I’ve never used this before … Yet, I’m kinda, sort of, like, REALLY exhausted and was moved to give this a go for the wee bit remaining to fully cover the cost of this year’s Chromosome 18 Conference. If it moves you and you feel it the right thing to do, please share. Much love! The conference is being held July 21st-24th in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Once a year she gets the opportunity to be amongst friends and those who get her, those who judge not. Once a year, she gets the opportunity to attend a life changing event. And, every year it does, sometimes a small change, sometimes a huge change. She chooses the time approaching this once a year event, and at the event itself, to conquer fears so as to have exciting news to share with friends …….
Visit this link to read more and to share should it move you. With deep gratitude for all who have shared and donated in the past few days. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-lillian-spread-her-wings
Hello beautiful friends, family, and some wonderful people I really just don’t know! Hahaha! If you enjoy, are inspired by, motivated by or just love the content, writings, poetry and photography I share here and on CamillaDowns.com, MeetingtheAuthors.com or TheTeamTLC.com; I invite you to buy me a coffee!!
I put a ton of work into all of these venues, and I love doing it! I need plenty of caffeine to keep up with all these things, on top of being a single mom to two beautiful (and one incredibly needy) kiddos!! Much love to all of YOU! xoxo
Thank you to those who have bought a coffee, rounds of coffee, even! Deeply blessed! -Camilla

Thomas and I enjoyed dinner tonight at Moon Rabbit Cafe pay what you can cafe. Solstice Seoul Food – Asian Inspired Tex-Mex specially created by chef Tina Hogue!
For starters pop jalapeno poppers dipped in kimchi ranch sauce cooling off with hibiscus lemonade.
The entree was Fusion Fajitas with Korean chili chicken and sauteed veggies served in flour or corn tortillas & cilantro rice. I had the veggie only version.
Thomas ended with Chinese 5 spice tres leches cake and I had this lovely dairy free ice cream and whipped topping.

Yesterday afternoon I had a distance Reiki session. Sending Reiki to a client in Surrey England. When the session was over I stepped outside to ground myself. Stood in the dirt, underneath this tree with my hands touching the tree. Then I looked up. Went back inside to get my phone and capture the beauty. What a session it was!
I have been on sabbatical from giving Reiki. When asked last week if I was willing to do a distant Reiki session, without hesitation I replied yes. That has not been the case in the past.
I feel it is time to offer this once again. So, if interested, let me know.
from Lalita … “The distance Reiki session with Camilla was healing nurturing, soothing, and powerful. It was a beautiful experience and one I treasure so much. – Lalita, Surrey, England

Peaceful Summer by Lillian Darnell …. There’s still time to participate in Lillian’s fundraiser and get a custom poem created especially for you .. This one was created for a lovely supporter in Tasmania.
Here’s the beautiful comment from Patricia once she received her custom poem …
Dear Camilla and Lillian
Thank you! The poem is everything I hoped for and more, and paints a brilliant word-picture. I look forward v. much to seeing the image, and know it, too, will be special.
As we approach Winter Solstice here in the Southern Hemisphere, it’s particularly lovely to be reminded of the pleasures and promise of summer.
Peace.
Patricia
The donation amount is completely up to you. Go here to learn why Lillian is fundraising and also if you’d like a custom poem of your own.

First round of senior/graduation photos for Lillian. She’s wants photos at a different location too! Ha!
This was the perfect spot for the first set. The little garden behind the library. We’ve been coming here ever since she was 5 years old.
I’ve taken tons of photos of the three of us in this little garden throughout the past 12 years. 🙏🎉💗💗💗🎉🙏
