Karen's first writing project, 𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨𝙖𝙡 𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙢𝙖𝙨 𝙋𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙩, was published in 2012 and updated in May 2024. As a busy mom of four boys, she understood the challenges many parents face during the holiday season. Driven by necessity, she decided to simplify the Christmas production to ensure it could still happen. Encouraged by a local school teacher, Karen published and shared her script with other churches. Each year, her script, charmingly performed by children, beautifully narrates the true story of Jesus' birth.
With their family now grown, Karen and her husband are enjoying their time as empty nesters by traveling and exploring the natural beauty of our planet. Having spent most of her life in Alberta, Canada, she shares from their many Rocky Mountain vacation experiences in her 𝙍𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙮 𝙈𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙂𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙡𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘾𝙖𝙣𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚, 𝘽𝙖𝙣𝙛𝙛, 𝙇𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙇𝙤𝙪𝙞𝙨𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙅𝙖𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙧 (currently unavailable as it is being updated.)
Hiking, biking, and canoeing are Karen's favorite ways to explore new places, while tranquil forest walks rejuvenate her mind and refresh her spirit.
Through her writing, Karen hopes to inspire others to explore, seek out new experiences, and develop a deeper appreciation for the gift of our wonder-filled world.
