My name is Karen. I am a single mother of two wonderful boys, currently in the throes of my second divorce. Yes, it’s as glamourous as it sounds. The last ten years of my life has been a rollercoaster of missteps, bad decisions, growing pains and small victories thrown in here and there for good measure.
My most recent divorce has catapulted me onto a journey of spiritual and emotional awakening, and my writing here is a reflection of my discoveries. Michaelangelo was often overheard saying “Ancora Imparo” when he was well into his EIGHTIES. It means “I am still learning”. It is on this blog that I will give my heart a voice.
I’m real. That’s about all I can promise you.

Love the pic & enjoyed the blog. Sorry to hear about the circumstances, though. Just thinking about you (Short-e) & our summer trips (Centrifuge, choir). Wish I lived closer.

Karen!! Life is crazy, I love your blog already..i read something you wrote to someone else a couple of weeks ago & it really stuck with me. You said something like ” I have had to learn not to fall in love with someone’s potential.” (probably totally butchering it lol) Well..oddly enough, this echoed in my mind and helped me to decide to end my marriage 12 days ago. This was something I had to do for the wellbeing of me & my daughter, so thanks for giving me strength. When you speak from the heart with trueness, who knows the lengths to which it will reach? mmwah!
