Update from Malene – End of Walk

What an amazing, crazy, insane, blessing this last year have been! My walk has been an experience of a life time, and I feel so deeply blessed for every single one of you I have gotten to know. I made it to Albuquerque on my own two feet – almost 1000 miles. I met so […]

The Uncomfortable Space Between Enforcer and Public

With 8 times as many per capita murders by cops in Albuquerque compared to NYC, and with the DOJ who recently found that APD “Engaged in a pattern or practice of use of excessive force, including deadly force, in violation of the fourth amendment.” Albuquerque definitely has a problem with out of control cops.

Goals and Fundraising Efforts!

Someone on Facebook asked me if my goals had changed now I was crazy in love with a man – and my answer was: Falling Inlove changes nothing and everything. It changes nothing because  I am still the same person, and The Trail means a lot to me. It changes everything because we are now […]

Albuquerque – Sweet Complications

A Difficult Stretch – Burnside to Gallup to Grants

The stretch from Burnside, through Gallup to Grants continued with amazing connections, conversations and people. While it kept me enthralled with its beauty, it saw me with several difficulties of various kinds. The walk from Burnside to Ganado was rather easy, although it was a larger road. I arrived in Ganado, found the chapter house and […]

Into New Mexico – Taking Stock

In the middle of Window Rock I entered New Mexico – my third state to walk in to! And I felt proud. More than anything, I realized just how much I have changed, learned and grown. It seems each stretch has had its own topic. When I first started out in Los Angeles, it was […]
