Today we welcome Emily Stimpson Chapman, Catholic author, wife, and mother to three (three and under). Her quote comes from the letters of Flannery O’Connor:

"I suppose half the work of writing is overcoming the revulsion you feel when you sit down to it."

You can find Emily on Instagram (@emilystimpsonchapman), on Substack, and at TheCatholicTable.com.

Her book, Letters to Myself from the End of the World, is one of the best things I’ve read this year (or ever?). Grab your copy here.
