Hi All. This is Amanda, CMO of Porteus & Son Builders. The past few days have produced some crazy headlines, and we just wanted to reach out to everyone to say we are here.

We are a business that will continue operating as usual, remotely. We have already been mainly working remotely because we are a building company, so whatever building site we happen to be on that day is the site we set up our offices on. Also, as a side note, the Ponderosa we are planning to build is being designed and will not be started until we are told it is safe.

To maintain continuity, I will take some time to post about positive things happening in this world for the next few weeks. The first positive news item I would like to focus on is how you can spread joy in your neighborhood right now.

Put Some Love On Display

The windows of our homes can be handy as displays for anything you would like to put out in the world. For instance, many families living in Louisville, Kentucky, are putting rainbows in their windows for children in the neighborhood to play a game of “I Spy.”

If you have a window on a street where anyone will be walking past, put up a nice, uplifting, kind word. You can be as fancy or as simple as you want. Street artists have been doing this for years, trying to beautify whatever city they’re living in. Street art and social upheaval have a long history together.

So, to keep this post short, put a rainbow in your window if you think a neighborhood child will see it. Put up some positive words if you think someone might need them. Just because we are in quarantine doesn’t mean we can’t communicate with the outside world.
