Word to the Wise: On Faith

“Nonbelievers and those struggling with doubt have been heard to ask, ‘If God exists, why doesn’t God make that fact obvious?’ This statement from Jesus [‘Daughter, your faith has saved you.’ Mark 5:34] may hint at part of the answer.

7 Quick Takes (Vol. 4)

#1 I don’t watch American Idol and honestly have no interest. I’ve heard the cut-off age is 28, so I just missed my chances at stardom. Rats!

I Couldn’t Agree More…

Preschooler while watching an educational DVD she received for Christmas: Dora’s really weird. Me: Why? Preschooler: She yells too loud. As if on cue, we hear the enthusiastic explorer yelling very loudly: “Backpack!” To make matters worse, she asks my child to yell “backpack” with her.

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.
