-- Quote of the Day --  Re: bullying :   “Whenever you hear someone being called names or being blamed for something you know it isn’t right, you know it has gone beyond teasing. If you hear that please step in, you need to stand up and say something. I believe that we are all equal and should be treated equal. And tell someone or many people so that you know people know about it and someone will step in. …sometimes even teachers won’t step in, to know things like that are happening drives me crazy. We all need to step in – it will continue to happen if you don’t step up and step in and say something about it.” ~ Josie Milner Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episode that aired back on July 30 2013 … titled: Musicians Making aDifference  (*Click on the title to access the full discussion)  -- Media Event -- Please do join me over...

-- Quote of the Day -- “ I’d like to encourage everyone to grow something they can eat just for the experience and to see that it is so easy. Whether it is some herbs in a pot on the patio or in a window box… anyone can do it if you have a little bit of light and a little bit of space. …And the more of us who grow a little bit of our own (food), the better it will be for our planet. …Growing a Row for the Needy was started by the National Garden Association of America …it is so easy to do.  …Share it with a neighbor, or an elderly person…  it is just a wonderful gift to give something you have grown .”  Find the full discussion - Sunday Gardening, with Guest Daria Bowman that aired back on April 17 via this link: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/consciousdiscussions/2011/04/17/sunday-gardening-guest-daria -- Brummet's in the Media -- I have been invited to do a radio interview with: WIN (Weening away from the Insights of Negativity) - Monday (today) from 1...

-- Quote of the Day -- “ Paint is a bigger odor causer than the carpet in the home. If you keep the home closed tight the VOC’s will just stay there. …Watch out what you are using on a wood floor – because that will release a tremendous amount of VOC’s and respiratory irritants and you won’t know why you are having various symptoms, all you are doing is using a commercial product on your floor-gee what could be wrong with that? … Here’s what we are being sold: You go into a marketplace and they sell nail polish remover – which is acetone, it also dissolves lipids and fats – so we inhale this and it goes to the nervous system which is made up of lipids and fats… and it is absorbed from our skin. And then we wonder why we are so angry all of a sudden or something. This, to me, is along the same lines of insanity of buying a country fresh sent pesticide (which are designed to kill life – they are biocides) to provide fragrance for our home. …We have this implicit trust and so we mu...
