Writes Karen Bell: My goal in life was to become the kind of person who, instead of being judged by my shortcomings, would be loved by my family and friends, and to make a difference in the lives of people who struggle like me. I never knew that dream would lead me through a lifetime of adventure, struggles, challenges, and achievements beyond my imaginings. Through music, art, photography, writing and acting, God took the lumps of coal from my coal bucket of life and squeezed them with His power until the coal became diamonds of the purest and rarest quality.
