Small Biz Bits Blog May Be Changing Homes

This blog was originally hosted by WordPress...a company I have admired for some time. Unfortunately, they closed down my blog, for reasons as yet undisclosed.

I'm in the process of trying to get the blog reactivated, but in the meantime, I can't let this issue just wait until we sort things out.

Small Business in America is in TROUBLE!!!

Too many people are in too much of a hurry to look for opportunities to support their local businesses, looking instead for a bargain or a 'one stop shopping" opportunity.

There are a number of grassroots movements afoot to raise awareness to this problem that is bleeding our country dry. One is the 3/50 Project, which I'll handle in a separate post. Essentially, you choose three small businesses you would miss if they went out of business, and you pledge to spend $50 at those businesses. The pledge is only to yourself, and you don't spend $50 at each biz...you spend a total of $50.

Another is supporting CSA, or community supported agriculture. You pay a fee, usually quarterly, and each week you get a box of produce that is grown locally, and usually organically.

Stay tuned while I continue to seek out opportunities for even the smallest person in this country to begin to make a difference!
