Brummet's Conscious Blog

Media Appearance  It is with sincere pleasure that I share this next resource with you... I connected with Poppy Kuroki back in early May this year after we met on the Authors Supporting Authors FaceBook group. She and I began communicating and realized that had many things in common to talk about. As it turns out, she is the author of numerous books including  A Bard's Lament and she also writes about her experiences in Japan. Poppy invited me to appear as a featured guest on her wonderful blog: Great Books With Poppy - where she and I had a fantastic conversation. I hope you check it out, and if you like it - let us know :)  https://greatbookswithpoppy.com/2021/10/10/an-interview-with-lillian-brummet-non-fiction-and-poetry-author/ ~~   Visit the Brummet's   Main Website Find them elsewhere online  HERE   ~~

 Poetry Time A professional drummer/percussionist and educator, Dave has collaborated on many songs that later led to him writing lyrics of his own. Most of his poems in this book were in fact initially written as song lyrics, thus the presence of repeating choruses though out. Actually it was Dave who first sparked the idea for the Brummet’s to walk this path they tread today – he decided to take a writer’s course to learn what he might be able to do with his short stories that he has compiled over the years. Most of those stories have remained unpublished to this day due to other projects taking precedence, but Dave plans to release some in the near future. His poem “UFO Dream” is the theme of one of his soon-to-be novels that he has been working on. Lillian began writing poetry as a teenager, which allowed her to express the issues and emotions from a broken home, abusive childhood and being on her own at 13-years old. Through poetry she learned how to see beyond these hurts and...

Kudos !!  We learned of Friends of Tryon Creek via Backyard Habitat Certification Program 's e-newsletter ...and had to share them with you here today. This conservation group works in the Tryon Creek State Natural Area, offering environmental internship, camps, talks, trips, working on restoration projects and more. The interesting thing here is they have been quietly doing this work for 50 years... it is time to celebrate their work and to publicly thank them :) https://tryonfriends.org/ ~~   Visit the Brummet's   Main Website Find them elsewhere online  HERE   ~~
