      Get yourself a job - Camille Hammerich

      From my heart a big thank you to my wonderful father. Without you, no me and no book. You are my best friend – I love you.

      Thank you to everybody who has supported me throughout life and who have made it possible for me to write this book.

      I love you.

      Per Hammerich:

      My daughter is a real charmer, wildly energetic with lots of fine ideas in her head…

      Camille is a dream of a daughter. When you have put a child into this world, you wish for them to live life to its fullest. Camille enjoys life and is one of the most positive people I have ever met. It is obvious that she should write a book about passion and enjoying life. I hope that she will communicate her positive view on life, her experience and love of being human in a way that will benefit many.

      I haven’t tried that before –

      So I can surely do it.

      Get yourself a job!

      I have been trying to understand myself and the world almost my entire life. From my childhood days to my career; within the areas of having children, partners, love, body and spirit. I have been coaching myself with curious and searching eyes and have achieved an existence where peace, balance, and self-love are the ruling parameters. I am often told that I seem to be calm and at peace with myself. My answer is always the same; it is because I choose that it should be so.

      My dad was the first to tell me to write a book. I thought, okay, but about what? Suddenly one day I knew:

      It has to be a book about how I have become the one I am today - how my upbringing has influenced me, how I always followed my gut instincts, how I always managed to avoid physical and mental burn-outs, and how I pursue my passion.

      I live the way I want to live. I do so, because it is I who determine my day, my week, and my life.

      If my book can help just one person to pursue his or her desires, then I have created something valuable. The value for me is that I managed to open a door to a happier place. I have done that in my life, and I know you can do it in yours. The recipe is to listen to your inner compass – the body. If we follow the compass, new doors open right in front of us.

      In my eyes, life is a long process. There are times where we go through small processes, and there are times where we go through big processes. There are also times where we go with the flow, but that too is a process; when you go with the flow, you follow the current, and currents sometimes change direction.

      I have been through small and big processes in my life, but I have also had times where I allowed myself to be carried by the current.

      I don’t think we ever finish evolving; we cannot stop to evolve in good and (unfortunately) less good ways. Therefore, each of us must take responsibility for the way we evolve. We cannot avoid processes either – they come whether we like it or not.

      The book that you are reading right now is about my big and small processes in life (including everything else). Today, I live a happy life, and my processes have shown me the way to balance and inner peace. I did not come to where I am today without struggle and hardship, but I faced the challenges and made decisions that were right for me.

      I engulf myself in tools and methods; ways that give me the strength to see the cracks (and do something about them), before I get too overwhelmed.

      I love life and I want to live it well. This is a responsibility that I take upon myself every day – and I would love to show you how you can achieve the same feeling of freedom and happiness. I would love to show you how to open a door that you have not dared to open before – a door into a room where you decide the view.

      Get a job, mom, my son said one evening. He was dissatisfied with my failing finances, and that we couldn’t afford luxury items. It was the undercurrent from what we hear on our first day of school: Welcome. Study hard, learn a lot, so that you can have a job, make money, pay taxes, and save up for pension.

      I understand that we need jobs. However, for me it is obvious that I do not want just any job. Life has taught me that I feel well when I follow my heart - also with regards to jobs. It is important to be happy about one’s job. We spend so many of our vital hours on the job that it hurts if we do not like it. My dad always said, and still says: Rather a happy sanitation worker, than an unhappy CEO. My mom said: Mille, you will spend many hours at your job - you better find one you like.

      We cannot avoid the fact that we have to work. A job from 8-16 works well for many people, but it was not the solution for me. Every time I heard the phrase get yourself a job, it gave me an uneasy feeling – a feeling that I had to do something I disliked. Later in the book, you will read how I feel that I would have fallen ill if I had not listened to myself.

      There is only one person in my life that does not use that phrase. It is someone who almost knows me better than I know myself. He has believed in me more than I did myself at times, and he has not been in my life for very long. I have paid a high price to find this person, but I am grateful that I have. For the first time in my life, I am being seen, understood, and loved unconditionally.

      We strive to achieve this type of love and vulnerability with another person – just like when we were loved unconditionally in our parents’ arms. It is possible to find this love; that is also just one of our processes. This book will be about such a process.

      My parents on their wedding day in 1970

      I was born in the middle of April 1971. My mother was young and ignorant and hardly knew how babies were born. She had fallen in love with the most handsome guy in town, who had the voice of a singer and charisma as Elvis (despite her being a Beatles fan). The handsome guy is my father, and he still attracts attention from his surroundings.

      My mother was beautiful – a true copy of Audrey Hepburn, who was her big idol. Small, dark, and slim. She loved to be pregnant and feel that she could fill out her dresses.

      This day in April (as my father worked), I was born. A rather big baby for the day and age; a girl with lots of energy, almost from the start.

      In Denmark today, most people take 6-12 months maternity leave, but in the 70’ties, maternity leave was just a couple of weeks. When a nanny was hired, my mother was supposed to go back to work as a school secretary. She cried the whole way to school, in school and back again. She refused to hand me to the nanny the next day. My father loved her and understood and took more work on his shoulders. Unconditional love and a burning desire to spend time with the child she had just given birth to, made my mother stay at home.

      Me as a baby – in 1972

      She listened to herself and her feelings. She could not work now that the world had given her the role as a mother. She did not miss her work and stayed home with a feeling of great love and a desire to be close and present with her child and husband.

      My parents had a lovely small house of 45 m2 in the village of Karlslunde. We lived there for a few years with a big German Shephard, called Bubbi, which by the way followed me each time I ran away from home. Further down the street was a small shop, and the owner had one time given me a lollipop. That was all it took for me to come back continuously. There was a small hole in the hegdes around our yard, and off I went. The owner immediately called my mother, who came and picked up me, my lollipop and my dog.

      My dad, an entrepreneur, worked a lot and loved every minute of it. He is old school, meaning that he believed that a man should provide well for his family. He comes from a family of entrepreneurs. Born and raised in Ballerup Gardening Nursery, where he had to help and was supposed to continue the family business.

      Unfortunately, it didn’t happen in this way.

      His beloved father died early, and his mother carried on the family business on her own. This led to a bankruptcy. Her stubbornness prevented my father and his brother to come in and take charge. It must have been a hard blow to both. Throughout their upbringing, they had been told that it was their duty to continue the nursery. Often, they had to stay home from going out with friends and instead help in the family business.

      My start in life was thus with two people who did what was right for them. My father pursued his dreams, and my mother chose to stay at home with her child, paying attention to herself and her emotions.

      That was my core and it makes sense to me today. It gives me an understanding of who I am, where I am, and why I always feel conflicted when people tell me, get yourself a job.
