Charlotte sharing your mom's words with your viewers was special. The idea that you write to parents is wonderful and a great idea. I lost my son last year (2021) and this may help with my emotions. I may give it a try. Thank you for being so positive.
My condolences to you & yours.
My condolences. I love my son even though he’s a teenager and drives me nuts! He’s my only child.
So sweet and thoughtful of Nate to get a fireproof safe for your mother's journal.
Charlotte, this was the most beautiful video. I, like many others, cried with you when you read what your mom had written to you and for you. There's nothing like a mothers love. I imagine our moms together, having coffee each morning, smiling down on each of us as we're in our own homes journaling with coffee. You are such a special soul and bright light in this world. Really. You're a true gift. Never stop sharing-the world needs your sunshine. Loved this video so much.
I actually still have my journal from when I entered into my 20s. Im glad I kept them because there was a particular person I really wanted to be with and reading those entries made me thank my lucky stars that I never actually went with him. I met someone who treated me so much better and showed me what I was actually worth.
That was a beautiful video and thank you for sharing. Fifteen years ago my mom died suddenly and prematurely. It took about 7 years for me to be able to even talk about her. I would have given anything in this world for one more moment with her. I would have journaled if I knew about it back then. It probably would have helped so much-I still love the idea of writing a journal to her. I also wish I would have wrote a journal for my daughter when she was born. Thank you for pointing out its not too late! No pain we go through is ever wasted. In my religion as a Christian we believe we will see our loved ones again in Heaven. Thank you.
Thank you for being so vulnerable with us! I cried when you read your mom’s journal 💞 I absolutely love your videos and appreciate your positivity. Sending so much love to you and your sweet family 💕
Oh my goodness! I cried right along with you. What a wonderful gift your mom left you. I’m in my 70’s and there is so much I wish I’d done and so many things I wished I’d kept. But I realized while watching this that it’s never too late to start writing my thoughts down.
I think that I would take that journal with me everywhere. Like another way to have her with me in a tactile way. A hug when I’m sad or apprehensive. I can see why it’s a prized possession. How wonderful
I bought the Cinderella journal on my last trip to Disney. I use it to rewrite my favorite recipes. This way I can pass it down to my granddaughter.
sending you so much love❤I teared up when you read your mom's journal 💕 Always so grateful for your vulnerability and your strength in sharing these beautiful real facets of your life-you are so loved on youtube by all of us viewers! thank you for sharing 😊
I love that you have your mom’s journal. It’s like hearing from her from beyond. My mom died when I was 13 and a few of her friends sent me letters mom had written them, about me and what she thought about her upcoming death and leaving me. It’s very hard to digest!
😔 💐 That’s sweet of her friends. I hope it helped you some.
Charlotte, thank you for sharing your special journals, especially the one from your Mom and the ones you write to your parents. 💕I started a journal for both of my girls when they were very young with letters to them, when they were younger just daily life stuff a few times a year and then it became more Christmas and birthdays and highlights of their year and telling them how much I love them. It has been fun to look at simple childhood stories I may have forgotten. I plan to give it to them on their wedding days.
I lost my Mom in May and I started the same journal writing to her because I didn’t get to say a final goodbye, it helps so much. So many things I think I want to tell her each day as we talked every day at least once and putting it in the journal has helped so much. We lost our dog of 16 years in May as well and I even started a little one for him just jotting down all of the sweet memories.
Keep shining your light in the world Charlotte, it is very bright!🥰
Oh Charlotte, I just lost my mum and I’m really struggling with the grief. I have started journaling and it really helps me. Your mums journal is so so special xx
Okay this video alone is an incredible start to the day. I suddenly feel so much more positive and ready to take on the day. You’re a star ⭐️
I have saved my journals thinking I may some day need to reread them for the lessons learned but never do. Some how this video gave me the permission needed to toss them. What got me journaling was hearing a lady on the radio who knew her husband was reading hers, she journaled as a way to communicate to him the hard stuff. I thought what a brilliant idea because I can chose my words carefully. Just live your videos!
I've never been super into the idea of journalling, but this has definitely piqued my interest! What a beautiful gift that your mother left for you!
Omgsh, Charlotte, your amazing😍I live in Melbourne Australia and last September in lockdown my dear 90 years old Dad went into hospital, and we couldn’t visit him, it broke my heart not seeing him ( I can’t see through my tears) and he past away in hospital, I miss him every day and it still feels unfinished because of the way it happened, I wanted to be with him when he passed😢 so I’m going out tomorrow to buy a perfect diary and tell him how sorry I am I wasn’t their😭Thank you so much for such great idea 🥰
This was so inspiring. I used to journal in high school everyday and loved it. I’d love to start that habit again. I worked at staples during university and a lady in her 90s used to come in every 6 months and buy a journal. She told me she had started when she was in her teens. She always wrote the weather and date and then chronicled her day. I always thought that was amazing.
