 -- Quote of the Day --    “(upon returning from Haiti) I was definitely more appreciative of everything that we have – even just basic things like water, you know I could go to any faucet in town and knew that I was going to be able to get some water out of it and know that it would be safe and clean. And even just having a safe place to sleep – after going down there and seeing millions of people literally sleeping on the streets, taking over parks and creating tent cities. …I will probably never have to be homeless and I am so lucky for that, and so grateful for that. …You realize that you are really very fortunate living in a country like this. You get the sense that we really are the top percent and have all these luxuries.” ~ Chris Rakunas Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episode that aired back on Nov 4 '12 … titled: Delivering Hope to Haiti  (*Click on the ...

-- Quote of the Day --  “We live in a very interesting time. …In some countries we are able to get our voice on, to speak out and speak up – if we so choose. …There are many women who feel that what they have to say may not be heard, may not be valued or that they don’t count in some way. …When we think that we can’t make a difference or make change or ask ‘who am I?’ …We need to release that self-saboteur, those limiting thoughts – that is fear talking. What defines that fear for you? The answer is different for everyone. …How you step forward and effect change really starts with your consciousness.” ~ Michele Mattia & Jennifer Wilkov Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episode that aired back on Oct 18, '12 - titled: Together, Women Can Change the World  (*Click on the title to access the full discussion) -- Brummet's In the Media --  I am proud to announce that I was invited to pa...

Small business entrepreneurs are opening new business ventures to meet the rising demand for used and rental items. Smaller items from CD’s, DVD’s, comic books, clothing and books have been available in both specialized and general used stores for some time now. Second hand furniture and other household items can be found in thrift and second hand stores – many of those raise funds for local charities.

Common big-ticket items today are tool rental and equipment rental – including things like tile cutters, wood floor sanders, drywall mud equipment, lawn and garden equipment from grass thatching and aerating machinery to garden rototillers and post-hole dig...
