Hello, I’m Stacy
A mother’s heart.
A storyteller’s soul.
I’m a mother of two children with special needs. My life revolves around my children, and their unique journeys inspired me to write.
Through the rewarding days and the challenging ones, writing has become a place of calm. These books are the lessons I’ve learned along the way, shared in the hope that you’ll find a little of your own story in mine.

We have learned many things on his journey such as the power of seeing him and not the diagnosis, letting him grow at his own pace, teaching him about the world, and most importantly, loving him for who he is. His journey has not been the…

Friendship
“Friendship is a relationship of mutual affection between people.” Friendship is so important on the special needs journey. Without friendships so many people end up feeling isolated and alone.
