At the Heart of it All

The girls (mostly Madeline, my five-year-old) came up with their very own Lenten plan, and it’s been going well. We’ve talked about how the goal of Lent is to become more like Jesus. Then I asked her how she thought she might be able to do that. She shared her ideas, and I wrote themRead the whole post >>

Birthday Daybook

I’ve really enjoyed reading Daybooks from bloggers like Elizabeth Foss and Sarah Reinhard over the past few months, so I’ve decided to start occasionally sharing my own Daybook. The Simple Woman’s Daybook idea began with Peggy in 2008. I’ve decided to adopt some of its headings, make up some of my own as well asRead 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.
