Do I have your attention now? I frequently find random videos and images created by some quirky kid on my camera roll.

Global Prayer Challenge for Moms, July 18-24

Recently, Delphine Ang, a passionate Catholic mother in the Philippines, reached out to me about joining a global prayer challenge for moms.

I’m working on not feel guilty about things that really have nothing to do with my morality or my value as a human being, and frequent blogging (or blogging at all) just doesn’t fall into either of those categories.

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.
