"Though Karin and I were connected through a previous web marketing organization in the past, I didn't know her story or journey of sexual abuse until recently.

From my recollection, Karin was always eager with excitement to learn the cutting-edge strategies as presented at the same conferences I was speaking at. We hit it off and kept in touch over the years.

When I reconnected with her, it was like we didn't skip a beat.

Karin shared a bit of her story with me, and was trusting to let me read her manuscript of a book she's writing about her story and journey to shed light on the topic of domestic violence and sexual abuse, a topic that definitely needs more awareness and press.

Shocked, appalled and sickened were emotions that flooded my mind and body as I read her manuscript - it's saddening to know many more are affected by this dilemma but feel they don't have a voice in the matter.

It's a miracle Karin's alive to tell her story today, and I'm honored to know her - a woman of creativity, talent, fighting spirit and power.

It was a no-brainer when Karin asked me to recreate an extreme makeover of her site from her Blogger blog to a new and improved platform so she can share her voice and be taken seriously as a writer, a woman who has overcome her past, and delivering hope to those in the darkness of this tragedy.

When Karin's book is published, I urge you to buy it, read it, and pay it forward - someone's life - through six degrees of separation - may be saved by your gesture."
