MY BOOK IS LIVE TODAY!!
Introducing…
Bloom: A Journal by BeautyBeyondBones
Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that the scared, sick, hopeless little girl at inpatient would tell her story one day. But here were are folks. Ten years, one irresponsibly honest blog, and 30,000 followers later. I’m sharing my story.
But this book is not just your normal, cover to cover book. It’s interactive. We’re embarking on the blooming process together: you and me.
And the best way for me to explain, is to just share the preview:
Bloom: A Journal by BeautyBeyondBones takes the reader on a motivating and inspiring journey inside the mind of a young woman trapped in the cycle of anorexia, and through the raw and often painful journey to new life.
Designed as an interactive, three-month daily journal with room to write, Caralyn shares the Scripture verses and quotes that were the most powerful in her own recovery from anorexia.
She weaves in dramatic entries from her own journal kept during inpatient treatment, while offering present day reflections on these daily entries – ten years later as a healthy and thriving young woman.
And she provocatively concludes each day with introspective questions meant to challenge the reader to deeper transformation.
She speaks to the heart of the matter in words that she “wished she would have heard.”
A must-read and useful tool for sufferers and their loved ones alike.
Now is the time to bloom.
When I went away to inpatient, one of my best friends (who I went to Iceland with!) gave me a beautiful journal. She had handwritten, on the top of each page, a quote about friendship.
Little did I know that her gift would change my life. As that journal became the catalyst for my healing.
Picking up a pen and writing was the most healing thing I have ever done. For by putting my thoughts down on paper, I was validating them. For the first time, I was allowing myself to feel, and I gave my emotions a voice.
And I wrote in that journal multiple times every single day. Every fear. Every triumph. Every dream for the future. It became an extension of my soul, and a beacon of who I wanted to be.
And so I wanted to give this gift to others.
But this time, instead of quotes about friendship, I went through and hand selected the Scripture that really spoke to me. The ones that truly changed my perspective, changed my recovery. For I clung to these verses and relied on them for strength and hope and courage. These are the verses that healed me.
This journal is meant for everyone. Yes, it will be the most specifically meaningful for someone struggling with an eating disorder or addiction – or who are in recovery – and their loved ones. But it also offers incredible insight for those navigating the challenges of life too.
It is my deepest prayer that it moves in your heart, and deepens and guides your transformation process, as I hope it does. You all have been so incredibly loving and accepting of me as I’ve “bloomed” – albeit publicly on the internet – that I wanted to give back. You’ve walked with me along my journey, Bloom is a way for me to walk with you and be with you every step of the way along your path, too.
With deepest gratitude and love,
Caralyn

Congratulations! From your previous post, looks like you had a great time in Iceland! And good job finishing your book. It’s easy to start projects, especially writing projects, and never finish. Always wondering and editing. 🙂 Best wishes in the future; will there be a sequel? hahaha.

Congratulations on the release of the book! What an exciting time for you. I’m sure lots of hard work putting it together (maybe even a little blood, sweat and tears too) . . . but it will help so many others through difficult times. So very happy for you Caralyn! Happy to see your perseverance, honesty and kindness rewarded. Please keep us loyal blog readers posted on how it does. I’m sure it will go over great. Can’t wait to read it and try out the journal. By the way, what a great book title, so very appropriate. Congratulations again on your book and the success of the blog. Most important, congratulations on your recovery and good health.

Thanks so much TR! 🙂 I really appreciate it 🙂 Hugs and love xox
Amazing 🙂 What is a miracle? A miracle is just a shift in perception from fear to love. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. You are the visible proof that such an inner transformation is possible. This is the greatest of all miracles. The Risen Christ is the visible icon of our own True Self and healed mind in perfect oneness with the Spirit.

Hopefully, the Spirit will guide you to write more beautiful books. Now you are a writer and spiritual teacher. Those who are healed become the instruments of healing. Deep within the mind is a place where the Kingdom of Heaven is known and we can learn to think, speak and act from that place. You can be a living example of that state of mind. I love you, beautiful Soul 🙂
thank you so much!! This is such a powerful reflection. means a lot. Hugs and love xox

