​Even in more “normal” times, there is a lot of preliminary preparatory work that has to be done before an Interior design project can get underway.  In the face of imminent crisis, with a Pandemic raging through communities, it’s difficult to hope; it is difficult to try to see over the tragedies and into a more manageable future.
 
But, we all know that is just what we must do: look to the future, while managing a difficult present.    I do what I can, myself, to keep that reality in mind, and press on.  Those of us in business must improvise, innovate and press on.  Many small businesses are holding on and weathering this situation as best they can.  Some, unfortunately, may not make it back to commercial health; let’s cheer them on and spread the hope around.  When this is behind us, let’s rally around them and support them back into a fair competitive position.
 

There is never a shortage of grief when disaster sweeps through a region, leaving normalcy in the dust.    Disasters – man made or natural – seize temporary control of lives and circumstances.  Whatever the plans might have been, they have involuntarily been changed.  At the very least, they have been drastically delayed.
 
In situations where complete loss of property exists, the impacts of such loss are great; and, all of the fail-safes that businesses and homeowners have previously set in place must come into play. 
 
For some, however, such preparation may not have been an economic option.  Many have been set on a disastrous path of great loss with bleak prospects for regaining stability, any time soon, without the benefits of insurance and other protections.
