Outstanding Blogger Award

laura bruno lilly — Thu, 18 Mar 2021 12:18:00 +0000

Thank you Mariss for nominating me for this award. Along with the honor it bestows, it also gives me a chance to break out of blogger’s rut! In keeping with Mariss’ attention to word definitions (she ferreted out what exactly a blog award nomination really means) I thought I’d first focus on what the name […]

Ray's Zen

laura bruno lilly — Mon, 16 Mar 2020 15:09:35 +0000

One hot, humid evening, late last summer, I scrounged the few books I had left on my bookshelves (in my passive-packing,* some of the first items to be packed were ‘books I can do without for now’). I spied my paperback copy of Ray Bradbury’s, Zen in the Art of Writing, and promptly plucked it […]

Snips, Snaps and Soggy Bottom Pie

laura bruno lilly — Mon, 18 Nov 2019 15:30:28 +0000

Catchy title, eh? It’s been rolling around in my head as a title for a poem since 2015. The alliteration, associated visuals, meanings and rhythmic feel just lends itself to something more creative than yet another blog post. I mean, speak this out loud: snips, snaps and soggy bottom pie. Like I said, the perfect […]

Insights into the creative life…Quotes

laura bruno lilly — Fri, 13 Sep 2019 23:59:22 +0000

Couldn’t have said it better myself…the following quotes by J. Michael Dolan Uptight, Worked Up & Edgy! Every single day, a plan, a plot, a project, a scheme or a great idea screams to be on the front burner: A song that needs to be recorded. A video that needs to be shot. A business […]

ToDoTuesdayTwo

Even though I feel like there’s not much to report, I’m chiming in on this week’s linky-party for the sake of continuity. And, remember, Roseanne at Home Sewn by Us who sponsors this says it’s okay however I decide to participate! ~~~ My creativity trinity* is as follows: fiber art – MUSIC – writing. Each is intertwined with the other, offering needful […]

Poetry Shoutout: “In Brigantia” by Andrew James Murray

laura bruno lilly — Thu, 27 Jun 2019 02:26:44 +0000

Good poetry meets you wherever you are then draws you into its world. Seamlessly weaving place, perception; revelation, inspiration. Touching both the mind and soul. The poetry of Andrew James Murray does just that and his second published poetry collection, In Brigantia does not disappoint. ~~~ I prefer reading poetry in the deep of night, […]

Reaching the Finish Line and Zeno’s Paradox

laura bruno lilly — Mon, 20 May 2019 10:45:33 +0000

I have always been intrigued with Zeno’s paradoxes. Specifically, his Dichotomy paradox. As a mathematical concept it offers a glimpse into the world of infinity – an abstract concept of boundlessness – and by way of my own extrapolation: eternity – a reality outside of time, with no beginning and no end. Yep, math is […]

All in a Lady's Life

laura bruno lilly — Wed, 20 Jun 2018 11:22:18 +0000

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 […]

On Doing Final Drafts

laura bruno lilly — Fri, 17 Nov 2017 03:20:49 +0000

Silly me. I thought the final drafts and final rewrites of pieces critiqued by two different writers groups in two different states, edited, reworked and rewritten over a time span of close to four years would be the easy part of finishing my Goat Suite Saga set of 7 vignettes. Never mind the larger project […]

Belated Blogiversary: the fourth

laura bruno lilly — Fri, 13 Oct 2017 00:39:57 +0000

Sometime around the end of August, beginning of September, my 4th blogiversary made an uneventful appearance. It came and went. Meh, life goes on. (Evidenced by these few fall photos) I’m noticing many blogger-buddies are entering into their own 4th and 5th years of regular posting; with plenty of re-decorating, re-purposing and de-cluttering […]
