Divalicious Candi (a.k.a. Candice Ann Moraga) releases "I'm Like a Bird" video to celebrate the hatching of 4 baby robins at the Sanctuary!

"I'm Like a Bird" is dedicated to my newly hatched baby robins here at the sanctuary! You can also read the lyrics, stream the track & watch the video on my official website at DivaliciousCandi.com/im-like-a-bird

I checked on them day & night as the mama was regulating the eggs' temperatures during frost warnings with her own loving body heat- today, both mama & papa robins are hunting nonstop in the yard for food; I learned that robin daddies are HIGHLY involved in providing for their families, and also in the care of teaching of survival skills to their babies! I expect to see the babies shadowing their father in the yard as they learn to hunt from him as soon as they are able to leave the nest! Once they get their eyes open, they begin intense "wing flapping" drills to build their pectoralis muscles as the approach of their "flight training" begins! Luckily (for them- not me- as I'm the one in charge of all the hedge trimming during the growing season, haha), I have LOTS of hedges for the babies to hide out in as their first attempts at flight are often quite wobbly, but unfortunately the kitties of the neighborhood often like to lurk in the hedges just waiting on them, soooo- I have been popping up at the edges of my yard to "head them off at the pass" with treats to stuff them into enough of a lazy "comfort zone" that they'll return from whereever they came to go into full on "slumber mode." Cats do most of their hunting at dawn and dusk when they have a vision advantage over their prey. I have to admit if I forget my glasses... I'm often not sure if I'm seeing a rabbit, possum, or kitty unless I'm paying attention to the movement patterns, but luckily I've got experience on my side and if anything, I've noticed that sharp vision actually keeps you paying attention to things which usually don't matter, but when your eyesight isn't as good, you become much better at paying attention to the things which really DO- your listening abilities improve, you notice behavior patterns better, you rely more on your intelligence & wisdom gained from previous experience, and most importantly, you don't dismiss your "gut instincts" which I believe are your most reliable danger detection systems. Understanding that your gut bacteria was probably amongst the earliest form of life on Planet Earth & that they are literally understanding what's going on with your body on a level much deeper than you could ever be consciously aware of, it behooves you to listen very carefully to what your guts are trying to tell you at all times. Luckily, I know these baby robins operate very heavily on instinct, as I watch their little beaks opening and closing & pray that God will watch over them, as He does for me. Amen!

also wanted to show off my newest bird feeder & the brand new flag that I hung up this week!

Hope you enjoy all my photos of flowers & butterflies I included in the video! XOXO- Candi

"So Good" (a cappella)" - Divalicious Candi (a.k.a. Candice Ann Moraga)

"So Good" is a little something special for my haterz!😘

Happy Mother's Day to my Mombear❣️

Don't be fooled by the "church lady" aesthetic, lmao... This is the woman who brought me into the world on a military base overseas; she had her NRA card a full decade before she got a driver's license, had her Top Secret clearance before I was born, was off working on the F-22 project when she wasn't driving me to my church choir rehearsals, and I eventually moved closer to the Pentagon just so I could get in some face time with her (eh, before the app was invented we did actual IN PERSON "face time") - do I know what she was doing in Washington, D.C. all those years? Heck no, and if I did she'd have to kill me! #baddies #mothersday #church #diva #HolySmokes

I made the 📽️video🎞️ for "Right to 💭Dream" about a 🐂Texas 👰🏻‍♀️housewife💍 (the ensnared 🐰rabbit) who gets tired of her 🎤dreams🎵 being belittled & her 🌟worth👑 diminished🙄 so she ⛓️‍💥sets out like the 👙Foxy Lady👠 she was meant to be- too 🧠clever to be ⛓️caught- 🛩️traveling🏕️ across the 🏜️country, 🎙️singing, 🪩dancing, 📸modeling🏍️ & having 🚂various 🪂adventures🎪 before she finally settles on a 🏡sanctuary🌲 in New York🗽, where she 💝befriends her like-minded tribe of 🐾foxes. (dedicated to the baby 🦊fox kit we lost at the Sanctuary last month- R.I.P. little 😇angel❣️) ...characters in the story may resemble a certain hyper-mobile diva😘

In the last week I've soared across the skies of New York City amidst sparkling lights, cruised a beast of a 4WD pickup truck across Texas, gorged on smoked brisket with my bestie of 30+ years, sang my heart out in church while surrounded by family, & visited my Dad's grave with my brother to finally forgive him for the years of abuse we endured IN PERSON... I feel lighter, bolder & braver than ever... I guess you could say I'm FEELIN' GOOD!

Divalicious Candi (a.k.a. Candice Ann Moraga) sings "Honey" a cappella!

Thought I'd post an a cappella version of "Honey" with zero microphone or effects because I think people are at the point where they forgot what a real voice actually sounds like (as opposed to robotic AI) - some artists are actually the REAL DEAL & unafraid to sing anytime, anyplace, with no sound engineer or autotune! "I can't be 📲elusive💣 with you, 🍯honey, because it's 😍blatant that I'm wanting ❤️‍🔥you... you're the only one who makes me 🎇come 👠runnin', 'cause you're the only 🍆thing I wanna do... & it's just like 👅honey, ya... when your love 🧨comes💥 over me... ooh, baby I got a 🍫dependency, always 🐾strung🧶 out for another 😋taste of your honey... it's like 🤤honey when it's 🌊washes💦 over me, you know, 🍬sugar never, ever was so 🧁sweet & I'm 😝cryin' for ya, 💘dyin' for ya, I 😻adore ya... 1 hit🔫 of your love🎯 addicted me, now I'm 🤪strung out for your honey🍭, can't you see?
