About Me
Hi, I'm
Karen and I'm glad you found my little place in Blogland. I'm a super
happy woman who just happens to have the best husband and children on
the planet. Coincidence? This page is designed to give you a slightly better view of just who I am...so let's see...I would say that if I had to pick a few words out of the air I would describe myself as individual, honest, open, happy, friendly, funny, and a bit awkward in my TMI ways. In a good way.
I am always learning. At some point of every day I'm researching something...I'm good that way. Today it was the Revolutionary War, Wittgenstein, and lighting/photography.
I write because I think. If I could stop thinking I might not blog. Instead I have three blogs.
Why Blog?
Well, I started because of the thing about feeling the need to have a presence online as an Open Atheist. Now I just love the people who visit and I like stretching myself. I will continue to blog about being an atheist, being parenting, and just about anything else that strikes me.
My
Background
I'm a small town girl from Middle America. We are St. Louisans, recently returned from living a year and a half in Brisbane QLD Australia. My husband is a brilliant computer geek who was invited down there to do some work—we jumped at the chance!
I have a couple of undergrad degrees and an graduate degree in Social Work. Most of my professional work was in therapy and mental health or substance abuse treatment. After all of that I had two kids and knew that I had to stay home with them. We started homeschooling in 2002.
