Who has not ever heard of Opposite Day ? Because apparently… I hadn’t. I just learned this week that January 25th is a thing. A real thing. Somewhere on the holiday list—probably right next to Cheese Lovers Day . 🧀 But listen… If it’s a holiday, does that automatically mean cake is involved? Because I feel like yes. 🎂 So— Don’t have a happy Opposite Day. (Which actually means… have a really good one?) I don’t fully understand the rules, but I do understand cake. And joy. And finding reasons to smile on a random January day. So however this works— you get it. 😉✨ 💋✨Until next time, keep loving & living your best life! 💋✨ Wishing you Love, Light & Sparkles! 💎 💋 Carrie carrieannmoore.com

My ANGEL Friends - Book Review from real readers ​​ A Fun, Creative Angel Book Kids Actually Want to Finish This book was reviewed by two real readers — the Scotch brothers ,  and they both genuinely enjoyed it. What stood out most was how fun, creative, and easy to read the book was. They especially liked that the book included short stories instead of long chapters. The stories were quick reads, which made it easy to stay interested and keep turning the pages. “I liked that the stories were short. You don’t get bored.”  “You can read one and then do a page, and it doesn’t feel like homework.”  They also loved the variety throughout the book. With puzzles, games, poems, stories, coloring pages, and drawing prompts , it never felt repetitive. “There’s a lot of different stuff to do.”  “It’s not just coloring. There’s games and puzzles too.”  One of their favorite parts was the drawing prompts, and they shared a smart suggestion for future books. Instead of simpl...

🧀 The Very Serious History of Cheese Lovers Day (A Totally Professional, Definitely Scholarly Investigation) Every January 20th, a sacred and slightly lactose-intolerant miracle occurs. It is known as National Cheese Lovers Day — a day when people across this great land unite under one shared belief: Calories consumed in the form of melted cheese do not count. Now you might be wondering, “Carrie, what is the deep historical origin of this noble holiday?” Excellent question. The honest answer? Nobody has the foggiest idea. The Mysterious Origins of a Cheesy Holiday Unlike Thanksgiving, which has pilgrims and pie, or Valentine’s Day, which has overpriced roses and questionable relationship decisions, Cheese Lovers Day appears to have been created by… …someone sitting on a couch with a block of cheddar and a dream. There is no ancient scroll. No royal proclamation. No statue of a founding father clutching a wheel of brie. One day the internet simply woke up and said: “You know what ...

The Birth of a Rhythm Now, I wasn’t there (at least not in this lifetime), so I can’t tell you the exact moment tap was born, but legend has it that... Tap dance grew up in America’s cultural melting pot. In the 19th century, especially in New York’s Five Points neighborhood , Irish immigrants brought their jigs and clogs while African American communities carried the rhythms of juba and other percussive dances. Together, they created something brand new.  Dance history is full of mysteries like this—kind of like the old ballet debates. People used to argue whether ballet was French or Russian. The truth? (or so they say...) Ballet began in 15th-century Italy, gained its polish (and French vocabulary) under King Louis XIV, and later reached new technical heights thanks to Russian innovation. The takeaway? Art forms rarely belong to just one place—they evolve through shared influence, passion, and reinvention. Tap dance is no different. From Jigs to Juba In the early 1800s, “jigging...

📘 You Can Heal Your Life — A Book You Don’t Just Read, You Revisit by Louise Hay Some books sit politely on your shelf. This one leans over, taps you on the shoulder, and asks how you’re really doing. I’ve read You Can Heal Your Life more times than I can count — dog-eared pages, underlined affirmations, margins full of my own scribbled prayers and questions. And bless it, every single time I come back, I find a new nugget waiting for me like a penny on the sidewalk. This isn’t a book you “finish.” It’s one you grow alongside. What This Book Is About (Plainspoken & True) At its heart, You Can Heal Your Life explores the connection between our thoughts, beliefs, emotional wounds, and physical well-being. Louise Hay gently but firmly invites us to examine the stories we tell ourselves — especially the unkind ones — and consider how they may be shaping our lives. She talks about: Self-love (the real kind, not the Instagram kind) Forgiveness — especially the hard, necessary kind Let...
