This & That

I received my December issue of Cooking Light, and there was a great article about eating mindfully. Like I discussed in this anti-dieting post, the article encouraged readers to think in terms of choosing to do something or choosing not to do something rather than telling yourself, “I should eat this,” or “I shouldn’t eatRead the whole post >>

Why You’ll Never Find Me on a Diet

I have a few pounds to lose from my most recent pregnancy. I’m trying to make healthy choices to shed the weight, but I’m not beating myself up when I have a slice of birthday cake (we have several family birthdays to celebrate around this time). And whether I lose those last few pounds orRead the whole post >>

Through a (New) 7-Year-Old’s Eyes

Madeline received a camera for her birthday. She’s been clicking away ever since. We recently downloaded her first batch of photos. I loved what I saw. I love what she sees: Herself, up close and personal Baby brother’s smiles

Lucky 7

Dear Madeline, We made your birthday truffles together today. You request these rich globs of goodness every year, and usually I’m the one who makes them, or I have to be engaged in some serious damage control to make sure you don’t burn yourself on the hot melted chocolate or splatter our counter with theRead the whole post >>

An Interview with Lisa Hendey

I’ve been privileged to know Lisa Hendey for several years now. I consider her not only a strong, faithful voice in Catholic media, but also a professional and personal mentor. Despite her many accomplishments what always shines through and impresses me the most is her humility. She never stops thanking others and shifting the praiseRead 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.
