Pumping Up My Soul

Over at In God’s Image, I write about how I’m going to focus on nourishing a healthy soul instead of joining the throngs of people who add things like “lose five pounds” or “train for a 5K” to their list of New Year’s resolutions. Sure, I plan on sticking to my healthy lifestyle (and still indulging in chocolate), but I’ve got more important areas of self-improvement that demand my attention.

For faith inspiration this New Year, check out Cheers! Here’s to a Healthy Soul! I’d love to hear what goals you’re setting that have nothing to do with the scale or the way your jeans fit.

May the New Year bring you joy, health, and happiness!

    My New Year’s Resolution is to become the woman that God created me to be! Of course I won’t make it there this year, but I am going to get as far as I possibly can!

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
