🎉 Happy Feast day of St. James! 🥾✨
July 25 marks the day we celebrate St. James the Greater — one of Jesus’ first disciples and the patron saint of pilgrims and Spain.

If you’ve ever dreamed of walking the Camino de Santiago, this is your day. St. James’ journey of faith, courage, and deep trust still inspires thousands to take the first step — not just on the trail, but in life.

Whether you’ve walked the Camino, plan to, or are just hearing about it for the first time, today’s a great day to pause, reflect, and maybe even start dreaming. 🌄💭

This photo was taken on my most recent solo trip in April when I arrived after 9 days walking & meeting very few people.

Plenty of time to just walk & be!

If it's on your bucket list, go to www.walkthisway.ie & sign up for info

Buen Camino, 🙏

Imposter syndrome plagued me for years!

Post covid I decided I'm embracing life & getting out of my own way.

It has been a rollercoaster - the highs the lows & the gut wrenching feelings of who am I ?, & wtf am I doing???

But with the right help & support from so many amazing people, I kept taking the steps. Sometimes more backwards than forwards!

I may not have a yoga body - whatever that looks like

However yoga has changed so much more, most importantly it has helped change my spiritual, emotional & mental wellbeing & how I show up in the world.

My 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training healed me more than I realised it could or would.

So to get to wrote about my two passions Yoga & the Camino for Yoga Therapy Ireland (YTI) magazine is an honour.

Very grateful to Maureen for this opportunity 🙏

Now I get to help & support others in my weekly class & on the camino

As I said to Eoin Camino Groups a few years ago ....working together will be a win win & im very grateful he agreed !

So you've lots of options join me on one of the group trips in Spain (2025 sold out) or on the Kerry Camino (2025 sold out) alternatively I can set up your Self guided trip check out my website www.walkthisway.ie

There is light at the end of the road!

Grief never ends it changes over time, but it shows how deeply we love.

So today, I'm sharing a poem I wrote yesterday remembering my brother David.

8th May 1994 forever etched in our memory & our hearts.

Thankfully, I found healing in many forms, but the peace I found in 2016 is touched upon below.

"Another Year"
The sun is shining as it did that day when our world was turned upside down
The darkness I thought would never fade, I no longer feel drowned.
I learned about acceptance and what a struggle this has been,
I learned about forgiveness, something I never thought I'd feel.
You see forgiveness doesn't mean being let off the hook, forgiveness means I take back my peace even when I feel shook!

Although grief brings up many questions, the biggest one is WHY?
Why us?
Why now?
Why David?

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DIE?????

The trauma, the hurt, the pain, the loss, it never goes away,
We all feel it differently as we move throughout our day.

I was trapped.....
in my body
in my mind
in my life
Barely existing in a life I really didn't like!

I didn't know it could be different or that I could change.....but then I went on a "hike"
It was more than just a walk it was the Camino de Santiago in Spain.
I didn't realise as each day passed and with every step I took ,that it would help to ease the pain.

With every day I walked, I dropped the mask a little more,
I realised there was a peace within that I had been searching for.
I was now ready to explore!

I started to feel, I really can do this, I can break the spell of grief and learn to live life again and feel a little bliss.
An open heart filled with gratitude, taking just one step at a time, knowing I am living now, not just existing on a timeline!

Feel Good Factor

Barbara Byrne is an inspiring Life Coach, International Co Author and Award winning Weight loss Consultant.

Barbara has worked tirelessly with women and men to coach, inspire and encourage them through their personal transformations for ten years.

She has empowered and supported clients to create change in their relationships with themselves and others as well as their personal lives, to achieve their personal goals.

Barbara knows firsthand the effects of intense grief, traumatic marriage breakdown and dark depression.

During this challenging time she realised that she had to change, not just for herself but for her children too.

That was when she decided to take time out , be in nature and do something different. An opportunity to walk part of the Camino de Santiago in Spain arose.

Not only did she walk the Camino way for herself but she also raised money for charity and it was there her passion for the Camino was ignited.

Her great love of the outdoors led to her own physical and emotional healing and well-being which resulted in her transformational journey beating depression, losing almost 6 stone and keeping it off over 8 years!

During this experience Barbara realised what her true purpose in life was and has since organised groups to visit Spain and Portugal to complete other routes along the Camino Way.

Her intention is to empower you to create the feel good factor in your life through mindful walking and experiencing the freedom of being outdoors in nature.

She is driven and passionate about enabling others to find their own way to personal freedom and also inspires them to find their way to feel better every day.
