"It was just me. And the sun rays. And Mother Earth. And God. My heart filled with so much passion and tenderness that I started crying-yes, again-with such joy and gratitude that I was able to witness this sensational sunrise. It was a solitary and yet universal feeling at the same time. I was alone, and yet the entire universe of love was within me. I felt God's power. I felt special that I was given this moment. I made a pact with God, magic, and the Universe that day to be the best I could be in love, motherhood, and my career. I wanted to shine from the inside like the shimmery ice fields and carry that light with me." Heart of the Wild is the memoir of a woman's journey trekking solo through Argentina and Chile, in the heart of Patagonia. What she discovered along the way was more than just an adventure. It provided the opportunity to search deep within and discover her inner grit and endurance, and she learned to love harder, let go more easily, and when her life depended on it, fight for survival.Trekking through Torres del Paine National Park on the W Trek, braving the Huemul Circuit in El Chaltén to see the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, and visiting all the small cities along the way showed this solo female traveler how wildly rugged and serene this world can be. Heart of the Wild is not only an adventure account of trekking through the wild, but also a reflection journey to rediscover the wild living in our own hearts.
