Carol shares her discoveries, insights, humor, and wisdom through books, blog posts, and articles. “Carol puts into words thoughts that I didn’t even know I had,” one reader remarked. “Her writing has helped me learn a lot about myself, as well as the people around me. “<\/p>\n
A journalist and magazine editor by training, Carol started blogging in the late 1990s before the term web log had even been coined. “It was a way for me to process the self-discoveries I was making during that time in my life,” she explains. “Writing stories helped me process the learning, and emailing those stories allowed me to share my discoveries with friends.”<\/p>\n
Soon, readers around the world started asking Carol to publish her life lessons — called carols<\/em> — in book form. The result was her 2003 collection of stories, The book of carols: Songs of discovery on the path to enlightenment<\/em>.<\/p>\n The discoveries continue on her new blog – CarolLines.<\/em><\/p>\n Carol’s writing has appeared in numerous national and international publications over the years, including The Washington Post, TV Guide, Travel-Holiday, American Film, The Asian Wall Street Journal,<\/em> and The China Business Review<\/em> (which she edited from 1980-84). A career highlight was interviewing Keith Thibodeaux, the actor who portrayed Little Ricky on I Love Lucy, <\/em>on the occasion of Little Ricky’s 30th birthday.<\/p>\n Currently Carol is completing a book on her Return on Experience\u2122 (ROX) model. That is, when one of her two black cats isn’t hogging the computer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Carol shares her discoveries, insights, humor, and wisdom through books, blog posts, and articles. “Carol puts into words thoughts that I didn’t even know I had,” one reader remarked. “Her writing has helped me learn a lot about myself, as well as the people around me. “<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":509,"parent":0,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/P4tZVm-6v","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carolgoldsmith.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/403"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carolgoldsmith.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carolgoldsmith.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carolgoldsmith.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carolgoldsmith.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=403"}],"version-history":[{"count":21,"href":"https:\/\/carolgoldsmith.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/403\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":556,"href":"https:\/\/carolgoldsmith.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/403\/revisions\/556"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carolgoldsmith.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/509"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carolgoldsmith.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
