Hi, I’m the gal behind all those Karen Salmansohn quotes and NotSalmon Images you see out there in social media.
I started my career as a writer and creative director in advertising.
Eventually I quit because I was passionate about channeling my creativity in a way to help others!
I started to write books which I call “self help for people who wouldn’t be caught dead doing self help” – merging stylish graphics with humor and psychological research.
For example, How To Be Happy Dammit and Think Happy. were both big bestsellers.
Plus my books started to be read, loved and praised by a bunch of cool celebrities.
Unfortunately back then I had what I call “mommy brain.” I was an exhausted, overly busy newbie mommy – and having trouble concentrating for the long periods of time which were needed to write long books.
However…I was feeling highly inspired about merging my design skills with my life quote writing and creating virtual inspirational quote posters!
I’m happy, honored and tickled that thanks to my inspirational quotes, I grew my Facebook Author page to over 1 million followers. And my NotSalmon Instagram page to over 63,000 followers.
Today I decided to gather together a collection of some of my very first original Karen Salmansohn quotes – from when my son was first born.
Below are some of my very first NotSalmon images – which I created in the years 2010 – 2015. Voila! 🙂
Feel free to print out these motivating life quotes and post them around your home or office. Or share them on Instagram and tag me! I’m @notsalmon! I promise I’ll wave a friendly hello back – and might re-share your share!
