First some facts:
Over half of America’s workers own or work for a Small Business • Small Businesses have generated over 64% of new jobs in the last 15 years • Small businesses create 2 out of every 3 jobs today • Add greatly to the economic growth of the country.
In early 2025, a new monthly publication arrived in the mail. A local small business owner, mother of two children, was attempting to make a go at it in this magazine business while maintaining another job. I decided to become an advertiser despite it not having any track record (This new business owner, who was part of the backbone of the American economy, willing to use hands and brains, versus trying to just get a handout, was deserving of my support).
They published this article on Mary and I. The person who wrote it, was yet another young woman entrepreneur, balancing motherhood too, being a wife, and also working hard. I found her work so good, that I engaged her to write the new, last chapter in the sixth and final chapter (please God, this is it now 6 editions later) of my book. She also wrote the article below about it and her experience.
The blessings poured out by Almighty God on Mary and I, must be shared. I hope to use this relationship with the magazine to help others in our community.
“And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Hebrews 10:24-25
