  3. maryoconnor12 – Along the Connecticut shoreline – I am a writer, poet, community volunteer, pupil of psychology, writing instructor, guest speaker, artist, lover of nature, curious traveler and author of Life Is Full of Sweet Spots, An Exploration of Joy, as well as Dreams of a Wingless Child, a book of award-winning poetry. An advocate of the power of writing as an agent of change, I enjoy speaking to community groups about the joy of making words sing and conduct creative poetry writing workshops for inmates at the State of Connecticut’s York Correctional Institution. As a writer and a painter, I enjoy living along the Connecticut shore, where I infuse everyday observations of the natural world with the sensitivity and insightfulness that tend to define my experience of life. It is these reflections that have helped me realize that one need not look far to find an element of peace, of celebration, of joy, in this inordinate world of which we are all a part.

  4. 67merrill – Taos, NM – Check out my new YouTube short videos at: https://www.youtube.com/@LJM-67chs You can find the links to purchasing my books on Amazon on the Community page of the Youtube channel. Help me grow the channel by subscribing and liking and sharing! I am a long-time artist and more recent writer. I've published three books—Secret Voices from the Forest: Thoughts and Dreams of North American Trees, with work begun on the fourth. Not just the physicality of them, but their views on life and their place in the world. Yes, I actually talk to the trees. Not as nutty as you may think, and I say that as a Mid-westerner. Non-confrontational environmentalist. Exploring the world of aging, hopefully gracefully. Came to live near Taos, NM, USA in 1997, where I built an off-grid straw bale house at least partially by myself. Not so great at laying slab or putting on roofs. At the moment, there are 2 cats here with me. I don't let them out, cause they eat everything that won't eat them first, and it's just too brutal. I'm a cusp (Taurus/Gemini) and truly am of two minds about whether we're going to make it much longer as a species. So I try to stay positive about the news, although it's getting more difficult all the time. One bright spot is the messages from the trees, which are unfailingly zen. They are great teachers, and do keep me from going the depression route, cause I don't believe anger/blame/futility from me is going to make the world a better place.

  5. Evelyn the Blogger – 33710 – About me: A jack of all trades or a Renaissance Woman? I think a bit of both. I love art, photography, beautiful sunsets, homes, and landscapes. I enjoy bird watching, and long walk near the lake or the beach. A bit of a loner in my older years; poetry is my home, my confidant and my best friend. But I also love music, painting and beautiful gardens and homes with beautiful gardens, and Labrador or Shepherd dogs. I once lived in a beautiful farm in a tiny township in a tiny island filled with gold or the memory of it and I love and dream of anything with the word home and richness in it! That’s me in a nutshell Welcome to my page! Find my books "Poems From A Gypsy Soul" and "Believing in Love at First Sight" online, Kindle, Amazon, Barnes & Noble!! & Lulu.com, among other bookstores and online sites. (Print on demand) My first book signing was on 04/04/2019 at 7:30 pm at Wine Madonna with Breakingrulespublishing. *The books signing was a very special occasion to me. Thanks for everyone who assisted, who called or messages and special thanks to everyone that got my book with them, either in person, at the quaint beautiful event and online as usual! Thanks!

  10. Magical Moments – Photomedhorse blog is all about photography. I want to include my passion for photography and interest in nature while producing content for this blog and channel. I am not a professional photographer but, I want to show scenic views in my view and help you enjoy the moments which bring joy to my life. My photographic interests are nature, birds, attractive flowers, and cute animals. Nevertheless, it is always my pleasure to capture sunrise and sunset, and activities happen during that timeframe. Life is a journey; it takes courage and intention to take a hobby and raise up to a professional level. Special thanks to bloggers who follow my blog and encourages me to raise up to a greater level than I deserve. Please come along and join my journey.

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.
