Trash Talk - a green-living book series We love hearing feedback from our happy readers ! Find the Series:  (US) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09YC64SB7 (Canada) https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B09YC64SB7   “  I came across Trash Talk - Book#1: It’s Easy To Be Green and was immediately impressed by how approachable and empowering the book is.

Trash Talk goes beyond simple recycling by encouraging readers to rethink h...

If you would like to submit, simply visit the  ABOUT  page for guidelines & contact information. FEBRUARY'S SILENT EMBRACE The waves softly touching desert-like sands... The sea gulls making known their demands... The wind whispering through budded leaves... The water rises as the snow grieves... Familiar birds fly back home, To ready their nests for the unborn. Colours change from grey to green... As the rain washes earth's face clean. The stars shine brighter than before... As the do the eyes of those who adore, The glorious feelings from this wonderful place; Brought by the tides  of February's silent embrace.  Find the Series:  (US)  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09YMCRVZ3 (Canada)  https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09YMCRVZ3 ~~~     Follow us & find our Books:   on Amaz...

A Word From The Authors © Brummet Media Group Several years ago I was a guest on the Transparency Talks Podcast but recently I was inspired to listen to it again.  This particular quote during our conversation about working with the media (below) struck me as being of interest to you as well.  If you would like to access the full  Transparency Talks Podcast interview,   click on the link below.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIeCwpnK8WQ   "When i'm approaching the members of the media I offer more than I'm asking for. I always promote every single media event, in every aspect, in every way that I could possibly do, & I do this multiple times -  like even years later , I'll go back to listen to the interview, find a worthy quote and share it again:  'Oh I'm just looking back at this interview and this inspired me, or 'I was remembering this about the discussion.'  In fact, I just did some of these over on my Socials the other day. I ten...
