Make Ready: The Mechanism of Transformation

Ten years ago this August, I'd been all but bed bound being sick for three months after having my last baby.

I started to feel well enough to venture, so Rob and I walked outside in the yard.

As I stood beneath the green elm tree that had grown so large since it was planted there by my parents when I was a small child, I admired the verdant green and just stood there soaking in the joy at being alive and well enough to come outside.

I had this sense then, like a voice whispering, that I needed to take in the sight because it was the last summer I'd see in that house.

I did. I can close my eyes and see the way the bright blue sky outlined the vibrant green leaves. All around us was drought, but right there in that place in that yard, life was flowing abundantly.

We had no money, no savings, no prospects, but I believed that sense and trusted somehow it would work out.

I had further health issues and when I got out of the hospital the following January, I had this great fear and I said to Rob, "We've done nothing to prepare for moving and if it doesn't happen, it's on us because we sat idle!"

What could we do though? Still no money, still no prospects, no way of making this happen.

So I had us do the only thing I could think of: make ready as if to move.

We began paring down our possessions and getting ready, as you do when you are about to move.

That act of faith despite all odds set things in motion.

We were gifted a check for the full amount and we bought the house we're in now, paid in cash and moved in by 5/31, just 4 months after that realization leaving the hospital.

I didn't see another summer in that house.

They cut down the tree, I'm so glad I didn't see that part. 😭

Where's this story leading?

Buying a rock like this is INSANE. It weighs 963 pounds.

I have nowhere to put it.

But earlier that day, I had identified a way forward for a dream I've long held close to my heart.

It involves community, a safe space and a hope in the future.

Then this rolled across my feed. I'd been watching his posts, he was listing 50 giants in 50 days and I was curious what he had.

But when I saw this one, I knew it.

And so, here, too, is an act of faith.

I am putting out there my trust and belief that this dream will arrive.

But more importantly, I am putting ENERGY into that belief, a tangible energy, this time in the form of a monetary exchange.

We'll see what rolls around next. And I really wish cameras could pick up the green, because this is a beautiful vivid green piece.
