Radio, we meet the remarkable Kathleen Donnelly Israel, whose story of walking the Camino Santiago at 72 years of age is a testament to the human spirit's capability for renewal and adventure at any stage of life.

Kathleen Donnelly Israel is an inspiring septuagenarian who embarked on a spiritual and physical journey on the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain at the age of 72. After taking care of her husband with Parkinson's disease for ten years, Kathleen decided to fulfill her dreams by walking the historical pilgrimage route, covering over 500 miles. She is an avid learner, having studied with enlightened thought leaders and healers online during her husband's illness. Kathleen is a Catholic and considers the Camino a holy pilgrimage, which has been a transformative experience in her life. She is also a writer, documenting her journey and the wisdom she gained in her book.

"Worrying is making up a sad story and believing in it, and it's not even true."

"We might think, 'oh, I did this, so this is going to happen.' But really, there's endless possibilities."

"If you have a dream and you find a way to do it, then you need to just do it."

"Walking makes you better at walking. You can't just walk 10 miles a day and not get better at it."

"Dear God, please make everything turn out okay. And then I let God make everything turn out okay."
