I’ve been writing over at care2.com for a little while: I wrote a piece on the TIME Magazine “New Greatest Generation”. When my mother called to find out if we have survived the latest little natural disaster – Irene- she mentioned that she had seen my name in her TIME Magazine! I thought she was kidding but then I got a copy and voila!
I won’t deny that I am absolutely delighted with this. But even more, I am so excited that someone is actually reading what I’m writing. After many years of blogging and writing in the small military blog world – it is wonderful to know that others are actually listening! This Quote is actually from my friend Tammy Jacobson – wish I could tell TIME that I didn’t come up with it.

Awesome Karen! SO IMPRESSED. And I’m not surprised, they picked up on what you wrote because you are spot on. Well done!
Wow Karen, that’s awesome!! Good for you!!!
Yay Karen!
We are so proud to have Karen writing for Care2! She is a wonderful writer and observer (and person) and it our honor that she agreed to write for us.
