Check out number six. Did annonymous help with this one.
Dear Anonymous,
No, I don't find Anonymous to be all that helpful, he/she cannot even spell his/her name right!
11. No one can hold a candle to Carrie Link's top 10 lists.

Ursula's so right about those shadows. Just can't have one without the other.
Still love the candles, though. And your lists.
Does it help that a candle burns in the Jack-0-Lantern?
Love #4 - I'm keeping that in mind today and all days.
Carrie,
This is a really beautiful list! When I first saw the title, I wasn't sure where it was going, but I LOVE it. It made me smile and reflect. I keep trying to live in the light!!
XOXO
I love how you put all of these together. Wondering what the inspiration/itch/urge was to do so.
I appreciate the reminder about light and shadow going together - at least I think I do. =)
