COVID Clench, Pandemic Hair and Cardamom Braids

laura bruno lilly — Wed, 19 May 2021 12:00:00 +0000

In my fantasies of what I’d do first once I was fully vaxxed, getting a haircut was the primo #1 Big Thing. I’d been gearing up for the Big Leap into an enclosed, hair salon experience during the 2 weeks-after-my-second-jab clearance and figured it’d cross off two ToDos at the same time. #1 – Getting […]

Thoughts Thought on The Longest Night MMXX

laura bruno lilly — Tue, 22 Dec 2020 04:36:00 +0000

Can a 66 year-old woman begin her own designated Hero’s Journey? Again? Is it too late? Rather, is there time left in her life to dive into yet another Path that would surely reveal itself during that Journey? In many ways, 2020 has been the dead-end to end the multiple dead-ends I’ve hit over the […]

Specialty Feet

laura bruno lilly — Sun, 10 Mar 2019 03:03:25 +0000

Soon after the first two weeks of my convalescence I set up what my sorella-amica Lisa called a ‘sewing sanctuary’ – a working layout that is user friendly for one such as I with ‘Specialty Feet’. I scrunched down the ironing board, placed it in between my desk and sewing machine and scooter around from station […]

All in a Lady's Life

As hubby alluded to in the last post, we went to Colorado via the ‘long way’ earlier this May. First driving for 17 hours straight through to Waco, TX to visit my baby cousin and his family (and to do some business with a colleague in Houston). Then off to Las Cruces, NM (a […]

Quote – On Sorrow, by myself

laura bruno lilly — Sat, 13 Jan 2018 00:55:35 +0000

Been a bit under the weather lately. As I ‘get better’, I find myself perusing all sorts of Youtube tutorials on my fav sidekick instrument – the UKE. And am having fun exploring musical paths yet uncharted. I’ve been immersed in musical possibilities and realized that that door had been closed and re-opened without my […]

Seed Quote, by Hope Jahren

A seed knows how to wait. Most seeds wait for at least a year before starting to grow; a cherry seed can wait for a hundred years with no problem. What exactly each seed is waiting for is known only to that seed… A seed is alive while it waits. Every acorn on the ground […]
