I was born in 1964 in Prince George British Columbia on December 18. My biological father was a nice guy when he was not drinking. My mother and he had a very rocky relationship. She left him when I was 8 years old. About three months after they broke up, she found the love of her life, Al Thun. He had just moved from Vancouver and bought the National hotel.

Samira Palmer isn’t dating anymore. Not after last time. And especially not bad boys. Her career is the only relationship she wants to be in these days, and they’re damn good together.

Growing up in Prince George, BC, our family owned the National Hotel from 1972 to 1998. As soon as I was able to pick up garbage in the parking lot, my dad had me working for my allowance. Throughout the years, I have done everything from the payroll, to carrying the raw sewage pipes out during the renovations in 1984. When I was in school, I would work weekends. During summer break, I would work full-time at the hotel. When I had enough of school, I chose to work full-time at the hotel. These are some of the true stories, and - believe it or not - they were seen with my own eyes too.

The following stories took place from 1978 till 2016. They are all 100 percent true. In 1978 my dad, my mom, my dad’s business partner (Walter), and a new party all bought the First Litre Complex. When they first bought it, it consisted of a pub, grocery store, beauty salon, and laundromat. There also was an apartment below the grocery store that the owner-operator was going to live in. The owner operator eventually moved out beside the complex, into a little house that the partners purchased. We leased the grocery store out to an independent operator.

People are increasingly uncomfortable with stillness, and the incessant engagement with the outer world fractures our connection to our own inner awareness. Cami affirms that living into the power of the pause supports your efforts to stop the relentless pace and intensity of life, breathe your way to inner stability and peace, think about your self-care and growth process, and choose to engage in life aligned with meaning and purpose.

As a child from a religious family, I didn’t like to pray. There are several reasons why I didn’t like to pray, but the top reasons were: I didn’t understand why I needed to pray and didn’t know how to pray. Grown-up prayers can be a little bit too difficult for younger minds. They have too many big words that sometimes make it too hard to understand.
