It is really happening!
I am feeling the reality of this idea taking form. What an expansive experience. Of course it is still an idea, but the houses make it real. These two beautiful houses, places of so much potential are bringing the intangible realm of idea into physical reality. I am a bit speechless. So many fun and wonderful things are happening. I discovered that the founding members of the Art Garage, my two lively energetic boys and their sister, live right across the street from the new houses. They had moved away, closer to the downtown, and then recently moved back in the area. As they are now getting older, participating in the entrepreneurial side of this project should fit just perfectly with their development. My neighbor across the street works mentoring young boys, and his cousin works to apprentice youth on rehabbing houses in Peoria. My neighbor across the alley works with youth in a program she developed herself. My other neighbor fixes cars, always including his own kids and grandkids, and is eager to make use of the garage to do this work. It is like the perfect storm of willingness. It never ceases to amaze me the way life unfolds. When I let go of fear and trying to control the world, those things that are most needed for what I am meant to do appear just in time. Today I especially feel and see the support all around me. There is so much goodwill for this project. I know I just need to open the doors for those who are here to participate and help to arrive.
