Brummet's Conscious Blog

Recommended Resources Periodically, on this blog, we share resources that we feel will bring a moment of joy or enlightenment, inspire and educate our audience, links to amazing charitable organizations and more...  Today we have these 3 new resources to share, all of which came to us from Wil Anderson.

Today's post comes to us from Doug Rose, and is an excerpt from his book: Fearless Puppy On American Road. Doug approved my use of this excerpt, a valuable aide to those interested in travelling by backpack. Check out Doug's links when you get a chance and he welcomes you to reach out to him directly ;) FEARLESS PUPPY WEBSITE BLOG     FEARLESS PUPPY ON AMERICAN ROAD/AMAZON PAGE FEARLESS WEBSITE THE PROCESS There is a process to hitchhiking. Much of what holds true for the hitchhiking process often holds true for other parts of life as well. First, you’ve got to decide that you want to get somewhere other than where you are. Then you have to raise the energy and determination to actually leave your present location. All trips start with a determination that’s serious enough to get you off your butt and moving. You might have a very specific destination in mind or it could just be a direction. Regardless of the destination, you will probably have to overco...

 Announcing a new series of Posts for Writers ! I'm a part of numerous online writer's groups and each seems to have its own unique focus. I do enjoy the interesting conversations there and also being able to pay-it-forward.  Way back in 1998, when I was new to professional writing, I had a ton of questions and I recall all the advice and help I received when I was new to the world of writing. Watching the conversations started by new writers got me thinking that perhaps I could do more to help. As such I was inspired to try a 2 yr  experiment ... sharing recommended resources for writers on a monthly basis. This will be a series of posts that will in fact share links to articles and interviews with hundreds of other authors and tons of resources. If you've seen our Recommended Resource series on this blog, you'll have a general idea as to the format I intend to use.  So today I am announcing the series. It will be published once per month, around the middle of the ...

Announcement Occasionally I will do a name search online just to see how our relevancy had grown, or not,  over a specific time period. I was especially curious since we had done a lot of promotions for the new book and new blog released earlier this year. The result was pleasing, that is for sure.  However during these searches I'll often find online publications, blogs or websites that have picked up our articles and used them as content (via article distribution services).  Here are two that came up that I did not already know about! Thanks to the owners of these sites for picking up our articles :) !  Website  (article) :  https://www.coursehero.com/file/81657303/Dehydrating-Garden-Harvestsdoc/ Blog  (article) :  https://remotefitness247.com/blogs/news/make-delicious-and-healthy-meals-at-home ~~   Visit the Brummet's @:  http://BrummetMedia.ca ~~

Today's increasing energy costs, shrinking budgets and stagnant wages are a growing concern. For those of us living in the more extreme climates that require extra heating in the winter months or relief from the blazing summer heat, there are tricks we can do to increase our comfort while lowering the bills.  Walk around your home and take a mental note of all the electrical outlets and light switches, computer and TV outlets and any vents or pipes along each exterior wall. You’ll likely find some on the outside of your house too, so be sure to walk around out there and along the deck, taking notes of where they are, and how many of each. Purchase caulking or foam and fill around any piping, cords and vents you noticed that breach the exterior walls.  Look for cracks and gaps or holes anywhere on the exterior and be sure to fill them too. Get a few packages of insulation kits and plugs designed for outlets and light switches. It is easy to do, just take the cover off with a fl...
