🌸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
