Covid Business Boosts: Resurgam and The Phoenix: Support Small Businesses!

 I started doing these boosts when Maine went under a State of Emergency, this is slated to lift on August 6th.
Good Work Mainers!!!

Recapping the 110 businesses and organisations that I've boosted during the Covid shutdown/State of Emergency, will bring me to Aug 5th.

It certainly has been challenging, with lots of heartbreak and some bright soft spots to uplift us.
For some, this has been a reminder to buy local, support local and small business owners.
Small businesses make up the backbone of Maine.

Staying focused on supporting local businesses is one action we can take to help Maine fiscally recover from the economic impact of Covid.

In Maine, we are fortunate to have such a wide variety of solo-entrepreneurs, family owned businesses, amazing non profits and lots of people with big dreams and bigger hearts.

It's so hard to know what to do, when the impact of the covid shutdown has been so monumental.
We're not done yet.
For some their businesses have already folded, others are getting by somehow and some are beginning to see signs of re-growth.

I've always loved that the motto and "mascot" for Portland is Resurgam ( I Will Rise) and the Phoenix.
Rise Up and Re-Create is a challenge, an invocation, an offering, a light on the path forward.
