Sunny this breaks my heart!It's already bad for self employed hair stylists. I usually see between 30 and 70 people a week. This week, I have a grand total four on the book for the week.
Someone close to my heart has struggled for a few years starting his own business - just a few weeks ago landed a big client - we were so happy!! - guess what has closed down? His big client! So the fallout begins. The financial stress is hard, but watching someone you care about see their dreams crumble is wretched.
Our Diocese has suspended Masses. Priests are required to celebrate a Mass everyday, BUT no one has to be in attendance - they can celebrate alone, and so they shall. My job depends on donations. In my personal finances, donations are the first to go when I need to reduce expenses. I'm going to need to find another job- it hasn't happened yet, but it will.
The financial fallout is going to be very bad for the planet.
But it's necessary to stay home and away.
I remember thinking it was just silliness last week when school extended Spring break to deal with this. And then yesterday we just shut down everything.
I toast you all! Be well, take care of each other. Maybe we'll emerge as a new creation - something better, ever hopeful.
Dana Jean You are the MOST BEAUTIFUL!
