Brummet's Conscious Blog

Make The First Move * Today's article was submitted by our monthly contributor Elise Smith (a.k.a Sheila) who has several books available on  Amazon . Elise invites our readers to reach out to her via  FaceBook . Today, she explains how our mindset can impact every goal we have. We have to make the first move. As long as we stand around on the edge of things, unprepared to jump in, the universe seems to take the attitude:  “ Well, you don’t seem very serious about this. Once you’re committed, then you’ll get some help. ” The moment we decide:  “ I’ll do this thing, no matter what! ”  ...we somehow tap into the genius, power and magic around us. Everybody who achieves in life, makes decisions to do so.   They say:  “ I WILL do it. ”   Those who proclaim: “ I’ll give it my best shot,”  “I’ll have a go”  “I’ll try”  ...will likely come home early.  We need to get serious if we hope to get results. It is best that we als...

   Quote of the Day ©BrummetMedia.ca "The most important thing for me is to have a general feeling that I used the time I was given to create a positive legacy… be it through writing, supporting others, donating, sharing garden harvests, greening our property and making a more eco-friendly home, or daily actions such as dedicated recycling… and so on. Part of being conscious includes self-sufficiency – not being reliant on aid programs, or living in heavy debt to others, looking after one’s health the best one can, etc. So I try to live proactively in my home life, but also in business – with the idea that what I choose to do now will have a ripple effect on the direction our world takes tomorrow. What I choose to buy now, whether I grow organically, what I choose to write about and blog about… this all has an impact on tomorrow." ~ Lillian Brummet ~~~   Discover Our Books on Amazon :  https://amazon.com/author/lillianbrummet  Find us online via these landi...

Media Appearance I was recently a guest on the Caregiver Cast podcast, a service provided through the   Caregiver Lifeline Community . Host Mary Petrucci and I had an incredibly powerful & healing, in-depth and brutally honest conversation about caregiving & grief. We speak about the echoes of guilt, the exhaustion... we offer tips and discuss the benefits of delegating.  * Note : During this discussion when we touched on being OK with delegating I wanted to clarify one thing here. ...If you are going to delegate, be sure to do so only when someone asks you how they might help ....and always thank them, sharing how it helped you. Avoid repeatedly relying on someone possibly weighing them down, allow them to ask if they can help again and then share some ways they might do so. :) https://caregivercast.libsyn.com/grieving-while-caregiving-w-lillian-brummet   ~~~   Discover Our Books on Amazon :  ~~~   Discover Our Books on Amazon :  ht...

Local Food Movement  “Launching this BC Centre for Agritech Innovation will improve productivity here in B.C., meaning more food will be grown closer to home, leading to lower costs associated with transporting food. Simply put, this centre makes us a global front-runner in agritech.” The quote above is taken from this really interesting article about the growing trend, and the need, of purchasing food from local producers or suppliers that stock locally grown produced goods. Our menu plan has a huge ecological impact, it can be a positive impact - however - if we choose to shop locally.  Imagine an item grown from far away has to get loaded on a truck and taken to storage, then loaded on a truck and driven 300 miles (or whatever the distance is) to another storage unit where it is repackaged and distributed to the various stores. Much of that fossil fuel cost is reduced simply by purchasing from locally produced goods.  The other aspect of this shopping habit is that you...
