I have always been a lover of the 1940′s. When other ten year olds were reading Nancy Drew and Ramona the Pest I was immersed in the Diary of Anne Frank and Amelia Earhart Autobiographies. For years it was the only thing that my Mom could get me to read and every free report I...

Last year the onset of Pursuit 31 rocked my world! I STILL cannot believe how fast the community grew and all that God did through it. We were able to put on 4 Sold Out retreats all over the country and meet so many amazing women who are passionate about keeping family first in their...

Claire and Kelly are the best:)! Wish I could go!!
The older I get the more I realize that life doesn’t change much after high school. I mean, we get older, we get married, and buy houses, and we realize that there is so much more than getting crowned homecoming queen. Yet sometimes… it still feels like I am walking down that fluorescent lit...

thank you, i really needed this today =)
I was advised to read this today from a friend:) I am thankful I did, and thank you for putting into words the words in my head. Comforting to know that I am not alone.
I just love that last line.
Amen Sister! I couldn’t have said it better…and believe me, I have. Funny, I just saw Taylor Swifts video this morning…said to myself I love that line… And here you are quoting it. Awesome. You my dear, are an epic woman.
Love it Karen and love PS!! This post is so true and I admit i’m still learning to let go and let God I tend to worry and i hate that part of me that has bitterness or jealousy at times it’s a HARD industry thankfully worth it!
Very well written and said! I surround myself with people who have the same mindset as you! Keep it up!
Your words really resonate with me today. “What they meant for destruction God used for instruction.”
I have no idea about the exact circumstances that brought you to write this, but it is clear that what they meant for destruction YOU have used for instruction. That is a beautiful and powerful thing! Keep collecting those rocks and keep building <3
A really awesome post and so very true. U are so honest and loving karen. Thank u for being u.
Good. For. You. Karen! Beautifully written and I love the verse you chose for this post. Its so hard when you are a people please to deal with persons who can be so harsh. I too, am learnning to deal with this and it’s no easy task. I think you, and I, will find we can give that energy to our family and be not only a better person but a better Mother too. j
Amen sistah! Thank you for sharing your heart and for being a wonderful example to SO many women! You are truly inspiring! XOXO
Love this post friend….something I know us people pleasers deal with often and sadly enough a feeling that can be appropriate at any stage of this business we all love! Love you for your accomplishments and your heart – proud of you for all you’ve done and thank you for sharing your heart and your successes! Um, and cannot wait to see you next month!!!!!
Your already building something EPIC! xoxo
Well Said!
I have had more than my share of haters in this life along with some seriously vicious gossip ( flat out lies) that has brought me to my knees on more than one occasion. It can be heartbreaking when you are in the midst of it and always seemed to go hand it hand with great success.
Love them and pray for them ..that is the only way through it! Love until it hurts and then Love some more. Someone once told me ” People that hate are people that hurt” and I believe it to be true. Love them the best you can knowing that and remember if they weren’t hating on you they would be hating on someone else.
In the end I made the wise choice of stepping out of the circle and allowing it to shift and did it ever!!! No more sleepless nights sobbing in my pillow worrying about what was being said and who was believing it. I let God fight the battle and moved on. Best decision of my life. <3
Karen, thank you for posting this. I am a people pleaser too and have had to learn to let go and let God. I agree to cherish the friends that are there and stick. Thanks my friend. <3 Kelly
I have been a full time photographer/ mom/ wife for the past 5 years. At first I refrained from calling myself a full time photographer because I did have so many other things tugging at me for my time. However when it came down to it, I calculated out just how much time was going...

Wonderful post Karen!!!
This made me tear up a little bit! God truly is glorious and MERCIFUL! So incredibly merciful! It’s so encouraging to hear of people giving God control. This is a lesson I seem to keep having to relearn, but in the end, giving God the reins I was fighting so hard to hold onto is always a thousand times better than anything I could have dreamt!
Thank you so much for this reminder!
Thank you for sharing this incredibly inspring message of faith and for your continued support of others! May God continue with His blessings upon you and your family!
would you mind sending me your email address? i am so totally THERE right now, and i would love to chat with you.
Love it!! Thanks for sharing your heart!
I’m coming to you today with extreme excitement and slight disbelief. I’ve always had a slight obsession with the WW2 Era. Coming from a long line of veterans spanning WW2, Vietnam and the gulf war, I have a special place in my heart for all things military. However anything from the 1940′s has my heart....
