Welcome to Black Eyed Stories! I’m so glad you’re here. There’s so much for us to talk about. Come in and get settled!

Tell me how things are in your corner of this beautiful earth.

And please, call me Marcie.

Here’s a little about me: I am an introvert, feeler, stargazer, gen-xer, tea-drinker, reality tv nerd, morning person, and proud but humble Leo who lives with two Aries. I’m a writer who reads a lot. My favorite book of all time is The Joy of Cooking (it counts because cookbooks are books). This newsletter is my favorite place to share what I do because you’re here too! 

I launched Black Eyed Stories in 2021 in hopes of creating a deeper, more authentic community than is possible on my Instagram feed and, my gosh, has this community delivered realness, authenticity, joy, vulnerability, light, reassurance and encouragement. This community makes me believe we’re all gonna make it! 

Tell me what you’re hoping for here in these pages. Then tell me your hopes and dreams for this life we’re all spinning around in. What’s heavy on your mind these days? What’s giving you a sense of calm? But what I really wanna know is: what are you currently reading? What show did you just binge? What movies are you loving? Tell me what’s keeping you alive. 

I’m so grateful you decided to pop in. I hope you stay awhile. I’d love for us to get to know one another better. 

And thanks to all of you who’ve been a part of this community. I’m immensely pleased to know you. I’m so lucky to have your encouragement and support. None of this is ever lost on me. 

Much Peace,
Marcie