You should photocopy the pages of your moms journal and save them electronically in case anything ever happens. Those words brought me to ugly cry tears. Sooooo sweet!
I lost my mom as well and love how much she wrote, she and my dad wrote letters while they were dating and she also kept a detailed baby book and baby calendar. They are prized possessions and help guide me so much. I love the idea of writing a journal to her and I think I will be sure to start that practice too. 💝
Perfect perfect perfect, boy did you just hit the nail on the head. That’s exactly what a journal is- your very best friend. Will never share your thoughts or judge you. Been doing since a teen & i‘m 78. And I thought was just me, I also do NOT GO BACK N READ. But I have kept them. Don’t know y?
I do also put things in my cell.
When something jumps into my head or I hear a statement that is beneficial, poignant, beautiful or inspiring I will journal in my notes set just for that reason. I also use that for when I want so badly to fuss with something or someone to get a sense of what I’m really feeling. Most of the time it is calming. First words when I open it is. SILENCE. BREATH. andsoitis

I watched this video today an found it unbelievably touching hearing about your mom’s journal.
Many times as a young mom I thought of keeping track of my sons life as a baby. Problem is that’s all I did is think procrastinating didn’t get it written.
I would advise anyone to write about your children or grandchildren the moment
you think you should.
Don’t put it off.
Or write about the people who
mean the most to you.
what a wonderful gift
Later after you’re gone. Tell them good memories not bad.
By the way, today is
Wednesday
July 26, 2023 exactly
1 year after you filmed this video. What’s up with that?
Thanks for sharing your passion for journaling.
🦋
I’ve kept a journal since I was 7 years old and still have them to this day! It’s been the best practice throughout my life and has allowed me to learn so much about myself.
I loved your suggestions about writing to your parents. I know when the day comes for me, that will be something that will help me.
Thank you for these wonderful videos and spreading the journaling word!
Loved hearing your story about your mom’s journal. What a gift. I hope my future children will enjoy them someday 🥰
🥰🥰so special that you have those words from your mom..
These journalling videos are amazing! Thank you for sharing all of your tips!
These two journaling videos are gold. I love your mom's journal for you and the journals you use to write to them. Something that was seemingly meant for me to hear was you admitting that your old entries were cringy and that you recycle your journals when they become full. Both of those things stopped my journaling years ago. I thought I wasn't supposed to write in a journal every day and then throw it away. But that was what I wanted to do. I liked using a journal to get my thoughts out of my head but they were never meant for anyone else to see. Since watching part one, I've resumed my old journaling habit and after hearing you say it's okay not to keep them, I feel free about writing whatever I need to or want to. Thanks so much, Charlotte.
Hello from India 🇮🇳. I love journaling specially as I'm alone lost my parents. Thts y i become emotional while watching ur blogs as i can connect. Thank you dear.
I absolutely LOVED this video. Your journal from mom is something I tried hard to do as my kid was small. And just couldn’t. I also tried creating an email and didn’t follow thru. And hearing your moms words has just helped me realize the magnitude of how special it will be. Or at least I hope it will be. Thank u so much for sharing and god bless that was so moving 🥹💓
Think I will start a journal to my Mum, thank you x😍
Charlotte, I love this video, it is so encouraging. Thank you for sharing about the journals you have, for your parents, this is a beautiful idea, and something that I think will help me also, as both of my parents passed away (a day apart), not very long ago.
Thank you for sharing your heart ❤️
Thank you for sharing such intimate insight to your journaling process. I have found it was such a space to ease loneliness.
Thank you for another great video. I just bought the 5 year journal and starting it tonight. I lost my mom a year ago and I love your idea of journaling to your parents. What a beautiful way to heal. I have some of my parents hand written notes to me and also to each other framed so I can se them all the time. Very comforting.
Loved the idea of writing letters to loved ones, that cannot be sent out. Thank you for sharing ❤
Charlotte, you are such a beautiful soul. Thank you for being so open and I just want you to know you make a real difference in people’s lives.
I just want to say I love love your videos I’ve been binge watching them since I found your sweet channel! And I’ve been inpatiently waiting for a new video girl 💕
This is one of the best videos you’ve ever done. And I had all the feels at the end 💗 TFS Charlotte 💫
My mom passed away a few years ago and I LOVE the concept of the journal for your parents. I may try that myself. I haven't even began to fully grieve and process yet. Maybe this can help.
love this! I don't journal first thing in the morning but I do it whenever I can squeeze it in even just a few sentences
Thank you Charlotte for all the tips.
I appreciate you being honest with us. Not many can do that in front of so many people 💗
Just finnished the last video so happy to see part 2 is already out 😁
Love this so much!!
