The Blog
As Featured In 
When you have your own website, you get your own blog! Sharing and writing are second nature for me, sometimes to a fault. But after 52 years, I’ve got lots to say. So sit down and join me in sharing some of the humorous, embarrassing, thoughtful, frightening, sad, joyful and a’ha! moments of my life…..xo Karm
A Girl for All Seasons
The jig is up……I have to come clean. I’ve been pretty much a no-show for the last several months. I’ve thought deeply about this communication, and what I might say to explain my absence. But the truth is, my answer is multifactorial and changes daily. One thing I...
A Father’s Legacy
This is a story about my father. Specifically, his death. Why am I telling this story on Father’s Day? Because his passing is as important to the story of his life as any other event, and it’s difficult to celebrate him without sharing it. My father did not have...
When Conflict Brings Clarity
None of us like conflict, or knowing someone is angry at us. It’s our nature to be in harmony and “connected” to others. People may say, “I don’t care if they’re mad at me, that’s their problem”, but the heart truly doesn’t rest until the conflict is resolved. The...

Let Me Tell You How Lucky I Am
When I started this project, I told myself I would follow wherever it lead me. Of course, I was hoping to help some folks along the way. But I really had no idea what would happen. Would anyone respond? Or even care? Would the stories of everyday women really lift and...

My Kitchen Floor
I need to clean the floor. I’ve known this for two days but haven’t gotten to it yet. I could embellish and tell you how busy I am, but for sure I could have at least squeezed in cleaning the kitchen floor. While I was procrastinating again this evening (no one cleans...
Reflections From The Past Week
Well, it’s been almost two weeks since This Girl Puts Out came to life online. It’s been a bit of a roller coaster emotionally. I hadn’t realized this had become my second child. I messed up a bit though, and I need to come clean. I wanted to launch TGPO this...
Here We Go….
As I sit here on the eve of my website and podcast launch, I am filled with emotions from pride to trepidation. My heart is full when I look at the project as a whole. I am humbly pleased. As I see the pictures of my beautiful family displayed, I am tearful....
