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.

Recycling Dirt

After sharing the first ten chapters of my twenty chapter memoir, "Hell & Heaven at 8", I decided to take a brief intermission in order to share a few things pressing in my spirit before presenting the last twenty chapters. 

Today I would like to share my thoughts about recycling dirt.

She mistreats him because she was mistreated by a different him and that him mistreated her because he was abused by an older him AND a her. The older him and her abused him because they were neglected and therefore left vulnerable for the ravaging wolves to take advantage of them. The wolves took advantage of vulnerable him and her because of how he was raised, seeing everyone else as "beneath himself".

Society continues to suffer from generations of recycled dirt. Psychological hiccups, so to speak. We, as a nation, as a world, as humans, need healing from years of abuse. We need repair from damaged thinking. We need cultural understanding. Most importantly, we need to acknowledge the recycled dirt in order to begin the tough process of acceptance of the filth that has perpetuated this horrid cycle.

Due to the layers upon layers of crap created, cleansing will take time. For a moment, it may appear that our world as we know it has collapsed. Rebuilding from a clean place may sound impossible, but it's necessary.
