Several years ago Karen Anderson miraculously survived a head-on collision. Doctors confirmed that severe and "incurable" nerve damage had robbed her of the use of her hands. With unrelenting determination and a profound faith in God’s ability to heal Karen turned her life around. She regained the use of her hands and became pain-free. As a result of that experience, she has chosen to help people deal with the emotional trauma they suffer arising from their addictions as well as physical and emotional abuse. Karen’s strong faith and passion for life has helped others to experience freedom from the “fear within.” An Author, her books include "Nikki’s Tail-Waggin’ Lessons," and the series "The Little Book of BIG Thoughts." Her articles have been published in several newspapers and have even been published as far as Kenya and Australia. Through her company, Soaring To Hope, her writings and live events empower and encourage women to rise above their storms. She believes that now is the time to move from times of life-gripping fear to a life of faith and hope in this crazy world. Specialties: Motivation, chaplain, speaking, writing, even piano teaching
