This is a great exercise - think I'll do myself. Thanks for sharing.
I admire your openness.
You are: beautiful, Caroline.
I loved Kelly's answers and then came here and now love your answers too. Yes, I think I will join in and hope clarity finds me as well.
It sounds like a wonderful writing experience. I hear fear and fearless, and I thank you for this.
Beautiful photo and great meme...is that what they are called?
Fabulous and thought-provoking. Thanks for sharing!
I love your honesty Caroline and I would write one of these on my own but you pretty much covered what I would say (but maybe I'll give it go anyway). You are beautiful, inside and out.

I'm thankful for: People like You. xoxo
You've really opened your bright heart to us today...
Lovely
Thank YOU!

I feel a lot like you today. I'll tell you what I tell myself - keep your chin up, it will all get better eventually, and there are moments of happiness everywhere every day. It's hard to feel them when you are feeling low, so keep an eye open for them.
Good post. Fear and hope seem to be the themes of your responses. Hopefully in time only one of these will remain.
those do make one think...for sure.
i hope you find more assurance to be the you that you want to be.

I feel similar to what you're going through. I am always going through this weird cycle. And sometimes (like today) I don't know why I bother.
oh my, a powerful list today... so honest and just so you... i love it...
you amaze me each time i visit.. and this selfie...FANTASTIC....
you are BRILLIANT.... xxo, kim
Love this honesty & fear and love that picture. I'm in, but with a less luscious photo.

Dear Caroline,
Hugs and more hugs!
Good for you for being brave, for being honest, for expressing where you are at that moment of your journey.
The process of growth has lots of conflicting emotions with it.
Changing brings gradual peace, but it isn't as easy as it looks. Have heart, with repeated choice, life gets sweeter more and more. It just takes time, and we have so little patience sometimes... If only inner peace was like instant coffee - one spoonful to pour and there it was - hot energy-filled goodness :)
Really honest and brave of you to write this. I found 'Tapping' helps release stuff :) And once again your photography is superb and really compliments all that you write :)
Great exercise Caroline..and great photograph to accompany it!
I think with my heart too. It's when I stop and think with my head that I run into difficulty xo
I love this exercise Caroline..must be refreshing to do.
and in this photo you have great cleavage, so all is good :)
I'm just sayin....
....oh, and love the list !
I love that you did this. All of your answers are wonderful. I love the one about remembering your childhood dreams. They are still there waiting for you. I want to be something too...
I found you through emma tree. I love this. I just did my own list and it was wonderfully satisfying!
I am so glad you don't always do what you are told. Wouldn't we be boring if we did?
I found you after reading Getting There. Boy, could we talk...I too have so much time on my hands and want to be more productive. We discuss it all the time in one of my blogs. Now I must follow you, because your words touched me...
so very lovely . . . words are so beautiful . . .thank you for opening your heart and soul.
