Katrina Larson Writer

Can I tell you a cool story of God working before this book is officially “published”? A few weeks ago, I made a reel sharing about my book. A friend reposted it on her page, and one of her followers saw it who had recently lost her mom. Turns out she was a fellow mom at my church that I had not met yet. Friends from church put together a gift basket for her and asked that I put one of the early copies in for her. She dm’d me and sent a picture of my book with her handwritten notes in the pages.
Later that week we met up at the park so I could give her more copies for her sister and her daughter’s teacher.
My dream has been for many years to write a life-changing book, I just didn’t realize that God would use it to change my life first.
I hope to see this book put into many more gift baskets for grieving people❤️❤️

Life update: we recently moved to the Raleigh area in North Carolina! This has been at times heartbreaking, exhilarating, and bittersweet. Being a writer I feel like I should be able to put into words a huge transition like this, but I’m stumped. Jesse returned from paternity leave to an offer from his work to relocate and we’ve been processing that ever since. The flight over went fairly smooth, we had to reschedule due to snow. Lukas enjoyed making snowballs outside of our new apartment and Henry decided it was time to start pushing himself backwards and getting stuck underneath furniture. For now, we’re living in an apartment until our Oregon house sells and we find a home we like in NC. Yesterday I went for a walk by a new lake by myself. It was sunny and 70 degrees. It’s funny how being “alone” in a new place made me feel less alone because lakes and walks make me feel more like myself. We have invitation for dinner this weekend and we checked out a new church last Sunday. Slowly but surely a new chapter begins, even as we grieve the one we said goodbye too❤️❤️

Merry Christmas from the Larsons! We are enjoying a sunny San Diego Christmas this year with Jesse’s family. Merry wishes and “Happy baby Jesus” as Lukas would say to you and your family.

I’m feeling ✨32✨today. Chasing after a toddler while 25 weeks pregnant is very different from a decade ago😂 had a quick overnight trip to Bend with my sister this last weekend and it’s crazy how much our kids look like is 28 years ago. Here’s to another year of writing, mothering, and eating cheesecake (my favorite dessert).
