Coming Up: An Interview with Mony Dojeiji
who walked 5000 km from Rome to Jerusalem -
For Peace
Since I started this website I have had an opportunity to connect
with many fascinating people and Mony Dojeij is certainly one of
them. My good friend Sue Kenney connected
me with Mony, and when I first talked to her by telephone in her
new home in the beautiful Atlantic seaside town of Cadiz in Spain
I knew I had connected with another kindred spirit.
Mony has an interesting background. Born of Lebanese parents she
came to Canada at the age of 10 and grew up in Ottawa and Toronto.
Mony also experienced some early mid-life questions and realized
that her career and stressful lifestyle as a Microsoft sales executive
were no longer satisfying for her.
Mony quit and decided to walk the Camino de Santiago, another pilgrim
on this ancient, often life-transforming journey. While walking
the Camino, Mony realized that she wanted to do something for peace
and the idea germinated that she would go on a long journey from
Rome to Jerusalem to promote peace.
She is going to tell us about her story on this 5000 km long walk
that took her 13 months through 13 countries. Along the way, the
universe protected her and many amazing coincidences that in effect
weren't coincidences at all, came together to lead her life in a
completely new direction. This long walk taught her many lessons
about people, about herself, and about life in general.
Soon you'll read about these extended journeys that completely
transformed one woman's life and about Mony's big plans for the
future.
