About Us

We are a small family run business promoting messages you can take anywhere. 

A little about the owner:

My name is Karen Krall, I am a Daughter, Sister, Wife, Mother and an individual. Like most women my age, I spent my life taking care of everyone else around me. I ended up "sandwiched" between caring for my parent's (stage 4 breast cancer and dementia) as well as my son (High functioning Autism). Working full time plus my family needing high levels of care, I found my own health starting to fail. I was no longer able to put in the full time hours at the office because of it. Since then, my parents have both passed away and my son is now in a University studying criminal justice. This unique time in my life has provided me with many ups and downs, and the downs were very difficult. They did however, provide me a prospective on life and the ability to stand tall during the trials. First, people who get knocked down are not alone, however, finding the strength to get back up must come from within. We all have the ability to do it but sometimes a helping hand or reminder goes a long way. I want to reach out to those who are in the mist of their trials and provide hope that others have been there and made it through. It it possible!

Growing up, I spent a lot of time working on projects with my father. Woodworking seemed to be the area we both enjoyed, so I continued that with my items for sale. My mother always seemed to have a loving message for everyone when they needed it. She has passed on her love for words to me in poetic forms. It is my great joy to keep them alive while I work and pass along the hope in hard times they always provided to me. This is what Written On My Roots is all about. Taking the messages that make up our family, the messages that keep me grounded and going forward and use them to stand tall on. No matter how hard life gets, there is always the "next good thing" out there to enjoy.
