life God created. HimPower: Will you play the role of Ciao Bella? Karen Abercrombie: Yes, I will play her. HimPower: What do you want people to walk away feeling after they see Ciao Bella? Karen Abercrombie: You don’t know how it ends--I know they will not be able to just cast them off after that. HimPower: Do you have plans to make the play into a movie? Karen Abercrombie: If someone said they wanted to make a movie, it would be fine. But my focus right now is on my production company, Handmaiden Entertainment. HimPower: Tell me about your vision for Handmaiden Entertainment. Karen Abercrombie: My focus is on producing positive programming for the teens and children. There’s so much out there that doesn’t provide positive role models. HimPower: You and your husband Michael have one son. Has your son considered following in your footsteps? Karen Abercrombie: No, he’s in school in Massachusetts. Right now he’s in Hong Kong studying bio-robotics that has something to do with fighting air pollution. He has a deep spirit—I don’t know what God is going to do with him. HimPower: I saw where it says you are “on a mission to use “ALL” of your God given talents in excellence, to bring glory to the Creator.” Why do you think you feel so passionately about this? Karen Abercrombie: I think people need to make time for God to understand who He is. He loved you into existence! HimPower: What else would you like people to know about you that hasn’t been covered with the questions I’ve asked? Karen Abercrombie: I love nature, walking in the dirt with my shoes off, gardening. I’m also getting deeper in astronomy, the stars and the night sky is amazing. See God’s creation wherever it is. All are different expressions of God’s love and His work. We want to give value to what we think—we want to put people in compartments. If people would get an understanding that God loves everything— our differences—loved us into existence, we could appreciate each other better.  Karen Abercrombie is a woman of numerous talents.
