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.

He Shall Sustain You - Psalm 55:22

He Shall Sustain You
By Stacie J. Whitaker-Harris
Weird thoughts running through my mind
Chills run the length of my spine
Whispers run softly through my ears
“Sit still, you’ll be fine. On me you are to cast your fears”
Still I consider the weather changing as the storms in my life are raging
I see the sky turn grey, my life is in disarray
I hear the thunder roar
Behind these walls is so much noise
Yet I feel a gentle touch
Warmly reminding me to keep my poise
That same touch grabs my heart
Caressing it back to a pleasant place
One I thought had been replaced
I see now these times last but for a moment
Though it feels like a lifetime
So once again I release my doubts, fears and worries
Believing God truly does carry
Carry all of the burdens
For He is my strong tower
In Him is life and magnificent power
Power to calm the sea, to stop the thunder, to turn grey skies blue
He has the power to do what HE wants to.
In Him is my resting place

Psalm 55:22
Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you;
He shall never permit the righteous to be moved
