  1. Aggie – Southern Arizona, USA – Life is an excellent adventure! My husband, Lou, and I have built an off grid homestead, including rainwater collection, solar power, and passive solar earthbag tiny home. I do bookkeeping, and we also make and market BathyDerm, an herbal bath tincture that is good for the skin and fades age spots.

        No need to reply. I never say much, but I can’t find a like button, and I want you to know you are appreciated.

  10. Cynthia Guenther Richardson – Pacific NW – Hello fellow readers and bloggers, Writing has always been a powerful connector to diverse ideas and people. We each are a meaningful part of this beautiful, ever-widening web of life. Blogging enables more interaction, which I love even after 11 years of blogging posts on three different sites. For thirty years I was an addictions/mental health counselor and also a manager of home care services for elderly folks. Now that I have hit 70 and am more devoted to a creative life! I've published online or in literary journals/collections several times, including fiction and creative non-fiction pieces and poetry over five decades. Additionally, I was nominated for a Pushcart Prize for an excerpt of my novel-in-progress, Other than Words (the work gathering dust at present), about a mute dancer and her impact on her adopted community and a world-travelling photojournalist. I also am working on a connected set of stories about a close-knit town in northern Michigan. On Wordpress I enjoy writing about living richly despite (or because of) life's setbacks and a diagnosis of heart disease at age 51. Posts tagged "memoir" share spiritual adventures, interactions with nature, the healing of trauma's impact and challenges of writing full-time. Short stories and creative nonfiction, and poetry are favorite genres but I enjoy sharing my photography as well My hope is my offerings reflect a profound faith in God and our humanness which cloaks spiritual natures. I include myself as part of the diverse group of writers who discover and share the illuminating, positive experiences amid life's uncertainties and hardships. Let me hear from you when you visit--I appreciate your comments a great deal. Blessings and regards, Cynthia

    1. Oh! Thanks Cynthia. Don’t stop waiting. I’m working on cards and prints first. There should be an update to the blog in a month or so.

        Great. Please let me (us) know where I can purchase cards and prints. I am still wanting to use some of your photos for story prompts on my blog but you do such lovely work with your spare poems I haven’t been able to bring myself to it yet. Just hate to take away from your creative work, even though I would of course attribute to you. (And I have a novel to shop around, myself.)

  11. highland hind – Scotland – At an age when I should have known better, I took a gamble. I sold my home, discarded most of my possessions and started to live a nomadic existence: travelling, housesitting, learning new skills and living as cheaply as possible. Walking and writing become my daily focus. I took five weeks to walk the pilgrimage that is the Camino de Santiago; I camped and climbed in the Scottish hills, trecked across wild New Zealand, wrote several short stories and completed a novel. My "time out" is over - for now - but it has changed my perspective and focus. And while time for blogging time is severely reduced I still intend to share my adventures on the road and in the hills.

  15. Pink Saucer – Always loved exploring different mediums of art. While the journey started out with sketching, I have been pleasantly surprised by pastels along the way. You will also find watercolors, acrylics and occasionally oils here. All art is original, some inspired by gorgeous photographs taken in familiar settings. Other things that I am drawn to include moleskin notebooks, arboretum, my android camera, silkscreen printing, blogging, adventure and so on. © Copyrights APPLY for all artworks (Please request permission for use) Instagram: divyaadusumilli

  16. phantomvogel3 – California USA – A snap happy fool on meager means. If you enjoy the world through my lens then follow me. If I can evoke a feeling within a frozen moment I'd imagine that's an image well done!

  24. Rene Yoshi – Just a transplanted Okinawan-French Southern girl with a wee bit o' Irish, sharing photography and what I'm learning about spiritual things, including putting off legalism and religious traditions, and embracing God's matchless love, tender mercy, and amazing grace!

    Beautiful! I love all the lines, textures, tones and movement. It really is like a symphony, isn’t it?

  27. Dr. Denny Wilkins – Dr. Denny Wilkins professes journalism at a small, private university in the Northeast. He has climbed, hiked, kayaked, photographed, skied, and otherwise meandered aimlessly throughout the American West for decades. He has degrees in geology, environmental studies, and communication — and has tried to make use of them as a co-founder of the progressive cultural blog ScholarsandRogues.com. He’s broadly interested in how the world works and why it works that way. He hates writing, although he does like having written well.

    Ah … peaceful (but cold).
