About Me

Hi, I’m Stacie J. Whitaker-Harris—a published author, certified recovery and peer support specialist, mindfulness coach, and artist. My journey has been shaped by over 20 years of writing, storytelling, and community advocacy. From publishing essays and poems as a middle schooler to contributing to university newspapers and appearing in local news, writing has always been my passion.

As a woman of faith with a Master’s in Law (business focus) and a Bachelor’s in Nonprofit Management, I am committed to empowering others through my words, art, and coaching. In 2020, I discovered my love for painting, which began as a form of therapy and blossomed into a creative outlet, with many pieces sold and displayed in local contests. My work reflects a dedication to healing, growth, and honoring the God-given potential in all of us.

What Is *Embracing Me*?

Embracing Me is more than a blog—it's a journey of self-discovery, healing, and honoring the divine within. Here, I share my life experiences—good, bad, and transformative—to inspire and uplift. I spent years hiding my gifts and stories out of fear. But through faith, I’ve chosen to embrace who I am and share my God-given talents with the world.

From essays and poetry to coaching and peer support, my mission is to guide you toward wholeness and inspire you to live fully and freely in harmony with your mind, body, and spirit.

Join the Journey

Whether you’re looking for inspiration, seeking coaching, or simply curious about my books and art, I invite you to explore and connect. Let’s walk this path together toward healing, restoration, and empowerment.

How Much Different the World Would Be...

"How Much Different the World Would Be..."

If we treat our neighbor as we treat ourselves...The question is, "Do we know how to treat ourselves"?

"Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters. Don't forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it! Remember those in prison, as if you were there yourself.  Remember also those being mistreated, as if you felt their pain in you own bodies".  - Hebrews 13:1-3

"To Embrace Me" isn't just another thing to say.  For me it is a very real thing to DO!  There are no surprises as to why I am who I am or why I do what I do...at least the illusions are over for me.  I understand me more today than I ever have because I decided to embrace myself and in doing so I had to first learn who I was.  I AM that I AM because the Father says I am.  Therefore, I am capable of loving, giving, caring and showing compassion because I adhere to the principles stated in Hebrews 13:1-3.

I encourage you today to stop thinking so much of self and consider the afflictions of another.  Help someone without waiting, wanting or desiring a return but do it from your heart, in love the way you would desire someone to assist you in your darkest days!

Blessings abound in abundance for your obedience on today!
