2019 ACFW Carol Award WinnerHey Everyone, This is gonna be from the gut (or heart, whichever you are more comfortable with <giggle>). I know it’s been a hot minute (or five million) since I’ve sent something out. Frankly, since my father passed away in February, I’ve been running to catch back up and working through the grief that is part of being a human …
Getting to Know ‘A Million Miles with Kim’ Member, Kathleen
I am so excited about today’s blog. As I mentioned last week’s post, we are launching a new opportunity with ‘A Million Miles with Kim’ – interviews with members! When I created AMMWK last year, I wanted to create a community that didn’t feel the pressure of being obsessed with looking a certain way, but wanted to come together and …

I didn’t get the word out about my latest release like I would have hoped, but I know all of you have been filled with grace toward me and …
He Died on a Sunday
All week they’d said he could go at any moment. There wasn’t much time left. He would be taking his last breath… soon. But my incredibly intellectual, stubborn, always-in-control father held on. I wasn’t sure I would make it in time to see him, but I did. I wasn’t sure my son–Dad’s first grandchild–would get to see him, but he …
The Battle for Satisfaction
I don’t know about you, but the past few years have been a bit more difficult than most for me. (And I’m not just talking about COVID, even though that has been a huge factor.) The last few months have been chaos. From October through the end of December, I had three different, awful respiratory illnesses that knocked me off …
