  5. Tish Farrell – I am an award-winning writer of children's fiction and non fiction. My career began in Kenya where I lived for nearly eight years. The light, the landscape, the shining generosity of Kenya's people all conspired to drive me to the desk to write stories.

  9. The Road to Joy – Catherine has been teaching since age 5½, when she entered 1st grade and found out nobody else had already read about Dick and Jane until they were blue in the face. Oh, Spot! Oh, Puff! It wasn't their fault they didn't have a big box of cast-off readers from Big Sis stashed under Daddy's train table. Anyway, she spent many adult years happily teaching a Montessori-style class for preschool children, then high school English, and finally, 7th and 8th grade English and literature. Now she's enjoying lots of personal reading and writing--retired at last!

    What a comfy cow Elsie is, just hanging out in the meadow and smelling the flowers like Ferdinand!

  11. I’m sure Elsie writes the most beautiful classical poetry when the barn doors are closed… probably to the complete satisfaction and entertainment of all the farm animals… but Shakespeare is what she loves most… Wonderful image and imagery.

  16. 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

  17. 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.......
