I was so very inspired by our R.E.A.L.* March Madness Moments series during the National Women's Month of March, that I decided to dedicate one Monday a month to celebrating "Girls On Fire." Join in reading about and celebrating these wonderful and inspiring women! And let's set the whole world on fire with inspirational stories of everyday women like you and me, who do their best to make a difference.
You can also help us keep the celebration going all year long by nominating women YOU know who are on fire in their families, homes, workplaces, and communities. Use the "Contact Us" page, or email us directly at [email protected].
Let's get this party started.....AGAIN!

Meet Karen Boyd-Williams...
What Karen has to say about herself...
I am a church girl, born and bred. I am a pastor’s kid (PK), raised on the south side of Chicago, who grew up knowing nothing but church. That had its benefits and its drawbacks, all of which I continue to learn as I grow older. But one important thing you should know about me is that I decided to have a relationship with God for myself. My parents could not and did not force that piece. God pricked my heart, letting me know that I could never be “perfect” or “ready” enough for Him without Him, that I was not “missing out” on anything by refusing to accept Him, that I could not continue to take advantage of His grace by assuming that I had more time to “sin” before I made that commitment, and a whole wealth of other things which I used as cheap excuses.
I am sold out to God. I believe His Word. I believe there is nothing impossible for Him, nothing impossible with Him, and nothing impossible through Him. Call me a Bible thumper, a fanatic, or ridiculous–I’ve heard it all before–and it still won’t change how I feel about my Father.
I personally love testimonies: they give me hope, inspiration, and new joy. So if I can help “just one somebody” (lol! Those are words to an old gospel song, for those of you who don’t know. Oh, and by the way, I think I’m funny too, lol!) by sharing my journey, including its bumps, bruises, and hiccups, then it is worth the transparency, and I believe that I am also helping to fulfill God’s purpose for my life.
"Now thanks be unto God Who always causes us to triumph." ~II Corinthians 2:14
