Do you know how amazing and inspiring it is to be reading imaginative, creative, fictional accounts of your young daughter’s life, written by her?
Lessons she’s learned and emotions she has experienced with the wisdom words you have shared woven throughout? WOW and just, WOW! xoxo

Editing mode again and this one spoke to be shared. It’s from the “Emotions” section of the book. (Less than half the book remaining to edit!)
Apple Named Calm Sparkle
Hey, everyone! Are you wondering who is Calm Sparkle? If you answered yes, you’ve come to the right place. Read on to find out.
Once there lived a small apple whose name was Calamity. The apple didn’t know how to say Calamity but she was able to say,”Calm Sparkle.” So her name was shortened to Calm S.
True to her name, she grew to be a big calm sparkly apple. One day, she didn’t seem so calm. She explained,”I’m just anxious to see my relatives. The last time I saw them was when I was a small applet.”
So as time went on, she wasn’t calm at all. After her relatives left, she admitted she outgrown her calmness. The apple asked for help and everyone tried to help.
One spring morning, she felt unusually calm. She suddenly realized her calmness had returned. When she announced her calmness had returned, everyone clapped and cheered.
To this day forward, she can be found in everyone’s heart. She might be hiding or showing her calmness to your inner self.
(14 years old – June 2016)
We’ll have the published book by end of November at the latest! Our goal is to receive 50 pre-orders! 14 received so far! Go here if you would like to pre-order. xoxo

This sweet little delicate hand. She found this leaf yesterday on our walk around the lake. She brought it all the way home, then released it in the wind. She asked me to take a picture of it. Due to sensory issues I don’t get to hold that sweet little hand in mine, don’t get to snuggle up close to her, and don’t get to smother her with kisses. I’m taking this sweet little hand in mine (in my imagination) and we are about to begin a fun adventure. She and I are going to put our imaginations and hearts together and write our first children’s book. Let’s see what we come up with. The ideas must be inside of us for a reason. Time to release them just like that beautiful leaf. xoxo
**Update** November 5 2017: Want to help? “Where Would You Fly and Other Magical Stories” is in the final stages of editing. Then our angel helper will be adding Lillian’s artwork and transforming into a book format.
It would be an incredible blessing for Team TLC to pre-sell 10-50 copies of the book. It should arrive by end of November 2017 at the latest. Plus you will receive a special gift for pre-purchasing. xoxo

After 2 years The Romano Duo are headed back our way!! Not quite all the way to Reno, yet closer! Reno has gone a bit crazy with the cost of housing … Not to mention how crowded it’s getting.
Get ready Surprise, Arizona (near Phoenix). The Romano Duo are headed your way. At least now they will only be a full days drive away! Thomas and Lillian say, “Finally!” They have missed being able to see them more often.

It was a choosing pumpkins adventure this afternoon! And then we celebrated with an amazing piece of chunky apple cinnamon bread.
What Thomas chose as a celebratory treat for our choosing pumpkins adventure …. Harvest Blend – A Complete Salad with baby kale, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin spice cornbread croutons and pumpkin vinaigrette. They were handing out samples and he loved it! I sure like him! He’s a grand adventure!
October 20 2017:
Thomas’ second time volunteering. He was incredibly excited as the volunteer t-shirts had finally arrived. He bought both our shirts with his own money.
These two are super friendly!! The short hair with the white chest wanted to eat my phone. Guess he was shy about getting his picture taken. Remember …. Black cats are GOOD luck.

Emotional Freedom Technique …. Tapping … EFT …. That’s the other technique I will be adding to my toolbox. I’m so excited to be adding this.
I was moved to learn this in 2013 and it’s been on my “list” ever since. Enough with being on the list!
Who is ready for a tapping session? I will be offering complimentary sessions to begin with … Let me know if you’d like to experience it? xoxo
******************
October 19 2017:
So Excited! Last night I signed up my first EFT – Tapping client. Thank you and bring me more please. I can’t wait to be of service with this tool! There will be quite a few gratis sessions. Let me know if you’re interested … xoxo

