Randomness

I missed Jen’s Quick Takes yesterday, but I’m going to indulge in some tardy randomness. Madeline makes her big stage debut later today as Narrator 1 in a gripping performance of The Enormous Turnip. I tried to convince the grandparents that they really didn’t need to drive an hour to see her on the stageRead the whole post >>

My Heart is Filled With Joy, Too

Thank you, sweet Madeline. I treasure your Valentine’s note, and I treasure you.

My Epiphany

The Christmas decorations will slowly be coming down this week, but Father reminded me at the Mass celebrating the Epiphany of the Lord that the route is still before us.

{this moment} Jumping for Joy – Literally

(Yes, this post popped in to make an appearance earlier than I thought I’d scheduled it. I don’t know why I try to schedule things ahead of time because I continually goof up. What day of the week is it? It’s the year 2010, right?) {this moment} – A Friday ritual. A single photo –Read the whole post >>

Vacation Images and a Few Words, Too

Two weeks ago I practiced the art of doing nothing (and I’m finally getting around to writing about it now because we’ve had a lot more to do than nothing since returning home). So did my children. We were busy; yet, we weren’t. The paradox of vacation. We had no schedule to stick to, errandsRead 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.
