🌸 Reflections from My Mom’s Journals, Post #12


Don’t stop having fun when you get old,

you get old when you stop having fun.  

Don’t stop having fun when you get old—because truth be told, you only get old when you stop having fun. Aging alone isn’t what puts the creaks in your knees or the gray in your hair (though yes, I do keep a standing date with my hair color every three weeks, and Botox—well, let’s just say I may have heard a glowing testimonial or two from that miracle man). The real aging starts when you forget how to play. You don’t get old because you’re adding candles to the cake; you get old when you stop dancing like no one’s watching… or worse, when you start caring that someone is watching. Here’s the truth—people who judge are probably just wishing they had the guts to let loose themselves. Their opinion? That’s their baggage, not yours. Life’s far too short to trade in your sparkle for sensible shoes and a “no running” policy. And yes, I love my Mephistos, but mine are black patent leather with gold accents—so they still bring the sass. Keep laughing, keep playing, and keep embarrassing your kids in public—because the second you stop having fun is the second the real wrinkles show up.


 💋✨ Until next time... keep loving & living your best life!💋✨

🌸Wishing you Love, Light & Sparkles!

🌸 Carrie

🌸 Thoughts on Light, Wisdom, and Flying Higher Reflections from My Mom’s Journals , post #6 "Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open?" — Rumi "Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself." — Rumi   "You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?" — Rumi  "Raise your words, not your voice.

🌸Mom's Journals, entry # 19

   🌸 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. ( widely attributed to Billy Joel ) 🌸  Forever is composed of NOWS! —Emily Dickenson 💭 Examine the Impossible  Examine what I believe to be impossible… then change my beliefs. Here’s a little trick I’ve learned: whenever something feels impossible , it’s usually just my brain doing its best dramatic performance, like it is auditioning for a soap opera. You know the type—“ Cue the violins, this project is clearly the end of me! ” But let’s be honest, most “impossible” things are just… big. Too big to swallow whole.

🌸Mom's Journals, entry #1

My dad recently found two journals that belonged to my mother and gifted them to me—what a treasure!  S he 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 “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough…”  - Albert Einstein “ The difference between genius and stupidity is - genius has limits ” “Don’t cry because it’s over - Smile because it happened.” - Dr. Seuss “ Don't waste your time on explanations - people only hear what they want to ” “ T T F N - Ta ta for now ”  - Tigger “The tyrant wi...
