Why I might have chosen the child-free life

During a recent radio interview with EWTN’s Sonrise Morning Show, we discussed how body image plays a role in keeping women from embracing pregnancy and becoming mothers. Our culture definitely perpetuates the whole I-don’t-want-to-do-that-to-my-body – “that” being pregnancy, otherwise known as granting your stomach and bum their very own zip codes and saying sayonara toRead the whole post >>

We survived!

I’ve started and stopped writing this post multiple times. There’s just not much time around here for blogging these days. I still want to give a summer recap. Wait until you hear about what I used some of my Tupperware for several weeks ago. You couldn’t eat its contents. That’s the only hint I’ll giveRead the whole post >>

Let wilted dandelions keep me from a wilted heart

During a recent late-night nursing session, I was reading a spiritual book when my mind started to drift. I began to reflect upon my day when, what at first appeared to be a random moment, began to stand out in my mental file cabinet of moments lived. The memory went something like this: I wasRead the whole post >>

To Whom Should We Be Apologizing?

Back when I actually had time to regularly read blogs, I’d frequently see bloggers apologizing for the lack of substance in recent posts or even for an extended silence.

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.
