    What a wonderful image to wake me up this morning! Thank you!

  3. Nyx – Singapore – Hey there! 👋 I’m the brain (and a little bit of the chaos) behind The Crazy List — a space born out of midnight musings, too much coffee, and an obsession with organizing life one list at a time. By day, I juggle life, family, work, and the occasional existential crisis. By night, I become a passionate writer, idea chaser, and curator of all things list-worthy. From bucket lists and beauty tips to deep dives into self-growth, I believe everything is better when it’s bullet-pointed. The Crazy List is my corner of the internet where logic meets a little lunacy — because life isn’t always neat and tidy (but a good list sure helps). Whether you're here for inspiration, entertainment, or just to feel like someone gets the beautiful chaos of your brain — you’re in the right place. So, grab a cup of whatever fuels your soul (coffee, matcha, wine — no judgment), and let’s turn everyday madness into meaning. One list at a time. 💫 Let’s get crazy — in the best way possible.

    1. Guests that I don’t mind if they arrive early. But they didn’t this unusual spring.

  4. simon7banks – Harwich, UK – I write poems and stories, often mystical or fantastical. I believe very strongly that poetry is an art of the spoken word, so the sound of the words is important: so please say my poems aloud, if only in your head. I live in the U.K., in Harwich, Essex, but have worked in Kenya and Finland, and travelled to many other places. This is my literary blog. I'm also a Liberal Democrat political activist, birder, long-distance trail walker, real ale drinker and Quaker.

  5. 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

    “early girls”…! Like the very slight blur.

  6. Robyn Haynes – Australia – Robyn enthusiastically pursues a green and writerly life on the north coast of New South Wales, Australia, where her background as a doctor of social anthropology equips her with an interesting slant on the human condition. She spends much time indulging a passion for her garden where she ponders life and attempts to stave off existential angst. In her more reflective moments she makes wry observations on courtyard gardening and its parallels with life.
    Robyn Haynes says:

    Such an apt description – smiling eyes indeed.

  7. 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. I am revisiting this blog after many years, many life changes and challenges and finding myself surrounding by joy and resilience. Join me for the transformation and transition.

    Miss daffs!

  8. LB – I'm a woman who loves spending time on the motorcycle and in, or on, any body of water. I love traveling and reading, baking and cooking, taking way too many pictures, and enjoying my family and friends. Life is an adventure, and I want to remember and express my joy for it! This is a journal for me ... so I'll never forget the good times and to remind me of them on more challenging days.
    LB says:

    Your words fit the image perfectly The smiling girls of spring <3

  9. judybarton – Still in love, complicated, almost stupid, interested to recognize herself. "Up to the age of eighteen years old everybody writes poems; after, only two categories of people may continue to do it: poets and idiots." (Benedetto Croce). Obviously I do not consider myself a poet.
    judybarton says:

    I too smile as your yellow girls 🙂

  10. Anand Bose – Kurianoor, Kerala, India – I am a Hellenic Philistine Hedonist, an existential nihilist, and a postmodernist with a passion to write poetry, fiction, essays and philosophy.

    Beautiful Photography! Anand Bose from Kerala

  12. letsgetreal2016 – USA – I'm an artist who is entranced by color and light. I also love to paint the contrast between the hard, geometric lines of manmade structures and soft, flowing lines of nature.
