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.

Refueled


Refueled
“Wind beneath My Wings”

Just when I thought that I had accomplished in the air that which
I took flight to accomplish…
Just when I thought it was time to land…
I hovered over the ground for landing…
But could not land to receive the fueling necessary for continuing…

I called to those on the ground and the air but no one came to my aid…
Just when I thought I was all out of fuel…
A wind blew strong, carrying me a little higher off the ground…
I was going in a direction that I didn’t want to go in…
and that was HIGHER…for I THOUGHT I was out of fuel…

But this larger unknown plane, connected to my right…
A second larger plane, connected to my left…
And between the harder stronger winds and the two planes...
I went higher than I ever thought I would…
And I flew longer than I thought I could…

Just when I thought it was time to land...
God showed up as the wind beneath my wings...
Encamping Angels all around me...
Refueling me for an even greater mission...
Lifting me higher than I’ve ever gone before...

Now I am set to soar for eternity...
For the Master lives inside of me...
Lord, I thank you for your grace...
But Lord, PLEASE continue to have mercy.
Amen

And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you.  Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.
