Media Appearance WooHoo!! Check out my latest interview over at Focus On Writing Blog ...Big note of appreciation to Dyane Forde for putting this together! My favourite excerpt? : How does the idea of living “green” fit into your values and message? It is all about consciousness. When one becomes educated about an issue, their awareness develops, and, with that, comes a sense of responsibility. People become more conscious of their behaviour and the decisions they make.   Check out the full interview at: https://fordewriting.com/2020/03/09/interview-with-lillian-brummet-of-brummet-media-group/   If you enjoy the interview - please do share it :) and feel free to leave a comment. ~~ Visit the Brummet's @:  http://BrummetMedia.ca ~~
