Brummet's Conscious Blog

I had the opportunity to re-visit an interview I was invited to do on the  Advisor Podcast    and while listening to it again I discovered this important part of the discussion below about surrounding oneself with positivity in order to heal, recover strength and become our own friend.  “  I found that I had to completely change my life and protect myself, so I went into overdrive and eliminated of all the magazines, all the newspapers cancelled television cancelled any relationship or any thing that was not negative in my life and just surrounded myself in a very selfish bubble like cocoon until I could heal myself.  Writing became a massive tool for me to heal during all of this. To express myself in a very private way without worrying about how it sounded to others. It was very helpful for me." https://www.spreaker.com/episode/embracing-resilience-a-guide-to-overcoming-grief-and-sadness--52898603 ~~~     Follow us & find our Books: ...

Poetry Time This monthly series began more than a decade ago in an effort to encourage the joys of poetry. Here we celebrate other poet's work, as well as our own. If you would like to submit, simply visit the  ABOUT  page for guidelines & contact information. In Our Midst How can we justify this life? With every breath that we take, Can we influence this hard world? Is there power in the hands,  Of This boy or this girl? There are heroes in our midst, And you know that they exist, They exist in you and I, We are the heroes in our midst. How can we waste away this life? When every breath is a gift, A chance to choose whatever fits, To make some wrong right, Or ease somebody’s plight. How can we whine about this life? When those who passed before had, Passed through rougher roads and more. And when looked at in this light, The roads we travel are golden evermore. How can claim we’re conscious? When each breath releases anger, Or some rotting hate within. And are we mak...

A Word From The Authors © Brummet Media Group A few years ago I was a guest on  the Small Talk YouTube Channel &  I was inspired to listen to it again recently & I thought this particular section would be of interest to you.  If you would like to access the full interview on  Small Talk YouTube Channel  click the link below:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAtUZq91SfE “   The arts are a therapy - I mean music and poetry and writing ...they all have this incredible power to connect with people. As artists we have this incredible power to help others understand that they're not so alone that the world is not so dark and dangerous that there is positive and helpful – there’s good things out there that they can embrace – they just need to be made aware of, or reminded of, that fact. I like quiet; I like being by water or by a  fountain being in nature hearing the birds being around the dogs...  just just being, really. I try not to go t...

 Our R eaders are absolutely wonderful ! Find this book at:  https://www.amazon.ca/Down-Road-Collection-Dave-Brummet-ebook/dp/B0DYS8DVS9 His family memoir recently received this amazing review: “ What makes  Down the Road: A Collection of Memoirs  so affecting is how it transforms history into something intimate and lived. By weaving together memories from four generations spanning  World War I, World War II,  the  Great Depression,  and into the present - the book doesn’t just document events, it preserves the emotional truth of family, migration, resilience, and legacy.  Maria’s brave journey from a Romanian village, Tony’s rise in Canadian public life, Frank’s reflections on raising a family in the Okanagan Valley, and your (Dave's) own closing reflection create a deeply human record of time passing and stories being saved before they disappear.
