A Little Magic Goes A Long Way (Thailand)

Janine — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 19:22:11 +0000

In honor of Burma’s Aung San Suu Kyi for her courage, elegance and unyielding determination to stand by her principles of human dignity; and to support the education and creativity of Burmese Refugee Children living at the Thai Freedom House in Chiang Mai, Thailand, we are donating copies of J.L. Kimmel’s ‘The Magic Gown‘ and The Magic Doorway booklet. We wanted to support the children’s education and creativity and appreciate the opportunity to gift copies of the Magic Gown to the Thai Freedom House, which is a community language and arts learning center for refugees from Burma and Indigenous Peoples.

The executive director of Thai Freedom House, Lisa M. Nesser, upon hearing about the gift of books responded, ‘We would be extremely grateful and privileged to accept a donation of your book for our students. Most of our students have no printed material in their homes to practice their English, no books whatsoever and it would be amazing if they had their own copy of your book. In honor of Aung San Suu Kyi at that!’

This gift was made possible through a grant from the Angeles Arrien Foundation for Cross Cultural Education & Research.

Quote of the Day on the Brummet’s Conscious Blog

Janine — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 18:30:15 +0000

“I’m delighted to say that the most extraordinary things happen – even when times are extraordinarily difficult. …I see everything as an initiation – it is transformational. …I’ve learned a lot about allowing and patience and tenacity. …There will be people that won’t get your work, but you keep moving forward. Things take time. In our culture, it seems that we are focusing on how many and how fast, and I’ve come to calm down and say that it is about quality – not quantity.”

~ Janine Kimmel

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Why do we use it?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using Content here, content here, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for lorem ipsum will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Where does it come from?

Yes, Dorothy’s really not in Kansas anymore…she’s now eleven-year-old Lilly Segovia in the “Land of Ten Kings and Roses,” and not since The Wizard of Oz have young readers of all ages enjoyed such a lush tale of colorful characters and thrilling adventures, all to the accompaniment of enchanting, full-color illustrations. Lilly’s move to a new home sets in motion the story of a gift (the Magic Gown) that is to be given to our world from another realm, a place both bizarrely terrifying and beautiful beyond imagination…a place in which the indomitable spirit of this emerging young woman, now aided by her newfound friend Tom, is challenged over and over as she discovers her true identity in fulfillment of a charmed destiny.
