Souls Incorporated

I’ve done it again. I’ve let that nasty thing called pride rob me of my serenity. I don’t want to bore you with all the, well, boring details of my little sob story, but I recently found myself crying in my bed all because of a bruised ego. My husband came to my side andRead the whole post >>

Thank You!

I can’t possibly begin to personally thank all of the men and women who have reached out, shown their support of my InsideCatholic article, and given me a cyber pat on the back. Your emails, blog posts, phone calls, kindness, and prayers have meant a great deal to me. Thank you. I do want toRead the whole post >>

Where’s My Mind?

Pit Stop for Peace

I went to confession recently and my penance was to try to make an occasional stop by the adoration chapel.

Happy Mother’s Day!

“Thank you, women who are mothers! You have sheltered human beings within yourselves in a unique experience of joy and travail.

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.
