© Brummet Media Group Quote of the Day "Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.  Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.  The winds will blow their own freshness into you,  and the storms their energy,  while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.  As age comes on,  one source of enjoyment after another is closed,  but Nature's sources never fail."  ~ John Muir   ~~~     Follow us & find our Books:   on Amazon Visit:   Drum It With Brummet Blog Subscribe:   Brummet Media​ YouTube Channel​  ​ ~~~

      Drum It With Brummet's Hand Drum Circles  January 27th (Tuesday)  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.

A Word From The Authors © Brummet Media Group Several years ago I was a guest on the Follow Your Passion podcast but recently I was inspired to listen to it again.  This particular quote from the interview (below) struck me as being of interest to you as well.  If you would like to access the full  Follow Your Passion podcast interview   click on the link below.  https://www.follow-your-passion.biz/1949742/episodes/10651781 " Feel the fear and do it anyway.  It is always going to be scary.  We’ve been in this business 2.5 decades and every time we launch something new it is always scary it is always a little unsettling at the very least.  And we do it anyway. Don’t be afraid to not have the skills or not have the experience. That is ok - most of us didn’t when we first started. There are a lot of things out there that I have yet to learn and sometimes it can be a little overwhelming; a little intimidating.  I try to take it one day at a time...
