My Rosary, My Lovey

I’ve always had a special devotion to Our Blessed Mother. Even as a child I remember praying to Mary during my bedtime prayers and then drifting off to sleep while clutching a string of rosary beads in my hand. Back then, it was the actual rosary more than the prayers that went along with itRead the whole post >>

Journaling for Moms

I have a box filled with journals dating back to the second grade. Here’s a look at an entry dated April 13, 1986: “We’re mooing. Today I want shoping and we were going to go to Veterans Acres. But Mom was to cold. Sheetie is getting big. I like this day.” No, I did notRead the whole post >>

Keep Watch Over Your Goats

Last night I poured my weepy, little heart out to my husband and told him how I was in a rough spot and had been feeling blue for various reasons. Dave patiently listened to me, took me into his arms, and then he reminded of one of the many reasons I love him by makingRead the whole post >>

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.
