I was fortunate to unwrap my passion for swimming at a young age and that very passion propelled me through the Olympics multiple times in a 24 year span. Unwrapping Your Passion produces a fresh look at what it takes to live a passionate, full life.

We all have a responsibility. A responsibility to ourselves, our family, and to those closest to us, to live a life of fun, excitement, and fullness. Unfortunately, the demands and stressors of work and life can cause us to lose track of what we once knew; leaving us listless, empty, and filled with unanswered questions.

In Karen Putzs groundbreaking book, Unwrapping your Passion, she brilliantly helps us understand what passion is, what it is for us, and why we can no longer afford to ignore it.

Your passion is a gift from God. What you choose to do with it, is your gift back.

Her powerful questions and engaging stories will bring you an understanding of your own passions and how to pursue them. Unwrapping Your Passion is a must read for anyone who is ready for a rewarding life doing what they are uniquely designed to do.

author of Lead With Your Integrity: Choosing to Follow Your Moral Code Regardless of Circumstances

Karens enthusiastic and passionate nature cant help but draw you into this book. She is adamant that everyone is capable of more than they realize and age or disability is not a deterrant to achieving AWE moments. Playing it safe doesnt allow for for a life of passion and AWE and Karen challenges the reader to put aside fear and the mundane. From the beginning I was drawn into the stories, examples and challenges Karen puts forth in this book. You will be too!

Joanne F. Miller

author of Creating a Haven of Peace

Its all too easy to get caught up in daily routines and settle into a mediocre rhythm in life. Unwrapping Your Passion will challenge you to dig deep into what youve always wanted to do to create a life you truly love. Karen Putz reminded me of how important it is to keep writing (which is my passion), despite all the other forces that conspire against us.

my wonderful friend who taught me

that passion is not only the fire in the belly,

but also the quiet nudging from the heart.
