Brummet's Conscious Blog

Host Peter Clemenson did an interview with me on his dynamic podcast  -   The Opinionistics Show -  which is based out of England, and we are so excited to share this 25 minute podcast interview with you today !!  It was so funny at the end, where he surprised me with question that drew a complete blank in my mind. lol   I'm not sure why, but the brain just shut right down for the question of picking one song. ...an awkward moment to be sure. lol Weird, how the brain will just completely shut down when asked an unexpected question - a first for me, actually... ha ha.. but such is the joy of live interviews.   https://open.spotify.com/episode/1VGgX2zus7ahJfseMVtVT2?si=30UpP7nMQAqKv1YTWh82Eg&nd=1  ~~~   Discover the Brummet's Books on Amazon :  https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0845RLK1X  Find Them Online via :  https://taplink.cc/brummet  https://linktr.ee/LillianBrummet ~~~

Her article today speaks about finding your home, where ever that is. My brother's friend, and a few of our friends, have relocated to either Mexico or Vietnam and have found their home there.
