This whole COVID-19 crisis has been a rollercoaster ride... to say the least! But one thing I will tell you that it's helped me to do- seek out resources that I didn't even know existed! 
We tend to get so caught up in the daily activities of life and work, that when something crazy- (like Coronavirus!) disrupts our busy schedules, and we now find ourselves with less of certain things (cashflow), and more of others (time), it shifts our focus onto things we may or may not have seen or even noticed before.
During this search, I found a neat resource that I never would have thought about- A place to help Women Owned Businesses in Idaho... for FREE?!
Now, yes, I'm sure there are many of you out there saying, "Well, duh... How have you never heard of this service that is backed by the U.S. Small Business Administration?" But I hadn't! So, as a downtown Boise small business owner of over 20 years, who had no idea this was a "thing"... I'm guessing there are a few more women business owners out there who have been so busy running their business (not to mention juggling and balancing their family and home lives) they haven't gotten around to looking up what help and support there is out there... so I'm sharing now.
The Idaho Women's Business Center has a TON of tools for women-run businesses, so many resources that I didn't even get through ALL the options that were available right here at my finger tips! So, I wanted to give them a shout out (THANK YOU!!) and also spread awareness of some tools that, had I have known, would have been extremely useful to me over the years!
Here's the landing page that I was able to set up with just a small time investment.

And did I mention that it was FREE?!
Now... it's on to research what else I have explored and discovered, since maybe I've been under a rock for a while! LOL!
