Another wonderful and simple book I read to Thomas and Lillian … We all really liked it!

“Peace is Contagious

The energy of mindfulness can help improve your whole being. Just pay attention to your in breath. Allow it to be the way it is and you will see that the quality of your breathing naturally becomes calmer, deeper, and more harmonious all by itself. This is the power of simple recognition. When your breath is deeper and more peaceful, it will have an influence right away on your body and your mind. Peace and calm are contagious.”

Team TLC movie night … “Scrooge” … 1951 version with Alastair Sim. Thomas says, “Good, funny , inspiring, happy, good feeling, amazing”. Lillian says, “Good, funny, inspiring, happy, a good moral, good for Christmas, good ending, good music, good feeling, and amazing.” I say, “Good stuff!”

The Power of EMDR Therapy

April 15 2023

Let’s talk about EMDR therapy. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy.

I’m working with a therapist to help with the remnants of what I wasn’t able to fully move through during my nearly 10 year spiritual deep dive. Many of you know the time period I’m talking about. Much of it is in my 2nd book.

Currently having my mind blown with the power of EMDR therapy. I have much and deep childhood and teen trauma. We are at age 9 years old currently.

With this therapy, getting the iron deficiency anemia and pernicious anemia, and the gut issues under control, and the neurodivergent adult group I’ve been a part of the past couple of months, (and one other blowing my mind tidbit – 😉), I feel more alive, bright, and joyful than I have in many years.

I feel things lifting, shifting, and I’m making my way to having a kick ass second half of my life. Here I go dancing, walking, and strutting my way into exciting times! 💋❤️💐❤️💋

Waiting, waiting, waiting. My days of driving Thomas to appointments and waiting in the car are nearing an end. 🎉🎉🎉Thomas has mostly taken over, but this appointment is downtown with weird parking. Thomas isn’t comfortable with it yet.

New shoes just arrived. Had to go for a walk to test them. Love, love, love them! 💝💝💝

Camilla and Thomas 12.14.12

December 15 2012:

Mr. T and I are about to head out on our date. We’re making a a couple of HappY Messages to randomly leave somewhere. Thomas says, “The people who find these messages will make their own messages and spread to someone else and pretty soon the whole World will be sharing happY messages.” Right on Team Member T, Right on!!

**********

First stop on our date day … Frozen yogurt for lunch!!! YUM!!!

Got stuff to make his sister and his Mama a Christmas gift … One excited young man!!

Next stop, book shopping!!! One of this Team’s most favorite things!! We love books!!

Last stop on the BIG date!! More books!!! Yep!

Movie Date Night with me and Team Member T …. Just LOVE this movie … Now Thomas is writing a song called “Peace with You and Me” which he says will change the future … He says he has so many ideas he might need a folder to hold all of them … I think you may be right Thomas …

Spreading HappYness Day #15 (Part 1) – Thomas and I had a date day while Lillian is spending time with The Romano Duo. Mr. T made a HappY message to deliver while we were out on our date. He left it on someone’s windshield. He asked, “What if someone throws it away?” I told him we can’t control what people do with kindness after we share it with them and we shouldn’t let that keep us from being kind. Frozen yogurt for lunch, craft store for some inexpensive gifts that he can make, used book store, library and a movie, Scrooge – A Christmas Story. Now Thomas is writing a song called “Peace with You and Me” which he says will change the future.
