🔥 Fan the Flames

Reflections from My Mom’s Journals, post #5

“Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames.” —Rumi

I love this quote!
And I love the little doodles in my mom’s journals, too. She was so creative, so artistic,

and so full of joy. I miss her more than words can ever express. What I wouldn’t give for

just one more day with her—sitting beside me in her physical form, or as she so playfully

called it, her “earth suit.”

✨ A Small Quote with Mighty Meaning

I’m learning how to truly live out the wisdom packed into this small but powerful quote:

“Seek those who fan your flames.”

Why did I spend so much time with people who only wanted to dim my light—much less fan it?

Life is short.
So incredibly precious.
There’s no time to waste on people who don’t support your passion, your purpose,

or your joy.

🔥 There’s no space for “flame-blowers” when you were born to burn bright.

So light that sucker up—and keep it on high!

As I reflect on my mom’s life and her journals, I see how she lived this truth.

She surrounded herself with people who lifted her up, who made her laugh,

who encouraged her creativity. I’m trying to do the same.

Every page of her journal reminds me to keep my flame alive—and to fiercely protect it.

Wishing you Love, Light & Sparkles!

Until next time... Wishing You Love, Light & Sparkles,

💜 Carrie
