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.

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.

Unbound: I am a force

A Poetic Revelation from the Carved Spirit Within

Written by Stacie J Whitaker-Harris
4/15/2025


There are moments in our journey where Spirit speaks not in whispers but in echoes that rumble through our bones. This poem came to me days after a dream where I stood surrounded by trees, staring at a sacred carving—an eagle, a bear, and a tiger, layered in wisdom and power. I didn’t know then what message awaited me, but now, I do: I am the carving. I am the force. And I am unbound.

I am a force of nature.
A reckoning.

Tides high, I roll with the shift of each cascading wave.

I rise like the suns rays while gazing at the moon. Two lights, one purpose, to pave the way for all to see.

I am a force that fuels embers, sparks flames, and sets ablaze.

Igniting all on the pathway, building bridges of curiosity, and I paint the stage red, yellow, no blue, because my fire is the inferno that forges newness.

I am the destroyer and creator.
The terror and the peace.

I am the blackest night untold, holding scores of stars in the palm of my left hand and pouring millions of grains of sand with my right.

I am the weight weighing heavy on justices' scales, tipping over the tables of injustices because I am a force of nature.

I am unbound by time.
No chains on this mind.
I prevail.

I am a force, the source of freedom.
All doors open.
Blissfully welcoming opportunities to soar with eagles.

I am unbound.
