It is going to be a throw back month as I am on vacation.  So this is the first of 4 episodes that I am rereleasing.  Recorded back in July of 2020 and released in Aug.  Episode 20 is all about helping to understand the benefits of gratitude.  I will included the episode description from that episode and am calling this episode 20.2 throwback to gratitude.

This is the episode description from the episode 20 description (I used to write my descriptions in 3rd person ) : 
“Gratitude is a Spirit-filled principle. It opens our minds to a universe permeated with the richness of a living God.”  Camille has been feeling in the blahs lately with all of the things going on with COVID-19.  A favorite book she read reminded her of a way to get out of the blahs: showing and practicing gratitude.  During her research she finds that there are a ton of benefits to our mind and our body as we learn to appreciate our life and overcome our negative bias. Camille tells of different ways to start a gratitude practice, such as gratitude journals and gratitude jars. She also found some fun games you can play as a family to help them see the good things in their life.  Hopefully this episode will help many of you as we learn to live with all the “new normals” of life during COVID-19 or anything else life may throw your way.

 “When we take time to notice the things that go right – it means we’re getting a lot of little rewards throughout the day” - Martin Seligman.  In this episode I share two thoughts - one about growth and the other about gratitude.  Talking about growth, I share the experience that I had last week with really sore muscles due to a HIIT workout.  And how that soreness actually is helping my muscles become stronger but it hurts for a few days.  And how that can also be a metaphor for growth in all aspects of our life.  I also share my gratitude for my gratitude practice each morning and how that has given me more energy,  improves my mood, and helps me reflect back on my day or week.

 “PFC every 3”  In this episode I am sharing a little bit about the things I have learned from my efforts to balance my blood sugar this year.  I begin by talking a little about the things I have learned and also this problem that a majority of women have some sort of disordered eating.  That we need to understand the simple principle of balancing our blood sugar.  I also share what I eat on a typical day. I explain how I am learning to appreciate how my body functions more than how it looks. I will link to all the info of programs and books on my website under this episode.

“Why not this summer?”  So I have a bit of extra time now this summer since my son left on his mission.  This episode is going to explore the idea of making a desire, even a little one, work to become a reality.  I share my desire to love the clothes in my wardrobe and to become better at shopping and knowing what I need to make it all work for me.  Even if that is not your desire you can still use the same technique to work on your own desires and make them work for you.  And why not make something happen this summer.

“Strength or force gained by motion or by a series of events.”  He made it.  In this episode I share about the last day before sending my son off to the MTC.  We had a crazy day of trying to get stuff done for his visa application as well as getting him all packed.  And spoiler alert - I am not that sad.  So today I share another story as me and my family get through another crazy day and send off our Elder Johnson.  Then I talk about momentum and how I am hoping to keep getting things done but at a slower pace.

"Remember: What dad really wants is a nap."  Well I made it through the crazy week and am back for episode 143.  Totally nothing life shattering just sharing a bit about my crazy week with all of my kids in town and getting to do all the celebrating and farewell things for my son who is starting as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  Then I end with a bit of remembrance of our Dads and some quotes that I found that I liked honoring them.

 “I was willing to work despite my fears.”  It is time for me to reflect a bit on the things I learned from being a substitute teacher.  It was quite a challenging 3 months but there were so many things I gained from this experience that I share.  A few examples are understanding the age group I prefer to work with, becoming more brave when taking assignments and I especially loved seeing how the Lord would help direct my day.

“Sharpening the saw means preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have - you!”  Two thoughts I share today - one to remind you to sharpen the saw, even when things are super busy.  I share how we can be even more effective when we take some time to rejuvenate our body, minds and spirit.  Then I also talk about creating energetic, optimistic and enthusiastic thoughts ( a nod to thoughts from The Confident Mind by Dr. Nate Zinsser) with a little help from your environment.  Maybe having a space you love on the outside helps you have more energy on the inside.

Have you ever read the children’s book, “If you give a mouse a cookie’ by Laura Numeroff?  That is what my life feels like lately, and I am the mouse.  This episode I share a few of the unfinished projects littering my house.  With things like a bed breaking right before Christmas break, a bathroom project almost there and then our washer stops working, it all leads to this trail of piles and mess around my house.  Sadly I don’t have the little boy following me around as I go from project to project.  So give me, the mom, a paint brush and you can see what happens around my house the past few months.

“Trying to live in the present and take in the moment.”  It is a month full of proud mama moments as my son who is a senior in high school prepares to graduate.  I share a few things I am so proud of and also grateful for the things that I learned because of my son in my life.  I also tell you about my feelings of anxiety and overwhelm about all the things that need to get done before my son leaves on his mission.  I talk about some of the tools I am trying to remember to use to help me feel more empowered and excited to do all of the things this month.  And I finish off saying how now that I am working a little more, how impressed I am with all of you mamas out there who work full time and then take care of all the things at home as well. Really I am proud of any mother who just keeps moving along and doing her best!  Have a great mother’s day!
