Goose Bumps

After a particularly rough day, I recently prayed (begged is a more accurate term given my desperate despondency over a personal intention): “God, I don’t need a miracle, but I do need to know your hand is at work in my life.” (I should have added, “But if you have any miracles to spare, I’mRead the whole post >>

Priorities

Today I’m over at Sarah’s space discussing how I attempt to balance writing projects with the rest of my life. (Not so easy lately, which explains my sparse blog this week.)

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
