🌸Mom's Journals, entry #1





My dad recently found two journals that belonged to my mother and gifted them to me—what a treasure! 

She often wrote positive messages and quotes on index cards and placed them strategically throughout the house. I never knew, until today, that she also kept journals filled with these quotes and messages.

I've decided to share the wonderful and inspiring entries from her journals with you. I hope you enjoy reading them and that they bring you inspiration or teach you something new. I'll be posting one page at a time, so I hope you'll keep checking back for more.

Wishing you Love, Light & Sparkles,

🌸Carrie

    Thank you, Melissa! My mom was deeply curious, and that curiosity drove her to seek not just knowledge, but truth and genuine wisdom.

   🌸 Reflections from Mom’s Journals — Entry #19 🌸 Abundance flows when we love what we are doing. 🌸  Examine what I believe to be impossible… then change my beliefs. 🌸  Let my loving soul guide my behavior.  🌸  Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.  —Mark Twain 🌸  If your not doing what you love, you are wasting your time.
