Saturday, November 25, 2017 is Small Business Saturday – a day to celebrate and support small businesses and all they do for their communities.
The local economy is impacted greater when one supports local stores and businesses this time of year. Many mom and pop shops are the work of people who do what they do out of love and to provide good jobs for their friends and neighbors. So today and throughout the holidays support those small businesses in your area that make a big differences.
This is my very favorite bit on what the madness of Black Friday is. Insane sales within a small window of time and people doing whatever they have to do to get that deal. Also Bobby Moynahan and Anne Hathaway are really funny in this.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends from Canada. May your celebration be one of love and commitment to your country. May your Home and Native Land be True North and prosperous. God bless you all.
It’s a new month and a new set of opportunities. We are in the gateway month to the holidays ahead. Be sure to celebrate each moment as we go along. Grace and peace to everyone!