Congrats!!! You are deserving of this success. Learning how to accept yourself and heal your suffering with grace, honesty and courage is spectacular. Showing others the tools that you learned and spelling out how to overcome the behaviors that lead you down the road of uncertainly and too triumph with recovery is very beautiful. It may be hard, scary and frustrating, Yet it’s not impossible. Remember “nothing is impossible the word itself, says I’m possible” Way to go Kiddo!!!
oh my gosh thank you so much! what an incredibly kind thing to say. 🙂 Hugs and love xox
Congratulations on your book. It’s so fabulously wonderful to see someone not only overcome but use their experience to let others know recovery can and does happen. We dont have to remain victims. I see so much of that anymore. And journaling is a great tool I recommend it to most of my clients, very effective. Congratulations again…
thank you so much Tammi! What a kind response. Hugs and love xox

Twitter is how I got the official announcement, of your book. You are what I think of as an upstanding individual, if I do say so myself. You’re more socially responsible, as in you seem quite aware of consequences among people, than a lot of other people. Really, a blog comment such as this doesn’t do justice to you or your values, but I wanted very much to jot on your blog this word of congratulations.
oh that’s so awesome! thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. I am truly touched. Hugs and love xox
Congratulations dear! Cheers to this expansion of your ministry! God bless your heart.
thank you so much Jirah! i really appreciate your kindness. Hugs and love xox
OMG I’m so happy for and proud of you! God has truly given you a gift and I’m so happy that you are sharing this with the world! May God continue to bless you in all that you do. You are Awesome!
Aw thanks John! I appreciate your kind words. God is good! Hugs and love xox

Thanks so much Kenzie !!! 😍😍😍have a great night! Hugs and love xox
I read televangelists are being banned in Iceland. Be careful.
Hahahha you’re funny
Its true. It is kind of funny. The more showy Christians.
On a lighter note a church in Salt Lake collected food for Hurricane Harvey. I’m going to Houston to deliver.
That amazing. You rock
It is a good day. The city of Boise donated a truckload of veterinary supplies. It’s great, kind of offsets the Hell that’s going on down there.
👍
Comic is done. I don’t seem to have the thumbs up emoji. Oh well. 🙃
😎😎😎
🤓👍 found it. kinda.
👍👍👍
Book tour yet? No? Me neither. I’d love to just sit in one spot, and draw. It does nothing for the midsection but, I haven’t dated in a long time. Not missing much. 😂
Hahaha
One more. How do you feel? I know the general sentiment is positive but, more. How do you feel?
I feel great!
That’s cool. I felt worried after publishing. I shrugged it off though and started looking toward my next one. Just. Wondered.
Yeah. Thanks for asking!
Need to get an address so I could buy things. Your book. I had an apartment. Paid 11 months rent. I was home two weeks.
That’s really awesome. Congrats!
Thanks Matt!!! 🙂 Hugs and love xox
I am so excited for you! Congratulations! Would it be available on Amazon?
Aw thanks so much!! I’m not sure about Amazon yet. I’m selling it through blurb initially at a cheaper price. And then perhaps Amazon in six months. Not sure yet. Thanks for stopping by! Hugs and love xox
You’re welcome. I mostly order through Amazon, but I’ll try Blurb and see how that goes.
Awesome! Thanks again 🙂 x
Congratulations, That’s awesome!
Thank you so much! Hugs and love xox
Good job. Very happy for you and for all who will be hopefully helped by your book. May God continue to be with you on your journey. Sending my love and heartfelt congratulations!
Thanks Ilya! That means a lot 🙂 Hugs and love xox
Wow! That must feel incredible, it’s such a big deal – a real achievement! (I bet you can’t put your copy down!). I am certain it will be a big hit – you deserve it for all of the good work you do.
Thanks Rich!! Gosh what a kind thing to say. Haha yeah – i keep it in my purse! Haha have a great day! Hugs and love xox

You are welcome.
✨💛✨
Hey sweetie, congrats on the launch of your book!!!!!! I think it is great you opened up about your struggles and illnesses and are inviting everyone else who has similar issues to do the same with you! I knew a girl back in elementary and middle school days in NJ where I grew up who battled with anorexia, and it hurt to watch because she was beautiful like you are, but had a very poor self-image of herself. I have no idea what ever happened to her, but it is inspiring to know that it is something a person CAN overcome, with Christ! I hope you are able to reach all the people God wants you to with your book!
Is there any way I could email you privately about Patreon? If not that’s cool, but if so then please comment back on my profile (unless you have the option to email me in which case you can feel free to do so)! Thanks.
Thank you so much for this beautiful response. I’m so sorry to hear that your friend had to go through that too. Absolutely – it’s beautybeyondbones@yahoo.com. 🙂 Hugs and love xox
Congratulations! It is an incredible achievement. I look forward to ordering a copy. You are such an inspiration person. Keep strong! X

