Since we are engaged in full Christmas detox and working to get our children back on track after several weeks of sweet binges, lateRead the whole post >>

Books Read in 2010

Happy New Year! I’m still working on ferret out the perfect word to embrace in 2011. I’ve particularly enjoyed these words/posts from others this year: mindful, enough, harmony, and Eucharisteo. Everybody seems to have their act together more than I do. Ah, but I’m not supposed to be comparing. No word yet, but I doRead the whole post >>

Why God Matters

I recently had the opportunity to review Why God Matters by Karina Lumbert Fabian and Deacon Steven Lumbert.

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.
