Families with Grace’s Little Blessings Challenge

By Stacey on Monday, April 8, 2019

One of my son’s recent favorite songs is Rend Collective’s “Counting Every Blessing.” It’s a good song that talks about counting every blessing from God even when we cannot see. Last fall, we were on our way home from my uncle’s funeral and my son requested this song in the car. We had an hour …

Anxiety, depression and spring break

By Stacey on Friday, March 15, 2019

A recent spring break trip sent me home with a souvenir of lessons about my anxiety and depression A few months ago, I made my first video for my Facebook page about my struggle with anxiety and depression.

By Stacey on Monday, February 4, 2019

Last week I was in my son’s kindergarten classroom at the end of the day to bring in cookies to celebrate his birthday with his classmates. He’s my second kiddo in this kindergarten class, so I’ve been in and out of it quite a few times. But last week I heard something I hadn’t heard …

Now is the time to live out your passion!

By Stacey on Friday, February 1, 2019

When I share my story about my life and career path, I almost always share the first time I remember falling in love with writing. I was in third grade in Mrs. Beach’s class. I wrote a story for fun about how a cow got loose in my suburban neighborhood. And thus set in motion …

Don’t live life in fear

By Stacey on Monday, January 14, 2019

How I’m learning to stop letting fear hold me back Since I was about 8 years old, my favorite Bible verse has been Isaiah 41:10: While I’ve grown to the love the entire verse for different reasons, the first part of that verse — “So not fear, for I am with you” — has always …

What a dog taught me about anxiety

By Stacey on Friday, January 11, 2019

Last weekend, my husband went out of town with his parents for a funeral. Since the kiddos and I were staying home, we kept my in-laws’ dog while they were away. Their dog was a littermate of our beloved dog who passed away from cancer in 2016. I always love having a furry friend around. …

Happy World Introvert Day!

By Stacey on Wednesday, January 2, 2019

Today is World Introvert Day! Usually at least one or two of my friends will share this information with me each January 2, because it’s no secret that I’m an introvert. I’d guess most of us introverts are excited to celebrate today individually in our own homes. (Ha!) While information about introverts abounds way more …

Looking back to look forward

By Stacey on Friday, December 28, 2018

What I learned in 2018 and what I’m looking forward to in 2019 In just a couple of days, 2018 will be history and we will be in 2019. I’m looking forward to the new year. 2018 was far from perfect and had its fair share of hurts and disappointments, but it also held some …
