  10. Adam C. Henderson – Indiana, USA – I am a forty-something husband and father of two girls (8 and 10 of this writing). I'm an Operations Manager by day, a fan of all things Colts, Hoosiers, Blackhawks, Cubs and Red Devils. Lately, I've been enjoying dark beers, white wines, physical fitness and the joy of abiding friendships. The last couple years have been tough, I am in a season of rediscovery, but out of this has emerged a great passion for road biking. I am renewed in my desire for self-discipline, mental fortitude, and personal accomplishment... while having fun! As I have written, I am most free when I am riding.

  12. Lynda – I moved from California to Alabama in 2008, and now raise chickens, geese and ducks for fun. Most days will find me gardening, quilting, reading a good book, or occasionally writing for fun. I am a Sabbath keeping Christian. I will not apologize for my freedom of religion, nor will I tell you're wrong if your own beliefs differ from mine. Our country was founded on that right. I'm not rich, nor privileged, or powerful. I am an underdog, one among many, who lately feels like barking. Sorry, but somebody needs to say it out loud, and I am open to your comments and thoughts.

    A morning such as this could induce me to brave the cold just to be in it. Thank you for this image.

  14. Rosalie Squires – 'Who am I?' is a question whose answer keeps evolving, that can be answered in many, many ways; that has no known answer at all. But there are some clues to be found: <a title="SSS" href="http://stocksharpsquires.wordpress.com/">stocksharpsquires.wordpress.</a>

  20. Gretchen Del Rio – Crestline, California, USA – I first discovered the magic of water based colors when many years ago I began to paint with procion dyes on silk. I loved the unexpected quality of the process. It was so exciting to never be sure what the colors and water would combine to produce. It seemed as though the medium had its own passion. Painting with watercolors and paper is much the same. I love the color combinations and separations that occur spontaneously as the color floats on the water. You can never totally predict what effect will result. If you try to control the medium too much, your painting will be very tight losing its aliveness. The artist must be bold and decisive or the work will not be clear and fresh. It is really like a dance. It becomes a controlled folly in knowing when to let go and when to take charge of the direction that the painting is taking. The images that I paint reflect my emotions and are expression of my life experience. They are not extensively planned, but rather evolve as the painting progresses. I am always surprised by the end result since it comes into being because of what the medium and emotion has suggested. The paintings are from my heart and I always fall in love with the subject. I believe that we are all connected and, if an image touches you, it is because we all have the same heart even though our paths may be different. Most of all, painting what I paint makes me happy. The paintings are my own path unfolding. They are an opening door for me and contain my own passion for life.

  44. hobgoblin2011 – WNY – In 2012 I was 370 lbs, dealing with severe spinal injuries and miserable in every aspect of the word. Through hard work, dedication and the installation of self-belief, I changed everything about myself. It took 5 years to become the person I am today and I want to share everything I’ve learned during my transformation. Transformations aren’t solely about weight loss. I’ve learned that to truly transform you must change in many more ways than that. I hope to provide useful tips, information and motivation/inspiration to anyone who needs to make a Change themselves.
