Celebrating Women's Voices

I didn't know when I met Karen thirty one years ago that she would become one of the most influential people of my life. We met when I was a young, starry-eyed college student, newly engaged to her brother, and she was a stay-at-home mom expecting her fourth child. She and her husband had hit a financial rough patch and she was living with her parents while her husband was trying to start a business in Texas. It was a trying time for her and she thought it was important to enlighten me on the difficulties of marriage, which I was not open to hearing at the time.

Fast forward a few years: I was now a young mom of two boys living in Colorado and Karen was teaching classes at a local college in Texas. Ever the seeker of wisdom, Karen would challenge my thinking as we visited late into the night on her stopovers to visit her parents in Wyoming.

There are so many things I could say about Karen. Her accomplishments, talents and interests are quite extensive, but I will let you read about some of those on her website.

What I want you to know about Karen is this: She is a rare soul. She has an insatiable desire to learn, to seek for truth and wisdom and to lovingly share that with others.  I would not be who I am without her love and friendship throughout the years.

Karen has helped hundreds of women access their own inner wisdom. She formed women's writing groups across the country where these women shared their "their deepest thoughts, feelings, musings, and lessons they’ve learned."

"The women who wrote with me found voices hungering for a deeper form of expression. Their joys and frustrations; complaints; and humorous and wise insights mirror the experiences of many. This book of shared thought invites you to listen to your own heart voice."
