A Coronavirus PSA

Image Credit: Grateful Rebekah  Quote credit: Simcha Fisher Consider this a friendly but firm PSA, but please start taking the coronavirus and its implications seriously. As Americans, we love our freedom. Yet, as Christians, we know that freedom (free will) can lead to stupid decisions. My husband is a doctor. A few weeks ago heRead the whole post >>

Running my own race

I’ll never forget the first time I ran six consecutive miles. I was 14 and I’d been running a three-mile loop all summerlong, several times a week. One morning I headed out to the park across my street, and I broke into a run. The sky was a steely grey and before long sheets ofRead the whole post >>

False humility and how to avoid it

I used to think I didn’t have a pride problem. I know, I know. The first sign that someone probably has issues with pridefulness is her belief that she doesn’t.

The masks we wear

My two oldest daughters recently had a chance to get all dressed up as well as flex their social muscles at their middle school masquerade dance.

Loving my here and now body

Never did I ever think I’d post a photo of myself in a swimsuit on social media. Fully-clothed selfies take me out of my comfort zone, so a selfie of me in a swimsuit?

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.
