To say Karen is a diving instructor is a bit of a misnomer. Karen is a Stone in the Pond be-cause she is a soaring instructor.Karen helps children's spirits take flight. She connects to their very essence and assists them in finding their unique strengths and using that energy to achieve what they thought they couldn't mere moments before. I have known Karen for two years, and I am continually amazed by the positive, sometimes life-changing, effect her presence has on people, including myself.
When Karen asked my younger daughter how diving made her feel, she replied, "It feels like I'm flying." Karen answered, "That's why we dive" and I was reminded of words Leonardo Da Vinci wrote:
When once you have tasted flight,
you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward,
for there you have been,
and there you will always want to be.
