Embracing my faith continues to be a real struggle as of late, but thankfully I’m innately a stubborn person so that meansRead the whole post >>

Let’s talk about anxiety and depression

Do I have your attention now? I frequently find random videos and images created by some quirky kid on my camera roll. This one cracked me up because there’s still a limit on how much TP we can pick up at our local grocery store, and what’s crazy to me is some single college kidRead the whole post >>

Be Jesus’ Skin

Blessed Teresa of Calcutta said, “I am God’s pencil, a tiny bit of pencil with which He writes what He likes.” We are all God’s pencils no matter how He chooses to use our gifts and our lives to carry out His will. There have been too many times in my life when I haveRead 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.