Thank you so, so much for this. It was absolutely beautiful ♥️
This is truly what I needed to experience and get my mind on a calming end. Life has been very stressful lately, and your video really brought me a lot of positive thoughts on how I can change my routines and inspiration on how to approach it. Thanks a lot for creating this and sharing it with all of us. So much to learn and make something special out of the life that had been given. Thank you again and wishing you the best in your journey.
Thank you for all the journaling tips. Very inspiring. 🌺
I also love the positivity and gratitude you always express in your videos. 🤗🌸
Thank you for sharing all of your tips! I love your journaling ideas! 😊
Loved these videos. They were very interesting and helpful x
If I am feeling really frustrated with someone for example my father and my relationship I will write in my journal like I’m writing them a letter. Dear dad and I will say all the things that are frustrating me and I’ve always wanted to say. At the end I feel so relieved and so much better and I never give it to them so they’re not hurt or have feelings about it but I feel that extreme relief for getting it all out.
wow both your journal posts, such great videos! thanks for making and sharing 🙏
Charlotte, you gave me goosebumps and😭. I just love your video’s. You are true inspiration.
What an amazing journal to have from your Mom!!
Oh my....when you shared your mother's journal entry about Haleys comet, I cried along with you!! It is awesome that you have her journal now. I am so glad you know just how much she loved you. She is with you always!!
I love this journaling videos! Thanks for sharing all this tips with us 💕🥰
Thank you for sharing Charlotte - all of your journaling wisdom and the most beautiful words from a mother to her daughter. So special. And I love the idea of writing in a journal letter and thoughts to those who we have loved and lost. Fabulous video
Thank you so much for sharing Charlotte, this really touched me. I am pregnant with my first child now and she will be here earlier than we had hoped. It has been a somewhat stressful time, but watching your journaling videos reminded me that through all that is going on, I really want to make keeping a journal as a new mother for my daughter to have to look at later in life, a top priority. I Love watching your videos about the little sweet things you do for you and your family, and I hope to take some of those small things and share them with my family as well. ( also I’m commenting from my husband’s account right now 😆)
Are going to start your videos back every week 🤞🏻🤞🏻🙏🏻 I love your videos ❤️❤️
Charlotte, your love for journaling makes me want to journal more! Your mom's journal to you is so touching. I'm pregnant with my first child and am inspired to start journaling what life is like with him!
Thanks Charlotte for sharing and all the advices about journaling🤗🥰💖you are so awesome🎉🌹🎉🌹🎉🌹
And that journal from your mom was very touching
Very inspiring…thank you!
Think I'd rather sleep later than write 🤣😂🤣😂❤❤❤but I still watch your channel
This was a wonderful video! Thank you so much! 🥰

I love this video! I’m all in tears when you brought out your mom’s journal. I’m an emotional person. Blame my water sign. ♏️ 😆 You shared so much wonderful tips and I’m going to start this, even with the candle. Thank you so much!
I brought myself the book you had in the basket in your first video (simple Abundance a day book of comfort and joy)
Came yesterday 27th July. Witch happened to be my birthday.
And found it very interesting
I have been journaling since I was in the 6th grade, not as much in the last 3 years since mommy past away more like a few words of what I did that day but I have them all still and I’m almost 47!
Sending you a virtual hug for the feelings you expressed 💐💜💜💜 thank you for sharing with all of us, I love your methods and thoughts behind the actions, best regards as always 🥀 Miss. Lilly 🥀
I absolutely loved this video, my fellow journal 📓 folk. 😍 I always sign my entry “SWAK”- Sealed With A Kiss 💋
The brain dump journal is a great idea for travel. At the end of the day on a trip I’m usually so tired I just want to zone out and watch bad hotel tv ina language I don’t understand...maybe this is a good option!
Hi Charlotte, thanks for all of the information & inspiration. I think I will start writing letters to my parents. There is so much I always want to tell them but they’re not here for me to do that. I was wondering how you recycle your old journals.
What I like to do is at the end of that year I write down everything that’s important to me into one sheet. Also, per kid. So I’ll do a sheet per child with what’s only to do with them. My planners are more less for appointments and writing something funny about the kids.
Thank you for sharing, beautiful....btw water works on this end
This was so interesting! I've journaled off and on for years but there's always so many new ideas. Thanks for sharing yours. Where did you grow up? You don't seem like a Cali girl!
I got emotional on your behalf. 😭😭😭
My journals are letters to my mom who passed in 1985
Which coffee pot do u use that has a timer? 😍
I have tried a journal manifestation and i felt like i was writing about things that do not exist on my life, and it made me feel like i was “playing” putting words and things i wanted as if i had them but it was not the reality.
Should i just stick to writing my thought and stick to the reality?
What kind of pen do you use
Miss your Disneyland videos ☹️
