When Donna
embarked on her pilgrimage back in July 2002, she pledged to write along the
way and share the stories of her experiences. It was then she left her job and
became a Pilgrim and Storyteller.
What began as
a small e-mail list of a dozen or so interested friends and family has grown
into a 600-strong Yahoo group called ThePilgrim. Its
members are from many different backgrounds, cultures and countries and the
stories are forwarded on to thousands more.
ThePilgrim
stories have been published in newspapers, journals and magazines around the
world as well as countless websites.
The stories
are available here with the most recent posts first. So if you want to follow
the pilgrimage journey from the beginning in chronological order, read from the
bottom up.
You can
join ThePilgrim group by sending an e-mail to thepilgrim-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
