I have a confession: one that I’m really not proud of. But tonight at church, and really for the last couple weeks, I honestly have just felt…nothing. It’s like I’ve been spiritually numb. But tonight was different. I was actually getting angry. I was sitting in the pew, and just inexplicably fuming, being critical ofContinue reading Put the Fire Out
Confession: It’s less than 30 minutes before this post is supposed to go “live,” and I’m still staring at a blank screen. After Monday’s post, I’ve been, underwhelmed to say the least, to sit down and pour my heart out in an emotional and spiritually uplifting post. The response, and rather – the backlash –Continue reading Unfailing Love
My heart is shattered today at the news of the pure evil demonstrated last night in Las Vegas. My prayers and deepest sympathies are with our hurting nation right now, and especially the victims and their loved ones. I’ve been hard pressed to peel myself away from the news to write this post. The levelContinue reading More Than A Gun
I had one of those experiences last night where I could literally feel my heart swell inside of my chest. And not because I ran into my former scene partner from acting school who literally is the doppelgänger of Enrique Eglasias. Hubba hubba. Yeah no. Sorry, completely inappropriate for the topic of tonight’s post. Although…is itContinue reading Finding ‘The Why’
Show of hands: How many of you have ever lost your phone before? Hah – yeahhhh. For those that are blessed enough to not be sheepishly raising their hand right now, let’s just say — it is a nightmare I wouldn’t wish on Regina George. So I lost my phone on Saturday night. And beforeContinue reading Losing my Phone & Finding God
You know what is terrifying? The fact that most high school seniors were born after September 11, 2001. Yep. Seniors in high school. Did not experience 9/11. Many were born after the terror attacks. My mind. Can’t. Comprehend. It’s been 16 years. The slogan has been and always will be: 9/11: Never Forget. Never Forget theContinue reading 16 Years Forogtten
I don’t know about you, but it seems like the level of devastation and destruction is at an all time high here recently. Between Harvey and Irma, mother nature has been giving us a run for our money. And I just want to say, my heart and prayers go out to all those who haveContinue reading Preparation: A Lesson from Hurricane Irma
First off — Just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who bought my book, Bloom: A Journal by BeautyBeyondBones and for your encouragement and support! You guys absolutely rock 🙂 And there are definitely still copies available…wink wink. 🙂 OK, so I just wanted to wrap up my Iceland adventure tonight withContinue reading ICELAND STOLE MY HEART
Hállo from Iceland! I have officially fallen in love… …With the Nordic way of life. I’m currently in the back seat of super nice SUV rental car, listening to the Hamilton soundtrack on blast, driving for five hours in landscape that is what I imagine the surface of the moon looks like. This particular topographyContinue reading Taking Iceland by Storm
What did the moon bring to the beach on August 21? Sunblock hehehe So who saw the eclipse?? In true Caralyn fashion, I….didn’t. I waited until two hours before to realize that I had to have special glasses to safely look at it, and the low key hypochondriac in me freaked out that I for sureContinue reading Retinas Burning — Eclipse 2K17
