What a great day!

Today has been a great day. It started out with a friend of mine calling to touch base, we don't talk much since she moved to So. Va. I was heart broken to find out after moving her family down for her husbands job that he no longer had that job. Not only did the co. let him go but there was no severance or benefits for their family of 8! My jaw dropped, it is really hitting close to home now. I of course told her about MPM, actually she asked how it was going and I of course was happy to tell her. I also told her anyone that wasn't a MPM member is just plain crazy in this economy.

I also enjoyed hearing our "Guest" Barbara on the morning call today. All I have to say about that is... Brilliant!!!

The local merchant mall and BPP have been there for awhile, we started it back up last week and guess what? I hadn't even thought about putting my own co. on it (yes I also have a stained glass business) nor had I thought about approaching businesses about advertising to that many people for only $16 a month! Why not? Who knows. So I started down that path today and also made a list of local merchants to contact tomorrow.

Think about it, if you were trying to help out the economy wouldn't you want to start where you are first? I have a neighborhood that puts out a newsletter each months and lots of companies advertise in it. I want to start with the ones in my area to help their business and help with the advertising.

Tomorrow is going to be fun.

And to all a good night.
