Brummet's Conscious Blog

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CWT2GD3C Prepper's Water Survival Checklist offers a comprehensive overview answering frequently asked questions about collecting, reusing, conserving and storing water during an emergency.  Personally I found the information about collecting water from fog quite interesting. It was very nice to see the author also touched on grey water - we had a grey water system on one of our rural properties that diverted water from sinks and showers to feed the trees surrounding the home... we never did have to water those trees for the 2.5 years we lived there.  Since then I've often wondered why building regulators don't encourage grey water systems for urban yards. This should prove to be a useful guide to anyone concerned with water during a crisis. ~ Reviewer: Lillian Brummet ~~~     Follow us & find our Books:   on Amazon Visit:   Drum It With Brummet Blog Subscribe:   Brummet Media​ YouTube Channel​  ​ ~~~

" Although human subtlety  makes a variety of inventions  by different means  to the same end,  it will never devise an invention  more beautiful,  more simple,  or more direct  than does nature,  because in her inventions  nothing is lacking,  and nothing is superfluous.

I am super excited to share this next post with you!  I began networking with Gaby Francia, and podcast host Lucia Matuonto, back in Sept. 2023.

However, today I have the pleasure of sharing this really neat project they are doing at Catch The Story! Podcast , where they recently featured our work. I hope you have a chance to check it out.

A Little YouTube Tony M. submitted the following question our way:   "When people are in abused situations they often feel guilt, and they hold on that guilt and feel like they will be judged... any advice for them?" "Their inner judge, inner critic, or inner saboteur keeps them in that cycle and they willingly allow that to happen because it takes a huge amount of courage to challenge those inner belief systems and face the healing journey. " Find the full 3 min video responding to this submitted question here: https://youtu.be/7tmq6iRtzB4

Interviews are one of my personal favourite aspects of this blog. Interviews allow me to really connect with & get to know my connections on a deeper level. It gives me a chance to interact with my connections more often & is a great way to show my support of their work.  Today I have the pleasure of featuring author & illustrator Michelle Cornish with something like 16 books available on Amazon . She also writes children's books with her kids as A.J. Kormon . Michelle drops in today to share her passion  for positive thinking & some of her experiences creating numerous books in several different genres. When I asked Michelle what she likes to do on a day off - when she isn't writing or drawing - she said, " you'll find her losing to her kids at Uno in the sunny Okanagan (BC, Canada)".  Pretty cool coincidence is that my husband, Dave Brummet, was born and raised in the Okanagan, & this is where he met & married me some 34 years ago. We mo

With this series, Dave and I have the pleasure of sharing some great resources which can include  - positive impact organizations and events - citizen science projects  - helpful articles, amazing resources & exciting interviews We hope our readers will reach out to thank them for their work, find a way to network with them, share these sites with others or get involved in some way. ** Want to see a non-profit listed here? - Send us a  FaceBook   or  LinkedIn  message.

" The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.  It is the source of all art and science.  He to whom this emotion is a stranger,  who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe,  is as good as dead;  his eyes are closed.
