Brummet's Conscious Blog

Gary Towne was kind enough to submit a detailed overview of green pest management for our readers, which I’ve broken down into 3 articles. Gary will help us find out how we can control pests around our home or office without poisoning or harming the Earth or the people in the building and the children or pets playing in the yards. He’ll show you that there are times when you can best deal with a situation yourself and give you some tips on what to look for when choosing a trustworthy pest control operator (PCO). Gary is formally of Dr. Price Pest Control and Towne’s Pest Control , now of Propec Pest Control . He is, actually, my brother and as such he comes from a family with a tradition of respect and appreciation for nature, and focused on being environmentally (and fiscally) responsible and self-sufficient.

-- World of Writing --  * Shout out to Alli Russo, Public Relations agent with http://AlliRussoPR.com Today we have Qwana Reynolds sharing her thoughts on the world of writing. She is a self-published author for the Friend In Your Pocket series, written to motivate anyone wanting to enhance and enrich their lives. Qwana tells us that her goal is to show readers that they have a story to tell and they should look at their trauma as a gift, and to make them aware of what others are going through. They should ask themselves the question, how can I help the people around me that have overcome or are in the process of overcoming trauma? Writers like Qwana have a sincere mission of helping the readers become more conscious and enable them to make better decisions that will impact our world in a positive matter. Q: Tell us something about yourself. My name is Qwana Reynolds and I love writing. I love thinking about writing and I am gratefu...

Most publishers, whether they are traditional, print on demand, indie, or hybrid, ask authors to get involved with marketing. Each author has to figure out how much they are willing to do and spend. Publishers rely on social media and author websites for publicity. Fortunately, ...

-- Quote of the Day -- "When we are no longer able to change a situation,  we are challenged to change ourselves." ~ Victor Frankl -- Green Non-profit --  Have you heard of the Environment America Organization ? I learned of them through Facebook, and if you visit their Facebook site click on the About page to find links to their offices in each of the US states.
