Brummet's Conscious Blog

The  Recommended Resources  series has been published on this blog since we transferred it from the  Brummet's Muse  biweekly newsletter that ran for 6 years or so. When we closed it down, we decided that sharing resources was just too awesome not to continue. 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 and links to helpful articles.  Feel free to check out their websites, and perhaps send them a note of appreciation for what they do. It would, of course, be fantastic if you see a way to network with them or get involved some how, or possibly share their information with your networks.

-- Quote of the Day --  “ What worked for me is to have a date night where we could get away with each of the children where I participated in an activity that they enjoyed – allowing them to have that quality time where you can focus on one another. …We have to do a lot of education on our part – because when we see a person with a disability we overcompensate or we feel so overwhelmed that we don’t know how to respond to them. So help people become educated about what they can and cannot do. … …Everybody has a talent – tap into that talent and give them the opportunities and the tools to help them become successful. …If you are out there dealing with children with special needs remember that they are capable of wonderful success – don’t look at them for what they cannot do; look at what they can do. Nurture that and help them develop that into a skill .” ~ Victoria Marin Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episod...
