    Helloe, Helloe *smiles* I'm new to Yahoo! CN but, I have a few years under my belt. Although 45,..I feel more like 3245, heh. Born at the wrong time but, just in time. I have a love for philosophy and ancient histories. Politics are also of great interest to me, as well. I'm a natural bourne cook,.. and I'll try n share my simple stuffs with you at times. My mind is called 'schizophrenic,' and that may explain my want/desire for creativity. I came in 3rd in a 2nd grade poetry contest. Wrote a bit in my late teens and early 20's. Haven't been able to express m'self in over 20 years,..hope you enjoy the thoughts while they last. It's all Saphris' fault!! I express a conservative view which I call 'Conservativity.' I am an independent fiscal Conservative,.. My Social views are as widely varied as the insects inhabiting this world. I hope you take a look at my thots in my op-ed pieces, and remember:: NEVER judge a book by it's cover. Want an Opinion on something?? L:et me know. If I'm not schooled on the subject,.. I'll look it Up and see what opinions form, if any. Thanks for taking a peek at my information/ bio-thingy. Rudolph.
  • Mala Mukherji
    Bio of Mala Mukherji Born in Los Angeles, California to parents, who immigrated from Calcutta, India, Mala Mukherji began studying the differences between Indian and American cultures from an early age. Frequent and early trips to India and being raised in Covina, a homogeneous suburb of Los Angeles created the perfect climate for Mala’s future pursuits. While attending the University of California at Los Angeles, she studied the psychological and sociological impacts of the politics and histories of numerous cultures. After receiving her degree from U.C.L.A., she attended Pepperdine University School of Law, where she concentrated on issues relating to individual rights. After passing the California State Bar Examination, Mala practiced law in the Los Angeles area for over eight years. Throughout her law career, Mala studied and explored Western psychological theory and Eastern philosophy and their practical application to the individual’s experiences. As a result of those studies, Mala left law practice and created a modality of spiritual psychological therapy, which combines Eastern and Western theory. She has maintained a thriving therapeutic practice for the past eleven years. Her clients include numerous leaders in the areas of sports, business and entertainment. Having worked as a therapist for eleven years and over 10,000 thousand hours, Mala researched and discovered what allows and motivates individuals to grow. Because not everyone has the resources to partake in therapy, she wrote ASHES, which provides women and men a vehicle by which they may consider the events of their life and how those events effect them in present day.

  • ginger burow
    I am a married mother of 3 and a native of the Texas Hill Country. I have enjoyed writing of all kinds since a very young age. I have published 2 recipes in Country Woman magazine, and in 2 of their cookbooks,"The Best of Country Cooking 2007" and "The Best of Country Cooking 2009", and "Taste of Home Annual Recipes 2010", as well as on the Taste of Home online site.I have one poem published by Poetry.com, in their anthology, "From Silver Fountains"; another by JMarkPress, in an anthology entitled,"Great Poets of the Twenty-first Century"; and several poems published online at Fellowship of Christian Poets online. I have one historical piece on a rural Texas school, published in "Gillespie County School Histories 1983"; 3 devotional booklets for a local church; and one illustrated, children's Christmas book, entitled "The Night That Was Christmas", published by PublishAmerica.com. Writing is my passion, second only to my children who cause me to engage in that unpaid mother's vocation of burning rubber on Texas roads, to keep up with them and all they do. Of course that is the one thing I would never trade, and will dearly miss one day all too soon. I am an outdoors person and prefer to be in the pasture in my spare time, in fact it is where I have done some of my best writing.
  • Rachel Marie Smith
    I recently graduated Cum Laude from Georgia State University with a BA in English focusing on Advanced Composition and Rhetoric and a minor in Philosophy. During my time as an English major, my writing and research interests tended to lie in women's studies and social problems. Since graduation in May 2011, I worked as an intern at the Partnership Against Domestic Violence. Here I worked and learned under the Community Outreach department. This internship allowed me work on the front lines of domestic violence and to work to further understand the dynamics of intimate partner violence as well as violence against women as a whole. As a result of my undergraduate education and my work in field so far, my primary interests lie in writing about and researching prevention and awareness about violence against women. Therefore, I intend to go back to school for to achieve my Ph.D. In this way, I can continue working on the front lines of domestic violence as well as researching the causes of violence against women with a goal of ending such violence in mind. I also have a strong passion for photography, creative writing, collecting antiques, as well as a deep appreciation for Art History and the way in which this field can be used to tell the story of human history as a whole. Furthermore, I have a love for studying world religions and the ways in which religious histories, theories, and practices influence our political, social, and individual lives in various, yet concrete, ways. I am also an avid reader of urban fantasy, creative non-fiction, and political blogs.

  • Nicholas Ramirez
    I started writing when I was in kindergarten, mostly just coming up with ideas for fun characters and story lines akin to the cartoons and comic books I enjoyed so much, more thinking I would be an artist then a writer. In first grade my teacher noticed what she felt was a talent for writing and had me enter a contest in which I took first place by writing a children book, so I began focusing more on writing stories and creating character histories then drawing them out. By the time I hit high school I was focused on writing novellas and short stories set in worlds I created and also started writing for the school newspaper articles about music and social commentary opinion pieces. In the last few years I have turned my talents towards putting together press kits for local businesses, bands and dancers. I still spend much of my free time writing stories and I enjoy every aspect of my chosen field.
  • Lauren Hovis
    From an early age, I gained an appetite for knowledge. So many things in this world interest me, from serious academics to pop culture in the United States and around the globe to dog breeds.

I am acutely passionate about writing in academics and creatively. I am published in the inaugural edition of ESSAI, a project compilation for College of DuPage (IL). I have a passion for music in all genres and do write on the topic often. I am deeply passionate about dogs, from breed histories to current events in my local animal shelters. I adore dogs so dearly that I own a personal blog devoted to anything pup. I am passionate about supporting mental health. I myself suffer from two rare and serious mental disorders, discovered early in life. They are profound in effect & I make leaps and bounds to conquer them every day. My interests change constantly, but my passions remain true throughout.
