Small Business Saturday® founded by American Express to help bring more business to small businesses

I've heard of Small Business Saturday of course, but never knew its origin. Time to give credit where credit is due!

"Nov. 28 is Small Business Saturday®, a day founded by American Express to help bring more business to small businesses everywhere. Find out how to use the day to help your business connect with your local community and encourage customers to show their love when they Shop Small."

Why should small businesses continue to keep AmEx, a HUGE business, in the forefront? Why not? They have the power to bring attention to an important issue that small businesses can't.

For example:

http://localfirst.org/images/stories/SLC-Final-Impact-Study-Series.pdf

Here is how American Express OPEN forum interprets this report: "A 2012 study by Civic Economics, a company that analyzes the impact of buying local, has found that local businesses are known to have a “multiplier effect” on their communities—the idea that every dollar spent at a local, independently owned business can stay in the community and help generate a far greater economic value. But it’s not just about the economy: Research shows that vibrant local business communities lead to more charitable giving in a community and more walkable neighborhoods with unique character, according to Michael H. Shuman, an economist and author who specializes in community economics."
-- https://www.americanexpress.com/us/small-business/openforum/articles/valuable-players-crucial-role-small-businesses-play-communities/?linknav=us-of-topics-trending-article

Remember that many internet only based businesses fall under Small Businesses. And they definitely help you to avoid the CRUSH of bodies... Especially when artists can now provide a variety of gifts as well as art, such as throw pillows like this one by Photographic Artistry by Heather J. Kirk.

And how crazy would it be to sleep in the hand of the Buddha, in a bed with such a Duvet Cover.

Gathering - "God's Little Blessings Series"

It's been too long since my last post in a series called "God's Little Blessings - because they all add up and they all matter..." I share here a conversation to demonstrate that not only are there blessings, but we can trust that things are happening "behind the scenes". Sometimes we are blessed to know about them, other times we may never know.

 

I like how this friend describes prayer - "accepted" and "gathering". No, we don't always get the 'vending machine answers' we want or expect, but they are heard:

 

Friend: First I would like to tell you thank you for praying the other day. I swear to god from that day on I didn't get not even one pain. I think God accepted our prayer. Thank you.

 

Me: Thank you so much for sharing with me that the prayer made a difference. I know deep in my heart that it does, but every once in awhile I feel like He doesn't hear, then someone like you reminds me that He does. Praise God! And many blessings to you my friend.

 

Friend: Oh, God hears all the time and God loves gathering prayers.

prayers, dreams and wishes into the Heavens.

How not to ask for "stupid" help...

Next in a series called "God's Little Blessings - because they all add up and they all matter...":

There are some really basic things that any girl, all right let's not be sexist, that any person should know how to do without looking it up. In this case, how to bake a potato. I mean I know - piece it a few time, bake it, right! But at what temperature, for how long? These things are important enough for me to want to know...but not important enough for me to remember, lol!

But if I called or texted to ask you, "How do you bake a potato?" wouldn't you be irritated? "JUST bake it!"
 or "JUST it!" (That's what happens when you try to copy and paste Google's logo by the search bar.)

So that I did, and I am grateful that people are able to make a whole blog post out of baking a potato.
http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-bake-a-potato-three-easy-methods-157073

  (Their picture, not mine)

And then I can double check on another search to make sure the directions are pretty much the same for using a toaster oven...which is my definition of baking ... which is why I need help. :)

Here is my lovely picture.

What are those gashes, you ask. Those were my delicate attempts to remove the eyes...

Tumbling

Today I saw a tumble weed roll across fields...funny I think this iconic image has mostly been in my imagination or on TV in the past, in spite of living in the desert.

Then it crossed four lanes of traffic. I was sure it would cause problems, but perhaps it is engineered (by the Creator) to follow paths of the open wind. It dodged all cars!

 A few years ago I saw these amazing sites above and photographed them. They can now be found on my Photographic Artistry website on the "Tumbling In" gallery page.
