I recently attended an event with some local influencers and we were introduced to some great local Sacramento businesses.  Some I already knew and have visited, others were new to me, I want to share these great local Sacramento businesses with you all.  

I am so grateful to Kellie over at @EmptyNestMomLife who put together this wonderful evening of fun.  I met Kellie on social media and she has been so kind and supportive.  I love that even though her kids are older, grown and some in college as her name says @EmptyNestMomLife, she still gives love over on my page even though I share a lot of stuff geared towards families of younger children.  

I love her style, home décor, and all she shares.  I love that she has a lot of fun with her college age kids and it gives me a glimpse into that next season in our lives and what we have to look forward to.  I love how she supports, and promotes great local Sacramento businesses.  

Kellie and these local businesses went above and beyond and really showered us with love and gifts.  One thing I love about the influencer community I have had the good fortune of meeting and the local businesses is we all know that in supporting each other, we are supporting a dream, someone's vision and purpose in life.

When you like, comment and share my posts, it is so much more than "just a like".  When you shop local and buy flowers, get a new pair of earrings from a local boutique it is so much more than "just making a purchase".  

Behind every entrepreneur, small business, life coach is a real person, who is not only trying to make a living but I truly believe business owners, influencers, entrepreneurs are really about community and making a difference.  

Starting your own business, starting a blog, sharing on social media, takes a lot of work.  Those who continue, do so because they really do love it and love their community.  Believe me now that I have blogged for years and seen the good seasons, of business and the low seasons, I know at a greater level just how much heart goes into these businesses.   

I am going to share the business names and websites, if you are local here in Sacramento, go give them some love.  These are real people, with real families, trying to make an impact here in our city.  Go give their page some likes and tell them you heard about them from BlogAboutItAll.  

One of my biggest hearts desires in blogging is to cheer each other on, to uplift each other and support each others goals and dreams.  I am so grateful for the friendships, I have received through blogging and Instagram, people and businesses that our paths would have never crossed without this platform.  I am grateful for the encouragement, the branding tips, the social media tips I have received and I aim to do the same with others.  Share the wealth of information and resources, share the wealth of love and encouragement.  Share the love of our city #SacramentoProud.
