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.

Peace...Against ALL Odds

Peace...Against ALL Odds
 
 
 WORDS OF POEM IN VIDEO ABOVE
I wanna rest in peace, seems I don't rest at night. I wanna rest in Your arms for the rest of my life. When troubles come I won't be alarmed, cause I'm resting safely in Your loving arms. When troubles come I want them to tremble and flee at the very sight of Your reflection in me.
 
I'm not trying to boast, I don't want to brag but You do leave me no choice but to walk in this swag.
I'm a S-sanctified W-witness an A-agent of G-GOD's. Standing against darkness against all odds!
 
I know that I'm loved because when troubles come my mind rest and my thoughts are at ease. Truthfully Father, its You I aim to please. But with loud sounds to disrupt my ear gates and winds blowing ferociously trying to blind me from seeing the truth and the light, I squench my eyes and put my mouth on guard that I only speak life as You stand contending against every distraction knowing with You, I win, against all odds!
 
See I, walked by myself for so long, lost in darkness couldn't acknowledge my wrong. But now, there's a new place where I've been found, cleanse, re-made and set free from an unruly and restless life. Your the bridegroom and yes I'm ya wife! Funny thing is Your captivated by ME! The one made beautifully in Your image and in return I'm in deep reverence. Why! Simply because Your God. I've found my peace in You, against all odds!

You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast,
because he trusts in you

Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid

And the peace of The God, Who is greater than every mind,

PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, thank you for granting me peace in the midst of a chaotic world.  Thank you for giving a peace beyond what Men and Women can comprehend.  Lord, I now pray for the one reading this site asking that you would move on their hearts.  Help them come to know you in such a way that peace overwhelms them and joy fills them to the overflow! In Christ name I pray, Amen
