I loved the school girl piece! I was kind of hoping she’d jump into the water! For some reason mum steering the boat is the strongest image for me. Beautiful!!

Hi Susan, thanks so much for reading, for your kind words, and for commenting here on Substack. And it’s funny that you write that you were hoping the school girl character depiction of my younger self would jump in the water, as we had a friend who “accidentally“ often “fell in” the water on the way to school so she didn’t have to go to school😆 Ironically, if my sisters or I didn’t want to go to school, we didn’t have to - Mum was a teacher and a radical in believing you don’t need school to get an education.

The first words that came into my head about your mom was “bad ass”! In a really good way!

Chuckle, I love it, and she still is “bad ass” at the age of 86!😁

I’ve got one too and she is nearly 90!

Here's to bad-ass old ladies, and to us joining the tribe of bad-ass old ladies one day😁❤️🙏🕊 (or maybe we're already there, depending on the perspective of age - when Mum was 60 she said to her 80-year-old mother, "I feel so old", Nan's reply, "You're still a spring chicken."😂)

I have another friend on Substack who is also referencing Beth Kempton’s work as her North Star. 🌟 Thank you for this lovely piece, Camilla—I loved seeing you as a young girl, racing over the water!

Hi Hannah, thanks so much for reading and letting me know you enjoyed the content. And yeah, I love that idea too - Blu said this is from a book called The Gene Keys - I’ve downloaded a sample, but have not yet read it.💖🙏🏼🕊

Wow, Kokoro sounds like an amazing book! I can't wait to read it! This idea of us humans being the channels for bringing forth what wants to be created keeps coming up in my awareness all over the place. And then to connect that idea with the Gem feels really like the meat of it all. That we can bring forth what wants to be created each in our own treasure-ful way. I know I said this before, but I LOVE your Gem! I'm so thankful to substack for introducing me to you! 💕🤗💕

And I love your Gem of LEARNING and being a great student - which all of your readers benefit from too!

Yes, maybe like you say, that's what we're being called to do: to identify our Gem archetype and to co-create with the Universe to manifest what wants to be expressed through us, into our material realm.

And a world of LOVE bouncing back through the Substack airwaves to you too Jenna. I'm also so grateful we get to have fun together through writing and reading on Substack 💕🤗💕

Camilla, there is so much here... I love, “We are entering a time of transition, when our very existence depends on a shift from material growth to spiritual growth.” I couldn't agree more! My whole life is focused on this. I also see the patriarchal influence here. As I drop deeper into my body, into the feminine intuition, the oracular wisdom, the cyclic movements of woman, I see how much we have been programmed away from this innate connective communication with nature, life and each other. It is the missing piece right now.

And I loved your school girl piece, was right there with you. Also thanks so much for the mention!

Thanks so much for reading and commenting Julie, as always🥰! And YES, exactly, to this: "As I drop deeper into my body, into the feminine intuition, the oracular wisdom, the cyclic movements of woman, I see how much we have been programmed away from this innate connective communication with nature, life and each other. It is the missing piece right now."

And thanks for your kind words about my words having fun with Sunlight on my commute to school😁✨🌟💖🙏🕊️
