Hi, I’m Stacy and I’m glad you’re here!
Thank you for stopping by my home on the internet.
I’m a Christ follower, wife, mother, and Mimi. I love homemaking, thrifting, DIY projects, and inspiring others to create a life they love.
One of my favorite quotes by one of my favorite authors is this:
“We draw people to Christ not by loudly discrediting what they believe, by telling them how wrong they are and how right we are, but by showing them a light that is so lovely that they want with all their hearts to know the source of it.”
― Madeleine L’Engle,
For me, this is the essence of what Living Lovely is about.
Two Bible passages that guide how I live and write are:
“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
Philippians 4:4-8
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”
Colossians 2:23-24

More About Me
Eric and I have been happily married for 38 years, have three happily married children, and are Pawpaw and Mimi to one grandson. We love spending time with our family and taking road trips.
In 2013, we started a private counseling/coaching practice and enjoy working together. He’s a master’s level licensed clinical social worker and holds a master’s degree in biblical studies. He’s also a chaplain at our local hospital.
I have a bachelor’s degree from Samford University, a master’s and doctoral degree from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, and I’m a certified life coach.
A few years ago, I wrote a book about navigating life’s difficult seasons of marriage, parenting, homeschooling, ministry, family life, and grief to remind readers that God is near. It’s a testimony of God’s faithfulness through stories about life as a wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. These stories remind us that: We are not alone in feeling overwhelmed and discouraged. God is near to the brokenhearted and weary. The Bible is our spiritual compass to comfort and guide us through every season of life.
