Keeping Doors Open and Lights On: Love Your Local Businesses

I am and I do, and choices are important to me.

Yes, that may mean going to four independent stores to purchase what we need, rather than a single warehouse/chain entity, or one online order which arrives in eight different shipments/boxes, but my local stores are right around here, on the way to places I go each week. And they are here because we KEEP spending there, keep supporting them, keep their lights on and doors open.

Who else does the same? 🤩💪🩷

Sacrificing "Easy" for "Experiences"

All this talk about "how much more efficient we are", what we scored from Amazon, how incredible it is the mega corporation dropped groceries in a bag on your doorstep.... sure, there are times shortcuts are important. But more often.... there are times we are making excuses to avoid going out, exploring, trying anything new, sharing experiences with children at one of a kind establishments.
