I couldn't help but smile when I read in this morning's paper that a local barbershop has an idea to jumpstart the economy, with scissors and hair!
According Legends Barbershop to co-owner Daniel Abrahamson, "Our idea of a stimulous is $8 haircuts. We all need to get on board, we have a real problem here," he said. He believes the economy can rebound if everyone works hard and offers good service for a reasonable price.
I think this is his version of Bloom Where You're Planted. And how true that concept is! None of us individually can fix the economic woes our nation is mired in, but each of us CAN do SOMETHING to make a difference. Do you remember the story about the kid, seeing thousands of starfish stranded on the beach at low tide, throwing as many as he could back into the ocean? An old timer approached him and told him he was wasting his time, there were thousands of starfish, and he couldn't possibly save enough of them to make a difference. The kid tossed another into the water and replied that it made a difference to that one!
Abrahamson and his partner Debbie Hisig are co-owners of the barbershop which recently opened at 1801 Lincoln Way. Recent transplants from the Seattle area, they love their work and consider their customers like their family. I think I will stop in today and shake their hands. Meanwhile, the world would be a better place if we all followed their example. Let's consider what we can do personally to help jumpstart the economy in our little piece of the world.
