  1. Dee Clark – New Zealand – i am a woman who sometimes still feels like a girl. i dream. i plan. i play. i laugh. i cry. i am shy. definitely not the life of the party but am fascinated by those who are. i like the variety of personalities i find in people. my goal is to accept each soul for who they were created to be however different than me. i've not always been successful at this but i continue to strive toward that goal. the most adventurous thing i have ever done was move to new zealand from my homeland the good 'ole usa. i love the beauty i find here. i love the simplicity of pace and life. it's a good fit for me even though i miss so many things about home. i am married to an oyster farmer. so, i get my hands dirty. i have times that the grungy is more than i can stand and i have to don my prettiest attire and get out of here. i have 5 children (we are a blended family like so many today); morgan, tim, chris, bradley and christopher. sometimes, morgan and i feel out of our depth with all the testosterone. i am not super-mom. i don't even want to be. my children are all different, independent, spirited souls. each with his and her own specialness. i am a grandmommie. this i LOVE! jake and ella are truly treasures of my heart. i am not super-grandmommie, either. i aspire to be even in a small way as wonderful as my grandmother and mother. i am a woman on a journey called life. it's not a cliché to me. it's how i roll. sometimes it's fabulous. sometimes it's mundane. always it's real and never as i fantasize but it's mine. my journey. i wouldn't trade it. my journey has taken me places i wish i had not gone and places i loved. i've learned and experienced so many things; sometimes more than i thought i was strong enough to experience. all of it has shaped the woman i am today. welcome to my blog...a look inside my heart. i hope it helps you look inside your own and treasure what you see there. feel free to share with me. or not. it's up to you. my hope for you is that you are confident with who you are as a woman so you can share your gift with your circle of influence. they need you.

  3. 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.

  4. Tom's Nature-up-close Photography and Mindfulness Blog – My Blog primarily consists of close-up nature photos (that I've taken locally) combined with original holistic-truth oriented prose and/or poetry involving mindfulness/awareness. I love nature and I love understanding the whole (not merely the parts and the details). I'm a retired teacher of the multiply handicapped. I have a number of interesting hobbies, such as fossil collecting, sport-kite flying, 3D and 2D close-up photography, holography, and pets. Most of all, I am into holistic self-awareness, spontaneous insight, unconventional observation/direct perception, mindfulness, meditation, world peace, non-fragmentation, population control, vegetarianism, and green energy. To follow my unique Blog of "Nature Photos and Mindfulness Sayings" and for RSS feeds to my new posts, please access at: tom8pie.com (On my regular Blog posting pages, for additional information and to follow, simply click on the "tack icon" at the upper right corner... or, on my profile page, you can click on the "Thomas Peace" icon.) Stay mindful, understanding, and caring!...

    Great picture and saying!
    Personally, one feels that the whole goes far beyond nature… (that it is much more vast than even nature itself).

  9. cbrandon50 – I have never been one to quibble about my age. However, this year, 2010, I turned 50. I realized that life is going way too fast and I can't say that I am crazy about the direction it is going in. So, what else can one do except....blog about it!

  12. 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.......

  18. 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.

    Again, a wonderful image of remarkable simplicity.
