There’s so much mental turmoil being stirred up these days. Like someone turned over a log and all the creepy crawlies are scattering this way and that. And sensitive people feel it…feel all the anger, the angst, the fear. It compounds, feels like an unstoppable wave of yuck. Triggers our own fears. And there seems … Continue reading Fire Hose of Love
These are the final days of Chronicles of Cammy. I’m creating a new blog called “The Way of the Saucy Dame.” It will be filled with sauciness (maybe), dame-i-ness (maybe) and, just perhaps, some pithy comments. If, actually, WHEN, this all transpires, I will publish the link to The Way of the Saucy Dame and … Continue reading Ch-ch-ch-changes

It is raining today, and not the warm summer-kind-of-rain, although it’s not really cold, either. But it’s one of those rains that foretells of sweaters and fire sides and wool socks and hearty soups. The cats are a tad annoyed. They wanted to go prowling today. I’m sure they will have their opportunities during Indian … Continue reading Bringing It Home

I am … Continue reading We Pause for Station Identification

Great company on a lovely day out in nature. I’m now refreshed and refueled with beauty. Which is … Continue reading Mt. Rainier’s Floral Mantle

Really lovely people, here, in this small town. Met some fellow artisans. Bought some cool things. Oh…did we sell … Continue reading Chillin’
It’s time. I am at the precipice. I am about to step off and commit to my new way of sharing what I am with the world. In other words, I am creating the workshops and programs I will be teaching/facilitating. I’ve been pretty hesitant, unsure, a little frightened even. Because this is it. I’m … Continue reading Creating the Portal
I love vistas and views. I love gazing off, far into the distance. Growing up, I lived on a hill. My Dad and I would stand in our yard and watch the storms come through…until my Mom told us to come in because we would be struck by lightening. My Mom had a fearful nature. … Continue reading Baby Steps vs. Smart Steps
I paint to know. I paint to learn. I paint to understand what’s below the surface; that deep river of beingness all life possesses. Be it a portrait of the land, an animal or coming to an understanding about my own, inner world, my intention is to capture the spirit of my … Continue reading Why I Paint, Take Two
