Despair.

Do you ever have a day, or a week, or a season in your life where despair is all you feel? The last few days, I have to admit, that’s the only word that floats to the surface. I’ve been riding some various-sized waves since my separation began last summer. I know for certain thatContinue reading “Despair.”

Thoughts on How to Grieve

Friends, Can we talk? I’ve gotten some criticism recently, that I’m grieving improperly. That I may be sharing (or exploiting) my separation & divorce to gain some social media momentum. This criticism also said that grief is a quiet journey, not to be made public. I would like to publicly respond to this, as IContinue reading “Thoughts on How to Grieve”

My word for 2023

2022 was one of the hardest years of my life.  Choosing to end my marriage and move towards divorce was an excruciating decision. The pain that followed was deep and vast. There were days I laid on my office floor and cried. Days where the pain & grief felt almost too much to bear.  ButContinue reading “My word for 2023”

A blessing for when everything hurts at Christmas.

I’ve been taking lots of social media breaks for my self care lately. I think we all crave genuine connection, and sometimes social media only makes us feel isolated, especially during difficult times. This blessing has been on my heart to share for a little while.

Grieve Forward.

There’s no one way to grieve.  There’s no one way to walk through a separation or divorce. I’ve had to feel my way through this fog as best I can, not really knowing what I’m doing. But I’m trying to listen… listen hard. Because there are deep soul things to learn, buried in this fogContinue reading “Grieve Forward.”

And it’sContinue reading “The Season for Grief”

Still Stace, one year later!

“Still Stace” published one year ago today, Oct 19th, 2021. Happy Book Birthday, to you!   What a year. I have to say, the biggest surprise for me this year has been what many Beloved Queer Folx want to talk about. After reading my book, we’ve chatted on Zoom, on walks, on emails about this newfoundContinue reading “Still Stace, one year later!”

Hard Things.

Lately I’ve stepped away from social media, and had to put my phone away more than normal (both things that are good to do from time to time anyway!). I’m going through some very Hard Things in my personal life right now. I’m not in a place yet to talk about it, either in desireContinue reading “Hard Things.”

STILL STACE AUDIOBOOK – out today!

Today’s the day! STILL STACE releases into the world as an audiobook, using my own voice. This is really scary, exciting and honestly vulnerable for me. Probably, the most vulnerable thing I have ever done – put my own voice to my own story. I hope my heart comes through, I really do. **The publisherContinue reading “STILL STACE AUDIOBOOK – out today!”
