There's a particularly beautiful hike (among many) about five minutes from our NH office. With it's cool shady paths and natural waterfalls, "Diana's Bath" is a perfect escape. The trail itself is only 1.2 miles, top to bottom. Now before you hiking enthusiasts jump all over me for the wimpiness of its length, let me tell you that this hike is not about the exercise... it's about the beauty. See what I mean?

 

  

 

But wait... there's more!

And check out this tree! It's tall and strong, even though the roots are all exposed and wrapped around rock. Aside from the fact that it just looks cool, I love this tree. For me (and I know I'm a little off sometimes, but still...), it seems to shout of tenacity and determination.

Now for the philosophical angle where I shall wax eloquent (you can thank me later). Picture yourself as the tree. You'd love to have rich, moist soil to put deep roots into, but in today's economy, life is a lot more like this picture. You often run into unforeseen obstacles that threaten to stunt your growth. Our job is to help you maneuver through them, and to direct you to the path that will allow your company to take root and flourish, in spite of the "unpredictable-ness" of this life (I'm playing the part of a philosopher, remember? I can make words up if I like).

 

 

One of the things we pride ourselves on is being specialists in construction insurance, and giving you the tools you need to succeed. Mostly, that comes in the form of information. Whether dispensed through a phone call, this newsletter, or at an Association dinner meeting, we strive to keep you informed so that you can deal with the unexpected, and grow as your business becomes more grounded.

 

While we're on the subject of information, this seems like the perfect time to plug our Facebook page. If you haven't already, please visit our page and "like" us. You'll get notice of changes to laws and regulations that affect you, links to resources that can keep you on top of things, and some humor thrown in along the way. We'd love to have our page be a place where we can connect with our clients and share ideas - both ours AND yours - so we encourage you to not just read, but leave your thoughts as well (and if you have a page for your business, please let us know so we can "like" you back!).

 

 And now... I'm gonna make like a tree and leaf you to it. Have a great month!
