We've all had them. That moment when we realized we've crossed the line, and we're in trouble. In that moment, the only thing that can help is likely a good insurance policy. However, the time to buy that insurance policy was before you were in trouble, right?

Painters of landscapes know that no tree in nature is straight. The imperfection of the world is what makes it relatable, and beautiful.
