-- Quote of the Day -- “If you are a psychotherapist and you choose to write – you just have so much available to help you do that. …You can combine the two and express your ideas on how you see life, and offer people perceptions that they can ponder and be able to help them… and also I think [writing] is a great place for your own healing.  …I think writers always have to have someone that is guiding us toward how we want to improve our writing, reading books does that for me.  …You have to let people know that you exist and what you offer up. You have to show why they should take their time and their money to spend reading your work. …You are competing with many things that readers can spend their time doing. …I think it is important to respect the consumer’s time.  …You have to offer an experience and the clearer you can get about how your experience differs from other entertainers then the better you can communicate this in your promotion efforts.” Today's quot...

-- Quote of the Day -- "Never forget that life can only be nobly inspired and rightly lived if you take it bravely and gallantly, as a splendid adventure in which you are setting out into an unknown country, to meet many a joy, to find many a comrade, to win and lose many a battle." Annie Besant -- Positive Eco-News -- Wow! Finally someone has developed a bicycle generator! The system designed by Taiyo Denon Corp and Ito Kogy Development and Design companies - consists of 2 parts that are attached the rear wheel shaft and works in such a way that simply pedaling will generate electricity which is then stored in a specially designed device. The technology is apparently based on some wind-power generator and an electric storage device technology. *Source: Japan For Sustainability Org. -- Conscious Discussions Talk Radio Show -- Our featured guest will be: Jenny Craig - who has a background in neurology and psychology and has studied in nine different countries.

-- 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...
