A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

And sometimes, perhaps, a thousand insults. Several people have emailed me about the photo that accompanied my recent article at InsideCatholic that discusses how I prayerfully came to the decision that I should not feel ashamed of nursing discreetly at Mass. While I don’t personally see it as obscene, I can see why the photographRead the whole post >>

Lessons Learned

The hate mail continues (and to be fair, so do the letters of support). While I know I’m most likely preaching to the choir and that a lot of you are probably sick and tired about hearing about this, I’ve got to get a few things off my chest. Uh-oh. I’ve just slapped lesson numberRead the whole post >>

Fireworks

I’ve had my share of fireworks this past week. Oh, I’m not talking about the WHAM-BAM, sparkly kind.

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.
