Lions, Cheetahs, and Bears, Oh My!

Today I asked Madeline how she got a boo-boo – a tiny scrape on her ankle – and she replied, “Cheetah bite it.” She then informed me that a lion bit her butt. At Gymboree Play & Music (a gift from Gaba and Papa), we pretended to be bears. When Dave came home from work, she told him she was a “bear in the forest at ‘Gymbree’.” So we definitely took a walk on the wild side today.

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

Hi, I’m Kate

 

I'm the author of two nonfiction books Getting Past Perfect and Weightless, a storyteller*, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, mom of five, book junkie, socially awkward nerd as well as a speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery.

I am currently working towards my MFA in Fiction at Warren Wilson. Thank you to everyone who has read my drafts, offered feedback, and cheered me on. The writing life is often solitary, but I wouldn’t be here without a community of support.
