Welcome to Homecoming

Here you’ll find my story of transformation—

the messy, beautiful process of becoming whole.

 

Poetry and prose from a life rebuilt,

from the fires that consumed me

and the self-love that changed me.

​

The waves remind me that everything changes,

and somehow, so do we.

Life in Motion

Hello!

 

I’m Katherine — a writer, leader, and storyteller from Ketchikan, Alaska.

 

I’ve lived through loss, rebuilding, and renewal.  I’ve learned that transformation isn’t a single moment — it’s a lifelong practice.

 

This space is where I share the lessons, poetry, and reflections that emerged from that journey.

 

It’s not about what happened — it’s about what we create from it, and who we become in the process.

 

Welcome to my corner of the internet. I’m glad you’re here

With Love ~ Katherine

“To be human is to carry light and shadow,

love and fear, and still choose to create

who we want to be.”

This is where the story unfolds.

Not in a straight line, but in fragments, in fires, in healing, and hope. 

The Fire — Aftermath of grief and exploded love.

The Fog — Numbness, confusion​, grief

The Creation — Rebuilding from the inside out. â€‹

Homecoming — Returning to the woman I have always been. 

Legacy — Carrying forward what matters​

The Next Chapter — Living, loving, dreaming— excited for what is next.

Tools + Truths — insights for the journey

Or Simply

Each piece stands alone. You don’t have to read in order—just begin where your heart lands.

"Strength isn't found in certainty,

but in the way we move through chaos and still rise."
