Brummet's Conscious Blog

Purple Snowflake Marketing recently received a 5 star rating !! ...and this awesome review: "Purple is my favorite color and Purple Snowflake Marketing is my favorite marketing book that I've ever read!  Writing has been one of my passions since early childhood, and learning the other skills necessary to actually get a book published has been a fun adventure, but marketing has not come so naturally.  In the face of this big challenge, I appreciated reading a book by authors who have walked this road, sharing their insight, experience and practical advice that any author can implement.  I especially appreciated the tax tips and the chapter on building an audience.  Excited to work on my business and marketing plan for the book I published last month based on everything I learned from the Brummets!"

Poetry Time !  Most of you know already that Dave & I enjoy Playing With Words , which is why we chose that name for the series of poetry books.  In Our Midst comes out Rhythm & Rhyme , the 2nd book in the  Playing With Words series . In Our Midst  How can we justify this life? With every breath that we take, Can we influence this hard world? Is there power in the hands,  Of This boy or this girl? There are heroes in our midst, And you know that they exist, They exist in you and I, We are the heroes in our midst. How can we waste away this life? When every breath is a gift, A chance to choose whatever fits, To make some wrong right, Or ease somebody’s plight. How can we whine about this life? When those who passed before had, Passed through rougher roads and more. And when looked at in this light, The roads we travel are golden evermore. How can claim we’re conscious? When each breath releases anger, Or some rotting hate within. And are we making change...

"The sea is emotion incarnate.  It loves  hates  and weeps.  It defies all attempts to capture it with words  and rejects all shackles.  No matter what you say about it  there is always that  which you cant."  ~ Christopher Paolini ~~~     Follow us & find our Books:   on Amazon Visit:   Drum It With Brummet Blog Subscribe:   Brummet Media​ YouTube Channel​  ​ ~~~

The  Recommended Resources  series has been published on this blog since we transferred it from the  Brummet's Muse  biweekly newsletter that ran for 6 years or so, many years ago. When we closed it down, we decided that we just had to continue this series here on this blog and have been doing so now for nearly 2 decades. With this series, Dave and I have the pleasure of sharing some great resources which can include  - positive impact organizations and events - citizen science projects  - helpful articles, amazing resources & exciting interviews We hope our readers will reach out to thank them for their work, find a way to network with them, share these sites with others or get involved in some way. ** Want to see a non-profit listed here? - Send us a  FaceBook   or  LinkedIn  message.

World of Podcasting - Interview Today we have the honour of featuring our good friend Betsy Wurzel Sloan on our blog. Betsy and I met via Alignable back in early 2022, began networking soon afterwards, and consider ourselves friends today. This woman works hard to make a positive difference, and we are thrilled to share this discussion with you - especially with September being  World Alzheimer’s Awareness Mont h . I was actually unaware of that fact until Betsy brought it to my attention.    Chatting with Betsy is where conversations for caregivers are held.  It is all about helping other caregivers. Caregiving is a job that leaves one often feeling that they are on that journey alone. Dealing with spouses, siblings, children or parents with  Alzheimer's, Dementia , or Parkinson's can be especially trying. This podcast provides a place of comfort and brings a sense of relief to those with unending stress.  ** Find the  Chatting with Betsy   ...
