February is '2-1-1 Awareness Month.' 2-1-1 is a free, confidential service that connects people all over Maine to needed resources in their area.

It's Monday, the first day back to work for most after the big blizzard. It may be just a Monday in February, but being the 11th, I figure I'd give you a reminder of a service that we have and that is easy to utilize if you're in search of help. If you need help, there is 2-1-1. "Get connect, get answers" as the slogan goes.

We’re in a brutal cold spell, at least through this week anyway. I’ve seen two Facebook status updates from people saying something to the effect of, "I hope we don’t run out of oil." Not sure if it's because of their cash flow or not, but it does make me think to at least help direct those who are going without oil, or are challenged with heating costs, to the right place.
