About Me: Welcome to Care to Be
Hi, I’m Carolyn, the creator behind Care to Be. This space is about exploring the journey of becoming—whatever that looks like. It’s not about having all the answers or achieving perfection; it’s about learning, reflecting, and growing into the person you want to be.
Through Care to Be, I’ll take you along on my personal adventures, challenges, and lessons as I navigate what it means to “be” something—whether it’s a college graduate, a blogger, or even a more flexible, thoughtful person. Think of it like watching a real-life journey, the way people watch Dora the Explorer: curious, determined, and maybe occasionally lost, but always learning along the way.
What Does It Mean to Care to Be?
Care to Be is about embracing the process of becoming with intentionality, care, and curiosity. It’s rooted in the idea that:
• We must “be” before we can “do.”
• We grow into who we are by reflecting on our experiences.
• Caring for yourself and your goals means showing up, even when the path is messy.
This platform is not about arriving—it’s about exploring. Each series will delve into a different journey of “being,” giving you a behind-the-scenes look at my process of learning, failing, and growing.
What to Expect
Here, you’ll find a mix of series that document my attempts to “be” different things:
• Care to Be a Blogger: Watch me navigate what it means to build a blog from scratch—brainstorms, missteps, and “aha” moments included.
• Care to Be Flexible: A six-month journey of learning how to adapt mentally, emotionally, and even physically.
• Care to Be a College Graduate: A decade-long saga of perseverance and reinvention, proving it’s never too late to finish what you start.
Each series is an experiment in curiosity, care, and becoming, and my hope is that it inspires you to reflect on your own journey and take steps toward what you care to be.
Why I Share This Journey
I believe we learn best through shared stories—by watching others navigate their own challenges, reflect on their experiences, and grow through the process. By sharing my themes and journeys, I hope to spark your curiosity and encourage you to explore the things you’ve always wanted to become.
Whether you’re here to laugh at my missteps, learn alongside me, or be reminded that it’s okay to be a work in progress, welcome to Care to Be. Let’s grow together.
