Motherhood & Words

Introducing Zoe Frances!

March 7, 2008 / Kate /

Greetings! This is D and I am posting at Kate’s request. Zoe Frances (6 lbs. and 19 3/4 in.) joined our family on Wednesday, February 5, 2008. Kate is convalescing and doing very well. This birthing experience is amazingly different and much more enjoyable than our first, thus far.

I cannot believe Kate gave me her password and confidence to post on her behalf. Let me be honest, the aforementioned is not anything like I conjured in my mind while wending my way through the carpeted corridors of the hospital. However, I kept it together and came to my senses when typing the letters Z-O-E!

Kate will post in the near future!

Kate

I have been teaching creative writing for almost twenty years. Reading about other women’s lives and experiences has expanded my world. To be able to walk in someone else’s shoes, whether it’s for a moment or an hour or a few days, is an incredible gift, providing me with insight into the human experience. It takes courage to write your truths, especially if it doesn’t seem as though anyone cares, as though anyone is listening. Let me tell you: your stories matter, I’m listening, and I’m here to help you find the heart of those truths, to get them down on the page, to craft them, and to send them out into the world. Together, we will change the world, one story at a time.
