Do you realize how much power this gives us?

It means the big businesses are losing us and, actually, the loss that big corporations have already suffered is a primary contribution to the recession we are in right now.

But that’s OK. It’s all part of how society rebuilds itself. Sometimes you have to take a step back before you can go forward.

So, if we see the recession as a not-so-bad thing, we can use it to our advantage. Are you with me?

What this means is that smaller businesses, for the first time in decades, have a fighting chance. And in case you haven’t noticed, small business is exploding.

They have something big businesses don’t have: a personal touch.

For those of you who don’t remember what it was like to have this so-called “good customer service,” don’t feel bad. I don’t know that I do either, but I’ve seen a lot of movies and I’ve listened to a lot of old people talk about what it was like in “their day.” I imagine it to be something like this:

People GAVE because they were in a position TO GIVE. I imagine there were some people who didn’t hold up their end of the bargain, but hey, it probably all evened out in the end. Some people call it Karma -- and Karma is a concept that has been around since the beginning of time.

So, there is your answer! Karma is the way that we are going to survive this recession.

You have something? Give. You need something? Take.

This recession is a way for the universe to clean the world up a bit, and rebuild the social order of our culture. You can’t have a rainbow without first having a storm.

This new (or should I say old fashioned) way of business is creeping into the general public more and more. And I am mighty impressed, I have to say.

Here is the best part: You can choose who to do business with, and if you choose to support the small business men and women in our society, I can pretty much guarantee that they will support you, and give you that personal touch which has been missing for the last 30 years.
