Brummet's Conscious Blog

* Modern family dynamics include members living on multiple continents, connected only by online interactions and limited to the occasional " bucket-list " holiday adventure. It isn't easy to maintain a personal connection with younger generations, with mobility and technological skill limitations, pandemic implications and travel restrictions all playing a role in this issue. Many of us have found non-blood family members who become our 'grandparents' or 'parents', that longed after 'older sister' or 'big brother'. So whether we are connected by blood, or not, we all need to look at the kinds of connections we are making and the roll we are playing in aiding future generations.  How Grandparents Can Play A Proactive Roll In Improving Society.

If we say to our mind, “ I don’t want “A” to happen, we will gravitate toward “A”. Our mind cannot move away from anything, only toward something. A magazine recently published an article about a New Yorker by the name of Pete Torres who, at the time of publication of the story, had been mugged fifteen this year. This we believe may be some dubiou
