  1. Sarena.W – New Zealand, Taiwan – I started this blog three years ago on December 11, 2011 and have been on and off regarding writing on it and publishing stuff. There was a huge gap between 2013 and this year 2014, and now I have decided to come back and devote my time and energy completely in doing it constantly again for a reason. I had an accident earlier that rendered me to receive a liver transplant, being O negative, there isn’t much to choose from – polls are 7% Caucasian and 1% Asian. (I’m mixed race so I don’t have any clue on which category I fit in) After a two month search for compatible livers, one of my classmates from the same uni whom I did not know donated his liver to me. The surgery was successful. Or rather, the process of the surgery was successful. After a week the doctors told me my body was rejecting the new liver (and it sure felt it was rejecting). And didn’t suggest to receive another transplant because my body wouldn’t handle it. They told me I have a month left, I am still alive after four months. Though death has been postponed, my body is slowly deteriorating and I am starting to feel more and more pain throughout my days, and the obvious future in front of my eyes disappears gradually as that pain worsens. So here I decide to record my life on this platform I see appropriate with an unknown future, and I do sincerely hope you find anything worth learning from, from my thoughts, my experiences, and my values of life, whether good or bad. This is a blog of a person who has been forced to grow up by experience as well as someone who is too lazy to write things down.

  2. Wendell A. Brown – Georgia – I am one who loves to write spiritual, romantic, psalms and poems. My goal is to lift up the Lord worldwide with my words, my poems, and my psalms, praising Jesus (Yeshua) while bringing smiles alive in the reader's hearts, minds and spirits. May the Lord bless all of you with his amazing grace and love each day!

  7. gaiainaction – West Cork, Ireland – I have started this blog initially because I wanted to put on record my organic gardening project, but the blog has become much more than that, it has many of my nature or travel photos and experiences on it, and thoughts and stories about life here in remote West Cork. My life used to be very busy working as a branch librarian, and now that I am retired I am finding lots of other things to do, as energy allows. I believe that there are many ways in which to be creative, blogging is just one of them, and I'm sure enjoying it improving in writing, photographing and finding new subjects to write about. I'm also learning a lot and enjoying reading other people's blogs as I go along.

  13. 2ndhalfolife – In the second (or really third?) half of my life now. Moving into the more crone stage: out of my head, into my soul. My magic is returning after many years of having lost it to the streets of life. There have been some very dark times, but these have made my journey rich with the stuff of possibility. Because out of darkness has come the glittering beauty of illumination. It has come with struggle and toil, and not without help--but I am here, and I am mostly in tact, and I'm here to share the rest of this journey with you all if you care to join me.......
