About Me

My name is Karen Galarpe. I knew I wanted to be a writer as early as Grade 4 when my sis gave me a Hello Kitty diary for Christmas. Got sidetracked for a while in the world of finance (as a CPA), but went back to my first love, writing. Now I realize this is God's gift and I should use it to honor Him and encourage people around me.
