When I was little, I played by myself a lot. I also played with neighbor kids. My cousins, too, when I was lucky. Our cats and dogs. Shrubbery. Trees... Birch in particular. My stuffed animals, dolls, and action figures. As a child, I deeply valued free creative playtime. The places I most fondly remember playing … Continue reading playtime… but make it a podcast
arts and crafts time…
At the beginning of the first wave of the global pandemic, we remain currently ensconced in, I was doing some cleaning out of my closet. And I found, at that time, what I could probably have found at any time over the last 25 years. T-shirts. Lots and lots of t-shirts. Conference t-shirts, startup t-shirts, … Continue reading arts and crafts time…
I don’t want to…
Photo by Benjamin Suter I woke up slowly this morning. Peacefully. It was dark and gloomy outside but our sunrise alarm was shining its bright light on my side of the bed. It wasn't the first time I woke up today. I remember waking up briefly in the middle of the night to witness my … Continue reading I don’t want to…
consumer cami goes holiday shopping… but you know, online.
It's the holiday season and as of today I believe I have completed all of my holiday shopping. Yes. All of it. I have gifts for everyone on my list. I have a tree. Okay, I have two trees.

no more beast mode…
Photo by Antony Trivet A week ago today I started taking the synthetic hormone levothyroxine to treat my newly diagnosed, but not newly existing, hypothyroidism. At first, the medication was truly magical. A transformational experience. For those not in the know, when you take this kind of synthetic hormone to help boost your thyroid function, … Continue reading no more beast mode…

Monday I was back at the doctor's office. More tests. More talking. More trying to figure out what exactly it is that is going on with me. I've aged into some health problems. Or probably more accurately I've aged into being aware of some health problems that have been problematic for years but I just … Continue reading making a medical case for ground unicorn horn…
beginnings and the endings that bring them about…
I did a thing today on one of the social things. Granted it's the social thing I never really think of as being social. LinkedIn. I went to my profile and surveyed the content. And then I started editing. I selected the most recent role — Community Manager at Automattic — and I ticked the … Continue reading beginnings and the endings that bring them about…
consumer whore cami assuages her guilt…
I like to shop local. I have a huge preference for shopping local. Super duper ultra local when I can. Like... If I can walk to the shop and it's locally owned that's where I want to spend my hard earned money. But we don't always get what we want. At least I don't. If … Continue reading consumer whore cami assuages her guilt…
trying new things…
When you're young it's easy to make new discoveries and try new things. Everything is new. As a kid just waking up each day and hopping out of bed can yield new unexpected discoveries. But as we get older and our experience in the world starts to add up and make us, well us, it … Continue reading trying new things…
the last day…
I'm not always good at writing about the good days. I tend to hate the internet trend of posting when everything is perfect and beautiful and you're a pretty pretty princess who is blessed with the grace of all things beautiful. I want people to share their joy. I just don't like it when that's … Continue reading the last day…
