It's rare to read such a genuinely personal and vulnerable accounting of overcoming obstacles from someone in the public eye. I've been reading Sonia Choquette's books and attending her workshops for nearly 20 years, and she's always down-to-earth, real, and relatable. However, this journey goes beyond that, and demonstrates a real commitment to the truth. Sometimes spiritual teachers, like everybody else, can get really wrapped up in their egos and self-importance. It is completely delightful and inspiring when somebody in that position is able to get real, admit that their life isn't any more perfect than yours or mine, and that they have to grow and learn just like everybody else. The book really brings home that we are all in the same boat, and every single one of us can find our way back home to wisdom, intuition, our heart, and our best selves, regardless of our "stature", job, or position. Beyond that, it is a really entertaining and enjoyable read-- injury! illness! impetuous pilgrims! weather! Thank you for the humility and the healing, and for setting such a good example of how to be true to ourselves.

Sonia Choquette is one of the most eloquent and sought after spiritual leaders of our time. With her wide array of books, oracle cards and courses, it’s easy to see why she has earned a way into our hearts. And in my opinion, this is her best book yet.
I love the authenticity and raw emotions that bleed through the pages. I have often said that love is not a universal language, but pain is. Everyone understands pain, but not everyone understands love.
In this book, Sonia is honest about the pain she silently suffered through for many years while teaching her classes and workshops. Who knew that between that intuitive heart and dazzling smile, was a woman who was hiding a lifetime of emotional wounds. She wasn’t just hiding these wounds from her friends and audiences. She was hiding them from herself.
After the death of her brother and father, Sonia began to experience feelings of intense anger, frustration and denial. Old wounds from her past began to creep up and consume her. Shake it off as she tried, these feelings became stronger and they demanded to be dealt with. As if losing her brother and father wasn’t enough, she was married to someone whom she no longer connected with. When she needed comfort, he needed something to complain about.
In the face of pain, she realized that all of those old wounds that she thought she had released weren’t really gone. They had simply gone into hiding. And now, with this dramatic turn of events, they had emerged in an unexpected way. After yet another heated argument with her husband over something petty (which apparently was the norm for them), she had finally decided that she had had enough, and demanded a divorce.Read more ›

What a joy it is reading Sonia Choquette's proactive approach to dealing with heartbreak.
Are you dealing with setbacks, disappointments or challenges?
Don't talk them out. WALK THEM OUT. Thinking and talking about what's wrong won't make it right.
As Sonia's thought-provoking book shows, walking gets you out of inertia and into motion. Instead of emotionally spinning your wheels, you move forward purposefully so you feel you're making tangible progress.
Getting out of the house and getting into nature can lift your spirits and put your problems in perspective.
Many of our best thinkers talk about the creative powers of walking. Sonia's marvelous book demonstrates the healing powers of walking. Read it and reap. Read it and walk.

I found this book Brave, Candid and Refreshing.
I am a big fan of Sonia's work and have attended her workshops. Like many spiritual authors and teachers of our time, it's easy to look up to her and think she's a modern soothsayer that has it all figured out and is immune to the issues of her readers and clients. As she reveals in her book, this is not the case at all.
She is guided to walk The Camino following a triple doozy of life events: death of her brother, followed by the death her father and her own impending divorce. Realizing she must face the music she gets very personal and pulls everything hidden in the basement of her psyche out into the light to be dissected as she places her perpetually sore feet on the Spanish trail.
She takes to the Camino armed with 75 Power Bars, a small backpack she wears each day and a much larger one she hilariously names "Cheater" since she pays a shuttle service to transport it for her each day. Sonia is gifted with the archetype of Storyteller. The juicy parts of her books are always the stories and this makes Walking Home quite a captivating read since it's a long story containing many little stories or reflections within it. The book is written in a diary style logging both the daily mundane (but important to a pilgrim) events: breakfast, sleep and weather, along with the daily troubling thoughts, emotional ups and downs, provocative insights and moments of clarity.
We've all been there in one way or another and that's why its so good. Sonia is funny and you feel the annoyance of having nothing but crappy toast and bad coffee for breakfast when you are walking miles a day, and you cheer with her when she finds an amazing spread or great company.Read more ›
