The Many Shades of Support

I've had many months to reflect on my creative journey.  I remember when I first started out with my ecommerce adventure. I knew nothing about social media.  In fact, I didn't want to fool with it at all.  You Tube became my teacher.  I had no idea how to create an Instagram or Facebook story. I watched numerous tutorials, took lots of notes, and experimented.  I had no idea how to build a website.  I was determined to learn.  Over time connections grew, new skills were learned, and my encouragement blossomed.

Just as each color of the rainbow has different shades, support can present itself in several ways.  What does support look like? Support can be a purchase, a like, a share, a referral, a donation of supplies, a written review, or simply advice.  I've received them all and I'm so grateful.  Purchases make us creatives/ small business owners do a happy dance.  It is equally important to value the many other ways support can be shown.