Welll, LOOK. AT. YOU!!!! My friend has definitely taken her life to the MAX! The light is on 100%, the Tiffany is lamp shining like a multi-colored beacon, and here you are helping more than just one person with your story! The book idea is BRILLIANT in format! Interactive? Great idea! I keep saying this, but – I am so proud of you and happy for you! From a quiet voice in the shadows to a full-throated roar by God’s grace, here you stand in His Power.
Do you recall when I wrote “Beauty and the (ED) Beast?” So you have the book down. Next step is the movie, right? You’ve come this far; who’s to say this is the end of the road? Especially when God is the one building the “highway in the wilderness. making paths smooth!” Well done, you!!
Haha thank you so much Jeff! I ABSOLUTELY remember that! I have that post book marked. You’ve been such a huge friend and supporter, Jeff. You’ve been a constant source of encouragement and for that I am so grateful. God is good. Thank for everything Jeff. Hopeyou and Julie have a positively spectacular weekend 🙂 Hugs and love xox
Your writing is so powerful and meaningful! We have only recently connected as fellow bloggers, but I can’t wait to read your book. You have been following my posts: spoken to me…and I have been following your posts with great joy and interest. Spirit connection, beyond a doubt! This is truly a God thing because I’ve written a book about my journey through stage III breast cancer treatment and it is all taken from my journals and scripture that helped me through my year of treatment. I know I have been drawn to your writing for many reasons. Thank you for putting yourself out there! Congratulations!
Thanks so much Martha. What a beautiful note of encouragement. It absolutely touches my heart. Wow. What an incredible journey you’ve had. Thank you for sharing 🙂 Hugs and love xox
Excellent job!!! I will order as soon as things get back to normal with Hurricane Harvey so I can know that I will get it in the mail!!! Way to go after your dreams!!! Let’s Bloom! Cmon with the cmon.
Thank you so much Benjamin!! You ROCK my friend. Hugs and love xox
Congrats on your book!! ✌️☮️👌🤘😄✨🎉🎈🙌🙏😀
Thanks so much Chrissy! Love the emojis!! 🙂 👍😎😁☀️✨💛
You’re welcome!

Reblogged this on Jeffrey H. King's Blog and commented:
My favorite blogger has published her book, Bloom. I’m excited by this, because, aside from publishing a book which is hard enough, she’s written it in an interactive format. She doesn’t just tell us her story of recovery from anorexia. She models it for us and provides room for us to write in our own progress from WHATEVER struggle we are in. It can be an eating disorder or any fight we feel we are losing! Are you trying to overcome? Are you in the battle alone right now? Well, hang on…the cavalry is coming; it’s Blooming!
And thanks again for the reblog and all the wonderfully kind words, Jeff. Xoxoxo
My pleasure. Also sent you a email just a bit ago to catch you up on a few things I’m getting juiced about.
Perfect. Can’t wait to read it. If you’re getting juiced about it then it’s gotta be good!!!!!!! 🙌🙌😁🙌😁🙌😁🙌🙌
so happy for you! Congratulations!

I have followed the journey of recovery and faith of this young woman for a couple of years and I have reblogged this post (something that I do not often do) to let you know that she has a new book coming out that…well I’ll let Caralyn explain in her post! If you are someone you know is dealing with an eating disorder I encourage you to read her posts and get the book! I am praying that God uses this book to accomplish positive and Christ-centered change in someone’s life!

