"Reading newspapers, magazines and blogs on my kindle allows me to step away from the computer and curl up on the sofa with a cozy blank and cup of tea, sit in a coffee shop or sit in the park for afternoon lunch. I love it!" - stephey

- Inspirational + Creative + Insightful! A MUST READ!

Marked by the Muse is a thoughtful and inspiring blog. I look forward to reading a new post every few weeks as they are ALWAYS uplifting, creative and extremely insightful. Stephey Baker has a way with words! I often feel like I am reading something from my journal or thoughts in my own head! To be able to read them though, the way she puts them together has allowed me to express what I feel but have been unable to until reading her writing. I've often heard the same said regarding music but for me it's her writing! To say the blog is inspiring does not do it justice and what I love is that it's not only inspiring but supportive as well - always giving me something to take away and apply to my own life as an artist and mom. Her writing is extremely motivational and uplifting always giving me a sense of I CAN DO attitude and that is so refreshing! I look forward to reading more and enjoy making this part of my weekly routine. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys being inspired and is creative - even if you think you're not creative but have always wanted to do something creative - read this and you'll find the motivation and the encouragement needed. Can't say enough good things about this blog! love it!

I believe every Artist has the power within to heal themselves from the shadows of the starving artist syndrome and live a recovered life - as a Thriving Artist.
I feel doing my best to provide this support is part of my soul's purpose and so serve wholeheartedly to those ready to receive. Please know that many unpaid hours (more than is imaginable) are given in service to you and this blog. Also, the hundreds of dollars it costs a year, in hosting fees, domain registration, image hosting and web developing services, to make this blog live is 100% supported by me and my family.
Though I feel passionate about providing support and making connections to other Artists desiring to live their fullest potential, I am mindful that my actions aren't in vain. Like most people, I want to know that what I'm doing matters, is making a difference in your life. No matter how small or large that difference is I hope it is for the best, that your spirit feels uplifted and its light shines brighter because of spending time here, that's all the payment I need.

You can also write me with questions and make suggestions for topics you'd like to hear more about (I'll write & dedicate a post just for you) or blog about a favorite passage you read on the blog and link back to it's page, write a hello on alexa and help bring the support to more people or simply give a shout out below!
However, you choose to show your support, makes a difference to me, makes my heart sing and I cherish every form of kindness. I thank you in advance for taking a few moments out to take action and invite you to reach out. I respond to every email and comment I receive, on the blog, twitter or facebook. If you've written and I haven't responded in over a week, please contact me again, your email may not have made it into my inbox - sometimes that happens.
Here's to an inspiring day!
All my Best,
Stephey

Big Huge thanks to the beautiful souls below
Maggie Franz of The Bees Knees wrote an inspiring post about claiming her Artistic spirit. Thank you Maggie for sharing your tender words.
"I internalized this sentence “I am an artist” and as it sunk in, tears welled in my eyes. I’m not some sap that just cries at the drop of a hat, but I have been struggling with what and who I am a lot lately." Visit to learn of a happy ending.
Jenny Petricek of The Starting Over Studio shared a valuable ah-ha moment. Thank you Jenn for adding your valuable voice to this worthy conversation.
"...Stephey's been discussing the idea of how we determine our true identities. In her eloquent wisdom, she contends that the process of finding out who we really are isn't a matter of searching for or adding new characteristics from outside ourselves, but that it's instead a task of subtraction, of finding out who we aren't, by identifying what doesn't fit or isn't working in our lives, and learning to let it go." Visit Jenn to be uplifted by her ah-ha!
