Blog postThe Beauty of Spooner Lake With an Art Showing of Clouds and Rare Purple July 12 2020
Amazing socially distanced hike around Spooner Lake, organized by Tahoe Herbivores. Walked a couple of miles, sat for lunch, and then another mile. Incredibly beautiful and peaceful. My first time here, so lots of photos.

Blog postThe Key
When ignored,
the darkness within
slowly erodes this physical body
When stuffed and buried deep within,
it silently grows stronger.
At some point along the path
and at many times,
the darkness surfaces.
Fast as a bullet train
or ever so slowly as a tortoise.
It will not be denied.
Keep turning our hearts away, we can.
Yet, the darkness will not depart
until it has space to be recognized.

the voice of the divine.
I will not lead you astray.

Mother Earth when you

Blog postI was recently interviewed by author, D.G. Kaye, on her lovely blog. We chat about mermaids, fairies, gypsies, being a Pisces, unexpected life paths and how they led to becoming an author, following inner nudges, and writing with my eyes closed. Join us …
What hobbies do you enjoy when not writing?
Walking. Going for walks in nature, whether on a paved walking path, or a dirt trail in the woods. I adore going for walks, taking photographs of nature along the way. I find nature -

Blog postUn Doing
Speak your truth dear one
with a golden tongue
let it be known
your true self
ride the times of the wind
listen to the longing of your heart
slow down the drum beat
of the must be doing
listen to the melody
of relaxation as it
plays ever more
in your bones
when this is allowed
when this is welcomed
what is truly of your
concern will rise to the surface
do as you must -

Blog postOn Tuesday, September 8, 2020, I was overcome with warm childhood memories of my Aunt Mary, along with feeling her with me, followed by a knowing that her time was short. I did not know that she had recently taken a fall and had developed life threatening blood clots. In fact, I had not spoken with her in years, except through facebook.
On Thursday, September 10, 2020, I received two facebook messages from cousins letting me know that she had passed away an hour and a half earlier. Al -

Sunset walk with Lillian.
Sometimes parenting is a bed of roses.
Sometimes parenting is a bed of thorns.
Sometimes I know exactly where I’m going.
Sometimes I don’t know whether I’m coming or going.
Yet, the walks I take, the scenes my eyes frame, the photos I take, being in nature, always brings peace and comfort.
PS:This parenting gig, especially single parenting, is not for the faint of heart.
Blessings,
Camilla < -
