Valentine’s 2023 Landed with Creativity

February 14 2023

I haven’t felt creative in quite a while (except for cooking 😂).

It felt good to make something for Thomas and Lillian to go along with their chocolate and truffles. 🎉❤️🎉

Blessings,

Music that Inspires: Love

June 23 2018:

Writing about Love and this came on …. All we need is love …

“Love is my religion,
Love is my religion,
Love is my religion
I’ll take you to the temple tonight
All my days I’ve been searching,
To find out what this life is worth
Through the books and bibles of time
I’ve made up my mind
I don’t condemn, I don’t convert,
This is a calling have you heard
Bring all the lovers to the fold,
‘Cause no one is gonna lose their soul
Love is my religion,
Love is my religion,
Love is my religion
Hey you can take it or leave it,
And you don’t have to believe it
I don’t want to fight,
Hey let’s go fly a kite
There’s nothing that we can’t cure,
And I’ll keep you in my arms for sure
So don’t let nobody stop us,
Free spirits have to soar
With you I share the gift,
The gift that we now know oh oh oh
Love is my religion,
Love is my religion,
Love…” -Ziggy Marley

Camilla

Love and Hearts: Refuel and Nourish Your Body

Love Flakes Heart 5.23.18

Just as I refuel and nourish your physical body,
You must take action to refuel and nourish your emotional and creative body.

You cannot serve others if you are deeply depleted.

Creativity and improvising become clouded and stagnant when you are depleted.

You tell yourself you must continue, yet unless you give yourself time away from those who unknowingly drain you; your circumstances will not improve.

There are those in your life you simply cannot distance yourself and break free from due to your role as caregiver.

Yet, you can begin to schedule time to replenish and refuel so that you can be loving and compassionate in this role.

Take heed. This must be done for your mental and emotional health. And, it must be done for those you love.

Love,
The Cereal

Well, lately I haven’t. Hence, this mornings message. I actually received it last night but this brought clarity. I had hit the point of no return last night. It hurt to even walk. I have been completely overwhelmed, sad, and absolutely not creative. And, this message is why. I am beyond empty. Deeply empty!! There aren’t even fumes to keep me going. I’ve been on empty for probably 2 years. I feel so much better having realized what’s going on and I took time to write this morning. I’ll be writing a blog post to expand on this so stay tuned.

Blessings,
Camilla

And in the midst
Of a clouded heart
And soul,
Love may go
Unnoticed.
Yet, be still.
And. Know.

And gently
Persist, it will.

Love and Hearts: The Broken Heart

Heart Shaped Rock - The Broken Heart 2017

And sometimes
It feels as if
The broken heart
Will never mend.

Lo, take heed.
The broken heart
Lies patiently
in waiting.

For the glorious day
When compassion
And unconditional
Love return to
The broken-hearted.

For that glorious day
When all the the
Broken-hearted join
Hands with
one another
To shine Light
where needed.

For that glorious day
When the Light
Shines so brightly
The darkness melts
With ecstasy
Into the One Love
Of all beings and nature.

Love,
The Rock and Nature

Love and Hearts: Love Has Many Forms

Snow Heart Love Many Forms 2017

Love has many forms,
Love gives,
Love receives,
Love is wet,
Love is dry,
Love is within,
Love is without,
Love is warm,
Love is cold,
Love is stardust,
Love is water,
Love is all there is,
Anything which appears
Not to be love
Is simply love going in
The opposite direction. 


Love,
The Snow and Mother Earth

Love and Hearts: Love is Ever There

Rock Heart Love is Ever There 2017

Doors close.
Control is lost.
Bewilderment envelops.

Yet, love is ever there. 
Waiting patiently for
The divinely timed
Occurrences not
Under ones control.

Be still. And know.
Love is ever there.

Love,
The Rock
