HEN THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC BEGAN
sweeping the nation – and affecting us here in Middle
Georgia – the impact to our everyday lives was startling.
e costs to small businesses, especially, cannot be discounted. While
we are all finding a new sense of normalcy, we must support Macon's
makers and still show love to our neighbors.
Small businesses have faced unprecedented challenges and need
our help – whether we choose to visit in store, shop online or support
and share on social media. A few common and therapeutic ways
to deal with the impact of the pandemic have been slowing down,
cooking and recreating. Two local businesses that are overcoming
the adversity of COVID-19 have graciously provided tips on baking,
mask making and how to spruce up your space. While the pandemic
may have felt like a continuous cloud overhead, let us never lose
sight that the glorious days – where we can all be together again –
will return, even if they look different. Let us find joy in the gift of
slowing down and also remember to help each other and our small
businesses shine.
Shop local,
think global
