Gratitude

All the beautiful, imperfect things

February 5, 2021February 4, 2021 / Katherine Turner / Leave a comment

Photo by Sheldon Liu on Unsplash I love creating. Of course, not all creative talents are created equally—at least not for me. Most of mine was diverted into writing, though I still enjoy engaging in other artistic pursuits from time to time. One such pursuit is drawing. Every so often since I was young, I’ve felt a deep … Continue reading All the beautiful, imperfect things

We are the Storm

December 18, 2020December 16, 2020 / Katherine Turner / 6 Comments

Photo by Breno Machado on Unsplash If I had to label the way I engage in the writing process, I would say that I'm an intuitive writer. It’s as if I’m listening to a friend tell me a story about their life and I'm simply here to transcribe their words. I also follow my gut regarding which project … Continue reading We are the Storm

Time to Breathe

November 20, 2020November 19, 2020 / Katherine Turner / Leave a comment

Photo by Artem Kovalev on Unsplash Thanksgiving is—bar none—my favorite holiday of the year. Yes, I do celebrate Christmas. And no, Christmas isn’t actually my favorite holiday. It really is Thanksgiving. You may be wondering, Turkey and stuffing and potatoes and beans and pies and cookies? Eating to excess for days on end? You like that more than … Continue reading Time to Breathe

What it would have been like…

October 9, 2020October 5, 2020 / Katherine Turner / Leave a comment

Photo by lauren lulu taylor on Unsplash My oldest daughter, Marie, recently had a playdate with two girls from the neighborhood—Layla, who is about two years older than Marie, and Caroline, who is about a year older. It was the first real playdate my extroverted and ultrasocial daughter had ever hosted at our house (and … Continue reading What it would have been like…

Losing Face

June 12, 2020June 10, 2020 / Katherine Turner / Leave a comment

Photo by Caleb Woods on Unsplash Have you ever done something to lose face with your peers? Your superiors? Maybe your family or friends? I think it’s almost a rite of passage to do so when you’re growing up; it’s part of learning acceptable social behavior and developing your sense of right and wrong, your … Continue reading Losing Face

Silver Linings: The Great Outdoors

May 15, 2020June 10, 2020 / Katherine Turner / Leave a comment

Only two months ago, you could ask a single question and receive two predictable, yet vastly different, answers from my daughters. The question was simple enough: What would you like to do? 95% of the time, Grace (my three-year-old) would respond with gusto that she wanted to go outside. And 99.9% of the time, Marie … Continue reading Silver Linings: The Great Outdoors

Moments of Gratitude

April 17, 2020June 10, 2020 / Katherine Turner / 4 Comments

Much like Annie, the main character in my novel Finding Annie, I have always searched for silver linings. The more dire the situation, the more important it has always been for me to find something positive; I simply can’t stomach the thought of something dreadful occurring and having only terrible takeaways. Some aspect of my … Continue reading Moments of Gratitude
