It’s Never Too Late
posted by Kate Traci
It’s Never Too Late to Start Writing. Writers are like flowers. Okay, so that sounds a little cheesy, a little Wordsworthian, but it’s true. Some flowers bloom early, others bloom on time, and then there are those that bloom late. Yet no matter when those blooms appear, they are brilliant, gorgeous and […]

Third Place
posted by Kate Traci
I have a goal, to enter one writing contest a month. So far I have entered two this year, but hey that’s a start. I entered a short essay for the California Writers Club contest last month and won third place. Won 25 bucks too…I think I’ll buy me a frozen yogurt. Truthfully I won […]

What Really Happened at the Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot…
posted by Kate Traci
I have travelled to Africa, climbed a mountain, driven across Europe and the United States. I have ran three half-marathons and yet the local 5k foiled me. Here’s to the days we make a mistake, feel like a dummy, and have an adventure. There’s a lesson in here somewhere…but I say just watch the movie […]
My Relationship with Food

Boot Camp

She left me. My workout partner that is. She left to go back to college – sheesh – of all things. Yet I remain. The snooze gets hits a little more often, I arrive to my workout a few minutes later most days. But she left me with the habit, thank God, so I keep […]

Book Launch
posted by Kate Traci
I was encouraged to post this video of the book launch. The authors who wanted too were able to read their stories in front of an audience. It was an exciting and nerve wracking experience! My reading is just under 10 minutes long so if you have a free moment take a peek. Let me […]

Running is hard
posted by Kate Traci
Running is hard. Repeat after me, running is hard. Now tell my coach because he doesn’t seem to believe me. Running hurts. My knee hurts, my ankle hurts, my feet hurt and surprisingly my shoulder likes to hurt too. The original excitement that accompanied most prior workouts seems to have vanished. I must have hit […]
