hey there, it's me.


There isn't much I don't want to be- an author, a traveler, a teacher. Anything to do with art and words and old photographs makes my head spin, heart flutter. Good music, letters via snail mail, a camera around my neck, and various notebooks with scatter-brained scribbles are my life. I'd really rather drink coffee than tea with a good book. Laughter is nothing more than the spirit singing. Most importantly, Jesus is who I live for. My dream is to inspire people, notice what is hidden, and maybe even be ordinary, as long as I'm real in every way. I believe  'we all need to know what it means to be honest. Honesty is more than not lying. It is truth telling, truth speaking, truth living, and truth loving.' -James E. Faust. My blog is a reflection of what I love most. It's where I learn about myself, learn about being creative, learn about being inspired, learn to see the extraordinary.  These words that will slip away as the shadows, what is eventually forgotten by fading memory- this is what is now, this is who I am, this is my story. My hope is that you are heartened to pick up a pen and write your's too. I'm Katie- it's nice to meet you.

ps- thanks to Jocee and the girls for inviting me to contribute to AOU!