Just got home and I am so full of warm fuzzy feelings. I had to make a quick run to the library tonight to return some items in the after hours drop. It would have taken about 15 minutes round trip.
Instead of driving alone, I invited Thomas and Lillian to come along so we could make it into an adventure. It reminded me so much of when they were younger and we made every single trip in the car into an adventure.
We drove to the library and I took a different and longer way home. As I was driving, Thomas asked where to next. I thought, you got that right.
So we took a drive down memory lane and then some. Turned a 15 minute run to the library into an hour long adventure.
I Loved That. I Love It. I love how crazy I am. I love that I bust out in song, in verse, in rhyme simply in conversation with them.
I love how things Thomas and Lillian say cause me to think about songs or movies and I bust out with movie titles or singing crazy songs.
I love it when I cause Lillian to laugh so hard she’s crying. I love how fast I can improvise and I love when we are all in sync with being spontaneous!
This message brought to you by … Love …. We now return you to your normal programming ….. xoxoxoxo
Lillian’s artwork titled “Rainbow of Emotions”
Ever wonder why we sometimes see double rainbows? … from the book, “Where Would You Fly”, by Lillian Darnell … I’m having fun editing. xoxo
Rainbow Love
This story is about rainbows and love. I hope you enjoy!
Once there lived two rainbows who didn’t want to separate for the love of nature. Their names were Candy Rainbow and Princess Rainbow. One day, Candy Rainbow was accidentally separated from Princess. What they didn’t know was the Nature fairy had split them in half.
Candy desperately looked for Princess but there was no sign of her. Meanwhile, Princess was where Candy wasn’t. She was anxious to find him but the Nature fairy wouldn’t let her. Candy got up to ask the Nature Fairy. What the fairy said, “No, I haven’t seen her. I didn’t separate you.”
Candy thought the fairy was being suspicious. Princess started suspecting the fairy. After a year past, they accidentally ran into each other. When the fairy found out, she was furious.
The fairy decided to put Princess invisible so she couldn’t be seen when they bumped into each other. Candy tried to explain to the Nature fairy that rainbow magic was more powerful than fairy magic. Since the nature fairy wouldn’t listen, Candy decided to show her what he tried to explain.
His plan was to use his magic and power to get Princess out of the invisible world. So when Princess saw he was stretching out to use his power, she decided to reach over and touch his stretched arc. Candy felt lighter somehow but he didn’t know how.
Suddenly the invisible spell broke. The fairy was shocked at what happened but the fairy had to vanish. “It was me who helped you, Candy”, said Princess softly. “Thank you, Princess!” and the rainbows’ love was returned.
Princess thought if people saw them, it would be easier to have one rainbow be invisible. Princess decided to go invisible but Candy was able to see her. Every once in awhile, Princess appeared behind Candy. That is why some people see double or triple rainbows.

Just back from meeting with Laureen Jordan to get keys and tour this wonderful oasis she has created. This is the other space I’ll have available for Reiki sessions.
Everything is brand new. It’s such an amazing space! Also perfect for the mindfulness workshops I’ve created.
Plus!! Another technique I’m currently learning. Announcement soon regarding that. Such a blessing Laureen!!
***********************
Just finished editing the story “Princess Beauty” wherein the character names are interestingly familiar … Queen Camilla, Princess Lillian, Maiden Becca, Maiden Macy, Britney, Katie ….. Onward with the editing!!
October 8 2017:
I may have a second space to offer Reiki; in an amazing and wonderful wellness center! This will help in accommodating clients in different parts of town. Fingers crossed and wee rose petals crossed too!
“This was my first time experiencing Reiki and it was wonderful. I was so deeply relaxed and comfortable I was in and out of sleep! During my session with Camilla I even got a vision of a beautiful image I want to paint. Camilla had just the right colors and scents in the room too, catered just for me! I’ll definitely be doing this again in the near future. Please give her Reiki sessions a try, she’s got a gift. 🙂” – Natalie Gorden, Reno, Nevada
Already have my first round of clients scheduled since receiving the internal nudge to begin offering Reiki once again! I have so many more tools, techniques, and ideas to support clients … Use of mindfulness, meditating, and nature. And, soon, another technique! xoxoxo

I am beyond excited, grateful, and blessed to announce that I now have an amazing, beautiful, and soul soothing environment at which to offer Reiki …. Pinnacle Wellness!
You can experience a Reiki session stand alone or you can combine it with one of Pinnacle’s modalities or experience one of their modalities afterwards.
The punch card they offer is an amazing deal! I CANNOT wait to use the Halotherapy room. It is calling me big time!
I also have the beautiful space in North Reno! Now I can accommodate those coming from different ends of town! So incredibly grateful …. xoxoxo… Perhaps this photo can show in some way how far and deep my gratitude extends …
October 13 2017:
I arrived at Pinnacle Wellness yesterday morning to give one Reiki session and left in the afternoon after giving two! My client enjoyed it so much her husband wanted a session too!
They both had a Reiki session and took turns enjoying two of Pinnacle’s services while the other enjoyed Reiki. They were so incredibly relaxed and joyful when they left! I have two openings next week up for grabs!! Feeling incredibly grateful and blessed … xoxo
