After years of being a performance-oriented Christian, Karen learned to rest and enjoy being in God's presence. Her passion is speaking to women's groups about the satisfaction that only God can bring. 

She also writes articles and devotions for Christian periodicals including The Upper Room, Discipleship Journal, Women Alive, Fulfill, Mom Sense, Bible Advocate’s online magazine Now What?, and The Secret Place. 

She is currently writing a nonfiction book entitled Lunch with Loretta: Feeding a Hungry Soul. It is a personal narrative between Karen and her Christian mentor Loretta Chalfant (since 2003) in which they discuss the Biblical principles that govern their lives.

She lives in Auburn, California with her husband of 35 years. They have three grown children.
