Thank you to the lovely Stefanie in Flanders, Belgium for having me on her magical book blog.

Shiny New Windshield with Lovely Plants
June 4 2020
Look at that shiny new windshield and wipers!!!! I am so excited! Lovely, kind, mobile service by glassify. Thank you Olivia!!
My review on Yelp …
Olivia and her team are amazing! I have a high deductible, paying out of pocket for a new windshield, so price is extremely important to me. I didn’t want to use who I’ve used in the past as they don’t offer mobile service, and frankly, just aren’t very welcoming. For just a tad bit more, I was able to have Glassify come to me. Olivia was professional, fast at responding to my emails, and very kind. I felt like I mattered. It was a pleasant experience all the way around. Glassify has a new customer, should I ever need my car windows addressed again.

Lovely Walk of Inspiring Messages and Magical Moon Clouds
June 3 2020
I purposely did not post these yesterday. First time back here in nearly three months for an inspiring walk. I adore what this neighborhood has done, with lovely messages to brighten nearly every step of ones walk.
This walk inspired a couple of writings. Once they are written I must grow the courage to share them, as they are inspired by current events.
I’ve yet to sit and write them as I’ve been ungrounded the past few days. Yesterday was the cherry on top of being reminded that I needed to ground. My sun dress got caught on one of Thomas’s tree limbs in the garage, ripping it. The patio umbrella took flight with a forceful gust of wind, landing on top of the building behind us, where it still sits, lodged in the gutter. Then, once again, the bottom of my dress caught in something underneath the car as I was getting inside. At that point, I laughed harder than I’ve laughed in a while. Okay. Yes, I get it. Come back down to earth. Yes, yes.

Openly Sharing Personal Experiences – Camilla on Mai’s Musings Book Blog
May 2 2020
Why do I openly share personal issues and what happened in the beginning of 2020 for me? Thanks to the lovely Mai for having me on her book blog, Mai’s Musings.
” ….. Thank you Mai, for having me as a guest on your lovely blog. I deeply appreciate your time and effort.
My latest book, Words of Alchemy, is a culmination of a six year journey. A journey of turning into my writing, of a solid walking practice, a journey of going within, a journey of travelling to the past, a journey of living, and of healing.
Six years ago I wrote my first free-verse poem. This continued through to the publication of Words of Alchemy. I’m currently taking a break from writing, a break from the intensity of the past thirteen years. I reached the tipping point of my healing journey in the beginning of 2020. On the other side of it now, I can look back and see that it was one hell of a ride. Thirteen years of going within, excavating, confronting, feeling, feeling, feeling, and getting to know myself.
I share this to convey how much writing was a vital component of ….. ” Follow the link to read the full interview …
