COVID-19 / Day 62

May 15, 2020 ~ Candice Baker ~ Leave a comment

Two months! Two months since the world changed.  Two months?!  How is this still happening?  How are we all moving into the next chapter, if we never finished the last chapter? Life goes on.  The world does keep spinning.  It’s somehow different now.   Weddings are different.  I’ve a friend who got married during this.  It … Continue reading COVID-19 / Day 62

COVID-19 / Day 26

April 9, 2020 ~ Candice Baker ~ Leave a comment

Well, it's been almost a month.  It's hard to believe.  Like, I still have a hard time wrapping my brain around the fact that we're in quarantine for a global pandemic.  I mean, WHAT THE HECK?!?! One month ago, my oldest, youngest and me went into tech for our shows.  (For you non-theatre geeks, "Tech" is … Continue reading COVID-19 / Day 26

COVID-19 / Day 19

April 3, 2020 ~ Candice Baker ~ Leave a comment

Y'all...I'm gonna take a break from my usual stuff (though I'm pretty sure no one reads my stuff anyway) and old school journal.  This is, in part, how I will process. Nothing fancy, just me and my stream of consciousness.   Today is day 19 for us.  Where we live schools closed on March 13 with … Continue reading COVID-19 / Day 19

Did You Know…Perspective is Everything?

January 2, 2020January 2, 2020 ~ Candice Baker ~ Leave a comment

One of my favorite books, movies, and plays is To Kill A Mockingbird.  I’ve read the book several times, seen the movie countless times, and have had the honor of playing Jean Louise, not once but twice.  If you’ve not read it, do yourself a favor and read it. If you’re not a big reader, then … Continue reading Did You Know…Perspective is Everything?

Did You Know…God’s Timing Is Perfect?

December 28, 2018 ~ Candice Baker ~ Leave a comment

As I’m contemplating my focus word for 2019, I’m reminded of how I got my focus word for this year.  2018, was the first year I ever did this. So, without further adieu, my story from last year… My friend Bond Girl,  challenged me to find a word of focus for the new year, last … Continue reading Did You Know…God’s Timing Is Perfect?

Did you know that…Boundaries are good?!

August 23, 2018 ~ Candice Baker ~ 1 Comment

NOTE: Sorry about my 3 month break.  It’s been a crazy summer. Thanks for understanding. Setting personal boundaries is a kin to the boundaries and borders of a country. To get in to a foreign country, certain procedures need to happen. You don't determine what those are, each country determines for itself. Think of yourself in … Continue reading Did you know that…Boundaries are good?!

Masterpiece = Work-In-Progress

May 14, 2018May 15, 2018 ~ Candice Baker ~ Leave a comment

  In a society that tends to go to either extreme when talking about bodies, I want you to know that the vessel you are contained in does not define all of who you are. In the spectrum between body shame and praising curves there is the beautiful middle where most of us live. We … Continue reading Masterpiece = Work-In-Progress

Point Of No Return 2

April 28, 2018 ~ Candice Baker ~ Leave a comment

“I've been a quitter my whole life,” to quote an amazing woman I know. (LOL, I’m quoting myself. It’s from my last post, in case you missed it.) I don’t think anyone can really be called a quitter. You can quit certain things, or have a pattern of quitting on certain things (namely the areas … Continue reading Point Of No Return 2

Past the Point of No Return

February 20, 2018 ~ Candice Baker ~ Leave a comment

I've been a quitter my whole life. As a kid I took French for two weeks; ballet for a month; tennis for a season; gymnastics for three days. I tried everything. Just not for long. If I didn't want to finish, no one ever made me. If I wanted to quit, it was ok. Part … Continue reading Past the Point of No Return

…Did you know?!

February 8, 2018 ~ Candice Baker ~ Leave a comment

Have y’all seen those videos about the glasses that help those who have Color Blindness see color? They get me every time. I mean, I get choked up, nearly to the point of tears. (Spoiler: I’m NOT colorblind). In fact, I only know one person that is colorblind. (Hi, TT!) (Well, I may know more, … Continue reading …Did you know?!

Trivia/Word/Verse

No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
