//view our Creative Project page--Anything Is Possible stories//

 * I**n these pages you will find information about our group and hopefully also gain insight into why we decided to all work together. Our name translates as **"a team to create."** We chose this because that is exactly why we all are here--to create a new approach to our professional lives.

** Tim Gaynord ,** __//Scribe//__ **, Newshido, Scranton PA, USA** tim.gaynord@comcast.net3/2/12. I'm a 30 year old who is physically disabled and is looking for work that I can do from home. I was born with Muscular Dystrophy so the computer has always been a huge part of my life. I have an Associates degree in Accounting & I'm certified to do Federal Income Taxes. I'm very easy going & won't let you down.


 * Christine R. Osorio ,** //__Connector__//, **Newshido, Philippines** christineosorio00@gmail.com 04/02/2012. I am a 22 year old single mom of a beautiful 3 month old girl. I graduated in 2010 with a degree in Nursing. I have spent the last two years working as a freelance writer, blogger and social media manager. When I heard about Lifebushido in a work-at-home forum for moms like me, I instantly thought that it was an offer that was too good to resist. I believe that I have everything that Lifebushido is looking for. I am talented and creative. I can work with any person and manage to maintain a suitable working relationship with anyone. Being a mom of a growing baby, it is crucial to find a means to provide everything that she needs while being there as she achieves every developmental milestone. I look forward to working with other members of a triangle really soon and I am beyond excited to share my creative ideas with my future teammates.

** Kelly Welch ,** __//Leader//__ **, Online Marketing Team Leader, Bozeman MT, USA** welchkel@gmail.com2/28/2012. I've spent the majority of my working life overseas as an international schools classroom and technology teacher, and school librarian. My husband and I recently returned to the US to settle down and pursue new adventures. While I love my rural existence with my bee hives and vegetable garden, I do find myself missing the creative collaboration possibilities that exist in vibrant group settings. I'm hoping that Lifebushido will provide an opportunity to pursue that intellectual itch.

"The obstacles that those who live and die on the Serengeti face are, in many ways, no different than the challenges we face at the office or at home every day. While our trials certainly take place in a different realm, the seven skills that the animals use to overcome their harsh conditions can also help us rise above our own adversities." //Stefan Swanepoel, author of __Surviving Your Serengeti: a fable of self-discovery__//

Finding Perfection and Passion
"Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success." //Henry Ford//

**Tim:** I would say that I am passionate about a few things. Some like everyone (family, friends, learning) and some maybe not as common (sports, TV, poker), but my one passion that sticks out to me is helping people become aware of disabilities. Being born with a physical disability has made me stick out when in public. Kids in particular are very curious about why I am in a wheelchair. Instead of having parents pull their kids away so they don't stare, I encourage them to ask questions so they learn. I have quite a few younger cousins, and when they see someone with a disability they think nothing of it. I always think asking and learning is better than staring and wondering.

**Christine:** For two years, I have struggled to find the right career for me because I have set a clear standard for my ideal job. I want to share my creativity to the people I work with. It would be nice if people would stop judging others by their gender, age and race. Flexible hours would be perfect as well, because I want to be there for my daughter as she grows up. I want a job that is worth waking up to – a job that motivates me to do my best in every task.

**Kelly:** When I lived in Melbourne, I used to work after hours with a non-profit theatre company that produced shows for charitable causes. I was the stage manager and assisted with prop and set construction as well assuming small acting roles from time to time. It was the best job I ever held even though I received no compensation for it. I had to be a problem solver as well as an inventor. I had very specific responsibilities to the group whose success depended in some part upon my doing the best I possibly could. I had a great deal of respect for my fellow members and our director, and I knew that my efforts ultimately had value in a wider context than our little group. A perfect job for me would include all of the same elements—challenge, creativity, mutual respect, novelty, and meaningfulness.
