buy local

the idea is simple yet super smart!

1. pick 3 local businesses that you would greatly miss if they disappeard.
2. spend $50 each month at a locally owned business.
3. feel amazed that you helped to generate about 42.6 billion in revenue and save your local economy.

have you heard about Dibspace?

i was recently introduced to Dibspace. and now i find myself checking it out every day (sometimes even several times a day) to see what's new and what's being offered. it's a great way to barter without feeling like you are getting cheated. so far, i've "dibbed" a manicure and i'm in the works of getting help with a worm bin (cool!). it's a great way to share your talents and enjoy treating yourself to something that you may not have otherwise tried. take a look!
