Thoughts and reflections, continued......
"Places where people have come together to plan, brainstorm and commit to the economic health of their community have more to offer in the way of attracting new residents and continued growth. While a new way of thinking has many people believing that online ordering and automated deliveries are the ticket to a better life, our input, suggestions and gentle reminders still play an important role in broadening minds and advocating for better decisions. That's where you, I and all the other folks come in - as a source of education to enlighten and encourage the appreciation and love of supporting small businesses. Thank you for following this page." ~❤~ image posted November 9th, 2013 ~
I'm grateful to have been able to talk about the love of small businesses, the value such places bestow upon our communities and to share the message that locally-owned establishments matter. One of the most important elements of change centers around education and knowledge; this is where I feel we can all take an active role in advocating for independent businesses everywhere.
March 20th • Last night I received a thank you message which was so kind and thoughtful. While I don't do this for applause - I do it because I appreciate and respect the amazing and dedicated small business owners out there, along with knowing that our society benefits so much from local, personal connections - it is lovely to feel appreciated.
Your continued support of the life and energy which runs through our towns, cities and neighborhoods is beautiful and valued. A message this important takes many voices to encourage, educate and distribute, and while we are just a tiny effort your participation is greatly appreciated. Please find and connect with us at the social links below and continue to spread the word about the things that matter. THANK YOU.
