Must be why you are hitting Steven up for "mad" money. ;o)
she doesn't care what type of business just as long as its hers, got any ideas?
Whatever it is, it should be something she really loves doing -- it makes it easier to put the time and effort in if your heart is really in it. I would consider a hair salon more of a service than a retail business, and -- speaking without any great knowledge of the industry -- probably less cyclical than regular retail. People have to get their hair cut, even during a recession. It is also the kind of business where you can make money off the people working for you, rather than just relying upon product sales. So its probably more easily scalable than the typical retail venture.
And if she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean." (Leviticus 12:8)
And when the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord
(as it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord")
and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, "a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons." (Luke 2:22-24)
Note from the verse from Leviticus that one of the doves is a "sin offering", and that it is "for her". Whatever else one might say about Mary, the gospel does record that she did present a sin offering for herself.
