With sincere gratitude, I humbly accept the “One Lovely Blog Award” from Amberr Meadows. She is a wonderful connecter of people that I’ve already mentioned here.
muz4now got an award
The “rules” regarding this award are:
- Acknowledge the giver of the award (see above).
- Tell seven random things about myself.
- Award the One Lovely Blog to 15 other bloggers.
Seven random things about me:
- I have a sniffly nose right now.
- When it’s raining, I enjoy watching the drops coming down.
- My favorite instrument to play is the guitar.
- I can’t stand to be away from my iPhone for more than about a minute.
- There was another version of the award logo. I chose not to use it because the one above seemed a little more manly. (But you can view it at designedbyann.)
- I’m really sarcastic. In spite of what my wife thinks.
- Since I stopped drinking (alcoholic beverages, that is), I have an almost constant craving for dark chocolate. Sometimes I give in to the craving. (I think that was 3-things-in-1.)
Fifteen other wonderful blogs/bloggers who deserve this award:
I’m not going to use numbers here. These are in no particular order. They are all awesome.
- Kate Arms-Roberts - I could never say enough good stuff about Kate’s writing. She inspires me consistently.
- Derek Sivers – The way most people think of Seth Godin is how I think of Derek Sivers.
- SOULCHICKEN (aka Lenore Perconti) – She’s my niece. I am not biased about her quirky writing style or awesome, illustrative photos.
- InterPlay Monday Morning Email - Random except that it’s always about InterPlay or some other body-based philosophy.
- Mandala Design Works blog – actually four different bloggers/artists on one site. Yes, you caught me. I’m one of them.
- Artists Road by Patrick Ross – blogs about lives of “the creative”. Terrific.
- The Social Freelancer – Tracy Ready is a friend and superb in his output on artists (especially musicians) in social media.
- ZenHabits - the first blog added to my Google Reader and it’s still there. Huge readership.
- MuseInks (Ami Hendrickson) – just discovered her this week and I love her style.
- Kimberly Bordonaro – personal branding. OK, maybe a bit “corporate” in her look, but good information.
- MusicRoom – as the masthead says: everything for the musician.
- The Clear-Minded Creative – I like almost anything from Scotland.
- Jennifer Warters – who blogs at Rainbow Foundation and elsewhere.
- Diana Brunson - a friend who writes from her heart.
- Derek Flynn’s Rant With Occasional Music
There you go. Thanks again to Amberr! And be sure to visit all the blog links…
Playful blessings,

let’s be friends…
You do have a lovely blog! Thanks for “paying it forward” with some other great blogs that I haven’t experienced…yet. I’ll be checking them out, and continue to rock, Stan.
Amberr,
I have nothing to say other than repeating myself: Thank you!
Playful blessings,
Stan
Wow! Thank you! You are so sweet. I’m humbled. And…you and my son have a couple things in common. He’s very sarcastic. And admits it. He’s also a musician and I think his favorite instrument to play is the guitar as well. It used to be the drums. He hasn’t had any gigs for a long time and doesn’t really do much with his music. Skateboarding was always his focus. Still is somewhat. He’s a 27 year old kid-at-heart.:) Now he’s in college and has a wife and daughter. ~sigh~ All grown up.
Hmm, I wonder what random thoughts are gonna come out of my head.:)
Years ago, I used to always have “Write From the Heart” in my signature on my blog. Then I started censoring myself so I was no longer writing from my heart. I’ve missed that.
You have one of the blogs on your list that I want on mine. And you’re one of the bloggers.;-)
This is going to be a fun blog post to write.:)
Keep the muse-ic playin’

Write From the Heart
Diana,
You are so welcome. I can’t wait to see what you do with this post, either!
Thanks for sharing from your life/heart again (about your son, for example). You are so “real”. I really appreciate that.
I encourage you … invite you … to yourself speak your mind (i.e., to not censor).
Playful blessings,
Stan
Stan, thank you so much for including me in your list, and your kind words. I’m familiar with some but not all of those other blogs; time to do some exploring.
Oh, and a word of advice: When watching raindrops fall, make sure you keep that iPhone dry.
Thanks, Patrick. And very funny.
I truly read your blog word-for-word. Thanks for the inspiring, soul-searching and skillfully crafted posts.
See you around the BlogoTwittersphere.
Playful blessings,
Stan
P.S. Thanks for the mention of this post on your blog! (See, I do read it.)
Stan,
My favorite instrument is the piano which, after 9 years of forced piano lessons as a child, I play well enough to get through a song but badly enough to envy those who can *play.*
Thanks for the award. I’m honored, and pleased that you discovered my blog. I, too, self-medicate with dark chocolate. If I could play the guitar, it would be my favorite instrument to make music upon. Sadly, I am still in the beginning stage, struggling to produce a decent-sounding “F” chord.
Cheers!
You’re so welcome (fellow Virgo), Ami!
Great to hear from you and I am TRULY blessed to have connected with you and your MuseInks.com blog!
Playful blessings,
Stan
