OMG! Thank you for all of your support, thoughts and prayers. It really means the world to me. Just know that even though I can't respond to each of you individually at this time, every word means so much to me.

Hopefully things will slow up in a couple of days.

I'm so glad it wasn't worse than it was and no one was seriously hurt or killed. I hope that one fire fighter has recovered 100%.

Given the nature of the business and building that burned down (fabric, wood floors, 100 year old build etc), its a miracle that the fire didn't spread beyond that.

You will be back up and running in no time and your new salon will be better than ever! I can't wait to see restoration photos!

ETA:

The Shop that I was going to Pre-LHCF was attached to a very popular restaurant downtown that had a massive Grease Fire and it burned her business down as well.

She was also on our Local News and several Salons from all over town offered her Booth Space (which was very nice) until she was able to get re-established.

Thanks so much.

I am sorry to hear that. What is it about downtown Douglasville and fires? This is the second time the building next to me has burned down. It happened once before I moved in.

A local salon contacted me as well.

Girl...I don't know.

The restaurant ended up rebuilding in the same exact spot.

She re-opened and moved to a totally new location in a different part of the City (and had a Grand Re-Opening).

Yes, she got a lot of support from other Salons that offered her space etc...

But Lawd she was on TV Cryin' & Clownin' and Passin' out

You represented dignity & class and Faith in God.

Most of her Clientele did follow her to the temporary Salon.

Wow. I chuckled a little on that one.

I am glad she was able to rebuild.

Thank you. My Faith and Trust in God helps(ed) me to not worry and to keep my composure. He gave me peace that passed all of my understanding. I thank Him dearly.

Girl, she was fake-faintin', tryna' fall out on the Anchor-Woman, wailin' the whole 9.

Girl, it was so ugly.

Um..Yeah...She performed. White & Black Salons offered her space.

Thank you for Representing.

I am so sorry for you! But Thank God everyone was okay. Things are replaceable. You will be up and running in no time.


...and the offer still stands if you want to move to Jersey. Seriously, I'll help you drive around and look for business spots and errthang

In all seriousness, I am just glad no one was hurt.
I'll think of you, the other business owners and the firefighter.

I'm so sorry to hear about your misfortune. You are too much of a giving person to stay down long.

Peace be with you and yours.
