Step Away from the Glowing Rectangle

From Faith & Family’s Daily Lenten Meditation for Thursday, March 25th:

“After you complete any essential morning tasks at the computer for the first time today, turn it off. Do not return to the computer today unless/until it is essential for the running of your household or care of your children.”

As much as I’m glad you’re here, reading this blog is not essential. Click away. Turn off the computer. Clean out your closets instead of your inbox. Read the Word instead of others’ words. Be fully present in your children’s lives. Look into their eyes instead of at the computer screen. Don’t schedule or plan. Just live.

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.
