Karen Shykitka resides on the planet Earth within the consciousness of Gaia. From a young age she felt different and not much 'out there' in the world made sense. That's why it didn't enter her mind there was school the next day, when she quietly woke her two children to see the thousands of winking lights of fireflies along the ditches and in the bushes. That's also why she'll plop herself down on the sidewalk with her two-year-old granddaughter to watch the ants hurrying and scurrying to find food.

Her message to all those who feel different: "Don't try to fit yourself into something that will make you feel ugly inside. Rather, know that in this evolving consciousness you and only you are a perfect expression of yourself. Allow yourself to be."
