I cannot believe that I’m about to say this, but…

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

  37. 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.

  38. 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. God bless you and all the best!

  40. That’s wonderful! What a thoughtful gift for your friend to give you. I’m so glad that was how the journal entries you shared came to be. I think your book’s title is perfect! 🙂 Congrats, again!!!

  41. 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 🙂

  49. 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!!!

  50. 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…
