Karen's loyalty and devotion inspires success in all who read her works. She is motivated and motivating, constantly reminding others, “If I can do it, you can do it too!”
Karen has been teaching others for decades. Her philosophy is to focus on what an individual does have and not on what he or she does not have. For example, she once taught a paraplegic to focus on what mobility he did have in one arm and leg rather than dwelling on the immobility of his other limbs. Because of this he was able to improve his motor coordination.

If I Can You Can |
|
... 'I am writing you this article not only to inspire you, but to tell you that you are not alone. Anything is possible if you work toward your dreams and believe in yourself. In my day, things were much different. Inclusion was not yet born, and mainstreaming was just around the bend. Because I was not learning like other children, my mother took matters into her own hands and spoke to the principal of the school. Soon thereafter, my school had the first instructor who understood my disability.' ...

Why We Can Still Love |
|
... 'Despite my physical challenges I was able to find a love, a partner, and a life of my own, despite what the world thought of me.' ...

From Passivity to Progress |
|
... 'What’s more is that I am even more single-minded, driven, and determined to live my life on my own terms. I haven’t given up by any means. And, I will continue to live to tell the tale, and thrive, in the gifted and talented ways I was born to provide.' ...

Different Stages in a Learning Disabled Writer's Life |
|
... 'Too often learning disabled young people are written off like I was.'

... 'Every person who has come into my life and entered my circle, has been a direct descendent of the person I have chosen to become today. I believe in destiny. And I believe that not only were these experiences meant to be, but that these devoted people, who came into my life at the very moment I need them the most, helped me to reach for another attainable star. I believe that there are no mistakes in this world. Everything has a reason and a purpose for happening. I am not only grateful for them, but they taught me to be me… These people gently and sweetly guided me along my voyage with a kind encouragement and knowledge that no “expert” ever had in their hearts to give me.'

... 'I would not change one bit of my life’s course. Each experience has made me a stronger, more beautiful, humble, human being. It has helped me to look beyond all circumstance, learn from them, grow, and take what is good from each and every situation. I also learned not to take things as personally as I once did. Now I know how to let things go, laugh a whole lot more, and make light of situations that I once took way too seriously. I know now how to make a win-win situation out of something that is a so-called negative.'
