  2. clcouch123 – In conversation, I prefer Christopher. In writing, I use C L Couch because it’s a genderless form of my name and, frankly, easier—I have severe writer’s cramp. This is a blog of poetry, spiritual and occasional. The permanent photographs used here—for the banner, for my profile—were taken by Debra Danielson, a photographer and friend. You may enjoy more of her work at debra.danielson.org. Please presume a copyright and credit me when using mine. And for many things, first your presence here, thank you very much.

  3. 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

  4. Irene Tobias Rodriguez – Having taught art for many years to all ages and having grown up with a mother interested in assorted crafts, my art experience covers a variety of media and techniques. I am constantly experimenting with ideas and materials. When something catches my eye or an idea pops into my head, it often becomes a work of art. My artwork includes acrylics, watercolors, original art quilts, block prints, scratch art, digital paintings, photographs, ink drawings, gourd art, and various three-dimensional art including hand felted wool head figures. I use a variety of subjects including flowers, animals, still life, landscape, and maritime. Most of my work is representational although I sometimes work with abstracts. I have also developed a technique I call "Puzzle Paintings" in which I cut a board into puzzle type pieces, paint each of these segments individually, then put them back together to create the completed, slightly distorted looking work.

        Yes, I have a beautiful bounty. I started with 2 bulbs years ago and they multiply like rabbits. And two more were given to me a couple years ago. I have given away “baby bulbs” by the hand-full. One large bulb had 4 buds last year with 4 to 6 flowers on each stalk.
