It’s OK to let go and ask for help!

By Stacey on Monday, April 22, 2019

Asking for help is hard. It goes against our human pride and desire to be independent and strong. We don’t want to ever admit that we can’t do it all or are weak. We like to take the weight of the world on our shoulders and plaster on a smile as we stumble around under …

What physical therapy taught me about the determination of moms

By Stacey on Friday, April 12, 2019

About a month ago, I shared with you about my experiences with anxiety and depression on spring break. One of the things I mentioned in that post was seeing a new doctor for my fibromyalgia who prescribed physical therapy for me, including aquatic therapy. While I’ve done physical therapy many times throughout my adult life …

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 …

Affirmations from kindergarten that we all need to hear

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. …
