Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday…It’s getting a little overwhelming, isn’t it? Quite ironic that a holiday that celebrates gratitude, harmony, and harvesting has been eclipsed by a frenzy about shopping, deals, and bargains. Take a moment to breathe, be in the moment with loved ones, and then consider what is of value to YOU.

Here at RLEI we believe in small, local businesses. In supporting individuals and families over big, faceless corporations. In the gift of great health, good cheer, and warm moments. In protecting the planet, prevention, and providing more cherished memories together.

If you agree, we encourage you to think about your plans this upcoming weekend and into the holiday season. Where will you be spending your energy, your money, your time? We will be remembering the spirit of the season most of all and preparing to join in the movement called Giving Tuesday next week. There are so many worthy causes that could use the support.
