Addiction Help

My older brother suffered from addiction. His sickness not only caused him pain, but it tugged at the fabric of my family life and made my childhood difficult at times. Today, thanks be to God, he is sober and is in the process of discerning the priesthood. Please pray for him and all those who are healed or who are still under the grip of addiction.

All Treatment
No Longer Bound (this is where my brother finally found hope and healing)

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

Catholic Folk Toys (I adore these hand-painted saint dolls. So do my girls. They make great gifts to celebrate feast days, Sacraments, etc.)
The Budget Babe, Fab without a Fortune (Because I like clothes and shoes, but I’m also cheap.)

    Hey Kate, thanks for mentioning Peace Garden Writer. Really appreciate it. And by the way, looking forward to hearing about how the book is coming. Yes, my blog reading diet has been trimmed up too. I wish I could be more places at once but having to keep it to a manageable level. Always enjoy when I can read your posts though. Thinking of you…

    Nice list, very useful, thanks.

Hi, I’m Kate

I’m a wife, mom of five kids, writer, speaker, storyteller, bibliophile, runner, eating disorder survivor, and perfectionist in recovery. I'm the author of Getting Past Perfect: Finding Joy & Grace in the Messiness of Motherhood  and Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body.

I’ve tried a lot of things in my life – anorexia, bulimia, law school, teaching aerobics, extended breastfeeding, vegetarianism, trying to be perfect and failing miserably at it – and through it all I’ve been writing. And learning to embrace the messiness of life instead of covering it up, making excuses for it, or being ashamed of my brokenness or my home’s sticky counters.

Nowadays I’m striving every single, imperfect day to strike a balance between keeping it real and keeping it joyful.

 

“She could never be a saint, but she thought she could be a martyr if they killed her quick.”

―Flannery O'Connor
