Finding the Floor - A thoughtful approach to midlife motherhood and what comes next.
Listen to stories told by Camille Johnson as she reflects on her life raising a family of 5 kids, being happily married for 22 years, and finding the joy and laughter of it all. She has been trying to find the floor to her kids' rooms for a while and gets a peek about once a week. Come listen as she shares her journey of finding her floor both literally and figuratively as she contemplates, life, love, cleaning, pets, books, remodeling, being a taxi driver, finding wholeness, living as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and figuring out what she finally wants to be when she grows up. If this podcasting becomes a thing well maybe this is it. Thanks for listening!

The Importance of Love Stories
“Love is good for you.” Welcome to February and in honor of the month of love, I am sharing a few things that I love this month. This week’s episode I am talking in defense of the love story and confessing how I just really love reading them and happy endings and sharing some of my favorite books. I share my own thoughts but then one of my new favorite author’s notes from two of her books about the importance of love stories being in our lives. We learn to love better by reading about people who learn to love better. I will tell you about 8 books, love stories that I have been loving lately. In defense of the love story, “Let’s immerse ourselves in hope and joy and goodness and read and read and read.” (Katherine Center)
