  3. At Sunnyside - Where Truth and Beauty Meet – earth – Sunnyside was born many years ago, the name of my fictional home for orphaned children and animals in a story for Mrs. Watson’s eighth grade writing class. A medical degree and six biologic homeschooled children later, Sunnyside became the name of my classical education website, Sunnyside Classical Christian School. Now entering a new phase of life, I plan to rest and reflect on all things true and beautiful here At Sunnyside. Who is the lovely woman pictured above? Meet my kindred spirit, Euphemia White Van Rensselear in my favorite portrait painted by George Healy in 1842 (On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 75)

  4. dianaed14 – I gained the ARPS in 2005. Photography inspires me and gives another dimension to my holidays. In Lockdown I walked locally and made an e-book showing my experiences. Since lock down my camera has been my companion on walks. Detail of seasons changing has been really enjoyable.

  7. jerrymennenga – A resident in an area known as Siouxland, which encompasses three states that includes western Iowa, northeastern Nebraska and southeastern South Dakota. A quiet region where in the smaller towns people know their neighbors and everyone else in town. And where neighbors still help neighbors. Formerly a staff photographer I worked for a number of newspapers over the years. These days I like traveling the backroads and seeing what is over the next horizon and sharing those places and people I meet.

  8. 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

  9. Templar Transactions – Well speaking about me, I am madly in the pursuit of becoming an artist-writer. I am willing to sacrifice everything for art for arts sake. I consider myself to be a disgruntled Hellenist, an ontological nihilist, a philistine hedonist, a committed postmodernist. My existential philosophy of life is: life is the celebration of meaning and the choices that I make in life make me a privileged being.
