I first walked the Camino Frances in 2004.

I was a student at the time and I wanted something to do during the summer. One of my college mates had walked from Holland to Santiago a few years before and he kept going on about this “Camino de Santiago” - to me it sounded horrible, walking all day across Spain, carrying my own clothes, sleeping in a hostel / albergue with many others I did not know. No thanks.

Dara, my friend, ended up making it sound good and I decided to “give it a try” - I had no religious or spiritual beliefs regarding the Camino, even though I was a student at Ireland’s main Catholic University. My thoughts setting out on the journey were - if I don’t like this experience I will just go somewhere else in Europe for the Summer.

The journey turned into “something” for me - and I still have problems putting that something into words many years later. My attitude and thinking about some things changed while there - I spent time talking to people who gave their time freely to man albergues, I talked to many others walking the Camino from all over the world - something happened to me, and it was good, very good.

I endured somethings that I never thought I would, I became ill and was helped - I came back from my first Camino a stronger and perhaps a more caring person - and in a strange way I developed some pride in an achievement that I had not set out to achieve.

I went back and walked again the next year. It was different, this time I went with a different mind and a softer heart.

I am not generally given to hyperbole or psycho mumbo jumbo, however the Camino changed my life and the direction. I now believe that journeys like this are very important for people and it is a great idea to do it at least once.

I would rather that pilgrims did not set out with a mind like mine the first time - but if that is where they are at that time, then so be it. I talked, listened, and read at lot on the Camino.

The one thing that I read that sticks in my mind today goes things like this, forgive my paraphrasing. While on the Camino you follow the yellow arrows, they show you the way, give direction. What do you follow after the Camino?

All the best to everyone for 2009

The plus lingerie comes in a wider range than ever now. The plus size panties for plus size ladies are now thankful substitutions for their earlier frumpy, granny inner wears. In contrast to their dull, drab look, with the plus size panties of these days, bigger women now afford to take on a seductive look that guarantees to beat their partners’ hearts faster.

Happy New Year to everyone, I hope that it is a good year for us all.

I start the year with loads of energy, it is like another chance to see what I can do, it would be great to get that down to every day.

All the best

Testing is one of the things that has to be done on adwords, testing landing pages, testing keywords, testing ad copy, this all works towards a great campaign.  I came across this result on Google while looking for the Camino de Santiago, my search query was “camino santiago” - and number one on the paid [...]

Killiney beach is a great place for a walk and easy to get to.  Driving, head south on the N11 until the first roundabout, take the first left and follow the signs.  From the centre of Dublin it takes about 30/40 minutes.  The easiest way to get there is by Dart, the local train service.  There is a dart station right at the beach.

We went hunting for some big trees while on Vancouver Island.  We had heard from the guide books that the trees were very old - 1000 years or so, and they were enormous.  We didn’t find the ones that we were looking for - but these are fairly impressive anyway - oh and they were only 700 years old.

The day before Christmas and here I am sitting and relaxing watch Harry Potter on the TV. I think Christmas is all about friends, family, TV, and food. Oh, so what about the religious bit?

I am not a believer in any religion and this time of the year is arbitrary for the date of Jesus birth - December 25th was only decide for his birth 600 years after he had died, but pagans had been celebrating at this time of the year for long before.

Anyway the socks are up and it looks like santa has put some presents in them already.

There are many people I will not see at this time of the year and I want to wish them all a Merry Christmas and I wish you all a great 2009, may you work towards your dreams and have your feet on the earth.

This was one of the keywords that some used to find my SEO blog yesterday.  Strangely enough it is not a phrase that was on the page - though I wrote a post about something similar a year ago.
Now were they asking “Is SEO in a recession?” or “SEO for my website during a recession?”
