My 2008 Lenten Strategy

I’ve had a lot of prayers rifling through my head lately. Choosing the right presidential candidate in the Georgia Primary. (This is the first election I’ve ever encountered where I didn’t decide whom to vote for until I was waiting in line at the polls! I was actually still praying for wisdom right before IRead the whole post >>

A Kids’ Lenten Activity: Lamb of God

I saw this simple but wonderful idea of making a “Lamb of God” and adding a cotton ball for each day of Lent over at Karen Edmisten’s blog. For a photo and instructions, click here. We made our own little lamb today to help us count down the days until Easter.

(Illustration, Book of Gospels – Midwest Theological Forum) It’s Carnival time! And I’m not just talking about another gripping, breathlessly plotted, unabashedly literary, and intriguing installment of Catholic Carnival.

Happy Easter!

Madeline and I had a very busy but meaningful Triduum. We attended a Seder lunch with Totus Tuus, our homeschooling group on Thursday.

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.
