Shine Your Light
“As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same." ~ Nelson Mandela
The idea seems simple. Almost too simple. Give other people light so they can shine too. Share information about their businesses within your networks--extend and broaden the reach so we can ALL be heard and supported.
If you've been following me on social media, you're aware that I'm a fan of clapping for others, even when it's not my turn. My small business, Pat's Granola, has been enriched because of this. I will start sharing businesses on my blog that I hope you'll consider when making a purchase for goods and/or services. And, in turn, if you'll share businesses that you've come to know and can recommend, let us know so we can support them too.
Shine the 💡 on…

What a gift that our paths met, Pat, many years ago now. We’re on the same wavelength, I love this…. Give other people light so they can shine too. Share information about their businesses within your networks—extend and broaden the reach so we can ALL be heard and supported.
Kind support of one another is indeed the key to experiencing the goodness in this world. I cannot thank you enough for your continued support of my efforts. You’re such a special human and I am ever grateful to call you my friend. This is the page on my website where I highlight other interesting businesses as well https://www.thebomparties.com/virtual-market I hope others place their favorites here, too! I’m excited to find and support more people in their businesses!! THANK YOU, Pat, endless blessings to you!
