Get to Know Me: The Soundtrack of My Life
I’m a member of an author/book reader facebook group, and the admins ask great questions. I decided to turn some of the questions into a “get to know me” series. I would also love to hear your answers to the questions posed in the series. Thanks Helen for asking such fun questions!
Which three songs would be the first picks in the soundtrack of your life – not necessarily your favourites but the most relevant.
My tastes in music are all over the place, depending on my mood, and what I’m doing, whether I’m driving, writing, or dancing. 😂
However, if we’re calling it The Soundtrack of Camilla’s Life, top 7 would be (one for each decade). Each to represent what that decade meant to/for me. I had to do this quick. If I put too much thought into it, we’d have several soundtracks!
1970: We Are Family by Sister Sledge
1980: Come on Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners
1990: Girls Just Want To Have by Cyndi Lauper
2000: Tainted Love by Soft Cell
2010: I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor
2020 (so far): I’m Coming Out by Diana Ross
All Decades: Born This Way by Lady Gaga
What about you?
Blessings,
Camilla

Throwback Post: Reblog: Thomas and Camilla August 2016 Date Day
**THROWBACK POST**
September 6 2016:
Thomas and Camilla August 2016 date day …. (Our date day got postponed by a few days as Thomas was sick!)
Ended the date with enjoying cookies after dinner. And then a starlit walk.
Little Washoe Lake ….
“Would anyone believe that playing with sticks and walking and splashing in the water would be so fun?” -Thomas
This was an impromptu stop as we drove right by on our way home from Carson City. And it was Thomas’ idea …. Kinda. As I had just thought, we should stop by the lake. Hmmm.
Thomas told me he was having so much fun and was so happy we stopped. I sat in the sand and watched him a while and then he asked me to join him. And I did. Took off my shoes and walked and splashed with him.
Cost of this date = $0 / Value = Priceless xoxo ….

Hello There
Hello there. Just me.
How are you?

Reblog: Generator With an Emotions Authority
December 27 2020
Been exploring this all afternoon. Mainly for Thomas. I’ll explore mine and Lillian’s after I’m finished with his. Deeply interesting, and fun! If you’re familiar with Human Design, what’s yours?
Thomas: Projector with a 4/6 profile and Spleen Authority.
Lillian: Manifesting Generator with a 6/2 profile and Emotions Authority.
Camilla: Generator with a 2/5 profile and Emotions Authority.
If you’re familiar with Human Design, and familiar with us, what do you think? Sound like us?
I spent almost 2 days putting together a report for Thomas, with all of his information. Whew!

Reblog: Thomas and Camilla January 2021 Date Day
January 23 2021
Yesterday was the January 2021 Thomas and Camilla Date Day
Lunch from House of Mexica (all Vegan menu)
Jungle Tamale and Mexica fries for me. BBQ Mac hamburger and fries for Thomas. Horchata for both of us to rinse it all down.
We had a car picnic with a lovely view at Aubrey Harris park, and then went for a walk at Virginia Foothills park.

Throwback Post: Bring Your Light to the Fire
**THROWBACK POST**
February 20 2017:
“Live in the present. That’s in the past. Let it go.” –Lillian Darnell
We teach what we most need to learn. Thank you Lillian for sometimes being the student and sometimes being the teacher.
(Photo from a walk around Spooner Lake – July 2020)
I stand at the beginning of my third week of confronting some deeply buried crud. I feel this week will be the climax and I’m grateful for all that I’ve shared and modeled for Thomas and Lillian as they hold space for me when I need it most.
This year’s theme for me is “The Shift” and I don’t seem to be wasting any time! xoxo –
May this resonate with whoever it resonates with … xoxo
“It’s time to step into the flames of the fire. The time is now to connect with that which you fear from your past. The past no longer exists and cannot cause you harm. However, when it is avoided and sidestepped; it does indeed cause you harm.
This avoidance and sidestepping keeps you a prisoner of the past and held captive to a perceived smallness. As the flame grows, be still and know that you are not alone. Be still and know it cannot hurt you. It cannot consume you.
By bringing your light to the flames of the fire, it will be extinguished and transformed into the light of freedom.
The freedom to claim your power. The freedom to know who you are. The freedom to shine your light with others.
Be still. And Know.” – Camilla
**September 2020 Update** – 2017 was absolutely a year of shifting for me. I walked into and processed much deep, painful healing. Nearing the end of 2020, it’s difficult for me to wrap my mind around all that I processed and healed. Life is such a wild adventure!! I sit on the other side of all of this, and let out a deep, peaceful, and comforting sigh. You did it, Camilla. You did it!
(I recently changed the hosting company for this website, along with all other websites I manage. In the aftermath, my draft posts got deleted. Oh no! Fortunately, they were in the back up and could be reinstalled. However, the original draft dates were deleted. I’m taking that as a sign that it’s time to do cleanup and housekeeping.)
Blessings,
Camilla
