If you would like to submit, simply visit the  ABOUT  page for guidelines & contact information. BEAUTIFUL B.C. The West wind is blowing and calling to me, Come back to the mountains, come back to the sea, Green valleys in blossom with blue skies above, I’ll always come home to this land that I love. There’s gold in the sunset where wild geese still fly, Where proud Douglas fir trees are touching the sky, And wild rushing rivers run down to the sea, Dear land of the dogwood, our Beautiful B.C. The wild flowers are blooming, so fragrant and fair, From meadow and hillside they perfume the air, And small creeks are rippling, their waters so cool, Where cattle are grazing by deep shady pools. Your smoky blue mountains with white crowning snow, Your emerald green islands where soft breezes blow, Your dark northern fo...

     Drum It With Brummet's Hand Drum Circles  September 24th (Wednesday)  7 PM - 9  PM (Pacific) This  2-hour e vent is held monthly, and is for all skill levels and are a lot of fun for ages 15 -80. Bring your own drum, or percussive instrument, but  if you do not have a drum - let us know as we do have a limited supply that we are able to let participants use for events like this.   Drum Circle  participants simply "play” at making music with a variety of drums and percussion instruments. This activity requires careful listening to the music at that moment, as it is being played by members in the room. Rather than being instructed, participants learn to "jam" with other drummers.  Dave Brummet  facilitates these events to ensure everyone is comfortable, playing at an enjoyable volume and having a great time. Held in a beautiful setting in Downtown Creston, BC - this specially designed music room features large, soft, pa...

A Word From The Authors A few years ago I was a guest on the Transparency Talks Podcas t where we discussed the behind the scenes aspects of being an entrepreneurs, and the importance of taking time off... something I still struggle with.  I had a chance to listen to this discussion again recently and felt that this particular quote might be helpful for our readers... if you want to access the full Transparency Talks Podcast interview visit the link below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIeCwpnK8WQ   "Taking time off is my personal challenge! So when we have time off, all these things that I wanted to bring to Dave’s attention - I remind myself: Let's not talk about business right now. That's my personal challenge is to shut off my brain. As far as scheduling personally time together we literally schedule it in. We say: 'okay this day we're gonna take from three o'clock on off and we're gonna go have some deck time, or we're gonna go out in the garde...