Caralyn lass, I’m so happy that this has come through! Praise God for His presence that has made your story possible, and a big hug to you for pushing through with Him. I pray this will reach out and touch many people’s lives and that you will be able to share the amazing love of God in increasing measure.
I’ve been off blogs for a while with way too much happening at home and work, but have been reading your posts that I get in email. I hope and pray I can get back to more reading and writing. My close friend whose blog inspired me to start mine is so overwhelmed in the hospital he runs in the badlands of North India, that prolific writer as he is, his posts have been few and far between.too.
You’re very much in our thoughts, and I would love to have your book. However, I don’t use a credit card and Amazon India doesn’t have it listed. I’m not sure if any of my friends are visiting New York. Do you have a suggestion of how I can pay with a simple bank account in India and whether it will be delivered here. Do let me know your thoughts on this. i would really like to buy your book.
Please give our love and regards to your wonderful parents, and much love in Jesus to you.
Indi
Hi Indi! So great to hear from you! Thank you so much for your encouragement and friendship. You and your family have been such a source of kindness and support through my blogging journey. 🙂 thank you. In terms of my book, I’m not sure! 😬 It is only being sold through blurb at the moment, and I believe they only accept credit cards or PayPal. I’m so sorry! I don’t have any physical copies, as they handle the fulfillment of orders, otherwise I’d send you one myself:) thanks for your interest though. Hugs and love xox
Hmm…ok, I’m gong to talk to some friends to see what can be done. There must be a solution. Your book’s unique – I can’t see why it shouldn’t cross the ocean to get here! That book makes it possible to talk to people in my contact here who need help and encouragement with multiple types of problems.
I wonder if you would prayerfully consider approaching publishers like Kingsway and others, who print Christian material and distribute it. That’s why Philip Yancey, Paul Brand, Neil Anderson, and many others have their books out in affordable paperback versions here. If you’re interested in getting your book out here, I can start to talk to people I know for advice. Just let me know. 🙂 Nothing may come of it, but then again, you never know… 🙂
I.
Very interesting ideas here. Thank you. I know blurb ships internationally. But I’ll try and wrap my mind around another way. I would definitely appreciate any ideas or advice you may have! Thanks I 🙂 Hugs and love xox
Ok, so Caralyn, many new ideas are emerging through some talks I’ve been having. However, these are really not for this comment line, or maybe they are – you make a call.
They involve some links I’d like to send you along with the sounding off of some publishing ideas. What are your thoughts on how to share these ideas with you? Would you like these to remain in this comment line, or I think you have a bbb mailing address. Let me know and I’ll be happy to send the links and ideas your way.
I need to check if my bank account allows online overseas payment. If it does, I can open an account on paypal and then move forward towards getting your book, after checking with Blurb if they do ship for sure to India.
Hi Indi! Thank you so much for wrapping your mind around this! Absolutely. BeautyBeyondBones@yahoo.com is the best place to reach me. I’d love to hear your thoughts! Hope you’re having a great night. Hugs and love xox
Congratulations! I love the title, by the way.
thank you so much! i appreciate it! Hugs and love xox

Caralyn is so pretty!!! Amazing cover design!!

[…] Bloom, A Journal by BeautyBeyondBones is a new release. A victorious story by an anorexic who recovered and gives thanks to Jesus for his help and blessings to her. I haven’t read it, but her posts are a delight, so I wanted to send you another good suggestion.

Congratulations! I found writing my book the easy part; although, not all that easy. Publishing has proven to be a hurdle I simply haven’t found the will to jump yet.
aw thank you so much!! yeah publishing is tough for sure!! hugs xox
Congratulations! I am also in the process of writing a book about my life but it’s extremely hard to do for various reasons so, in the meantime, I went ahead and wrote a different kind of book and just released it for publishing — I am excited too because it’s my first book finally after all these years of wanting to write a book. I can’t wait to start the next one.
thank you so much! best of luck on your writing journey! Hugs and love xox

Congratulations! Wow! this is so awesome! I love the idea of turning your journal into a book! Reminds me a bit of Anne Frank. I’m so sorry about what happened to you for those past years.

I’ve been meaning to ask: how do you put emojis in your comments?
I think they just turn into them automatically!
Oh I get it, probably a HTML thing! lol. I wish they would add an emoji box for adding to your comments like they have on Twitter.
Yeah that would be pretty awesome 🙂
Definitely!! 🙂 ..hope that one worked! lol
✨💛✨
🙂 too cute
BBB, I thank you for your kind words, but you know that each day for me is a struggle as it is for you in your own. Just check out the music I recorded on my site. That’s MY composition, and most of the time, I’m a total mess. Sometimes, I can wear just enough masking tape to keep the blood in.
Happy Thanksgiving.
thanks Jim, i look forward to checking out your music. hang in there friend. big hugs x
[…] the first few days after that, I was in a really dark mindset. Like, here I’ve poured out my life to help others, and now I felt like people were slapping scarlet letters on my chest, about […]
Thanks for your book cuz it helps everyday to think of what I can do to help others along with myself. I love what helps especially when I went to church all my life which keeps me in the know even after I fall in different ways. Your blog brings new light to me while I am away when have lower back problems that finally have subsided while getting this health problem gone in over 20 years all natural. That works so well even when I have used certain meds to take pain away that has & is physical & keep stretching & doing sit-ups & twisting some. Right now is working on how to try & find something that will make a gel in my discs at lower back from my spine. Its a long process to naturally get repaired.
Oh my gosh thank you so much for this wonderful note of encouragement! Wow – I am so touched by your kindness. I’ll be praying for your back!! Hope tomorrow is a good day for you! Stay well! Hugs and love xox
