Well, not we. This expert team from Tucson came in with heavy equipment and a giant shoot that they carefully used to pour the cement into all the nooks and crannies of the frames and footers to become the foundation of our new common house. Thanks to Pen we are on our way to building our little community.
I have spent my life letting Pen provide for me when, if it were up to my own finances, I would have said no. When we were fourteen and in boarding school I was spooked by the idea that Pen had no boundaries when it came to money. Nothing was impossible because of money. Nothing was longed for because of money. I didn't know what to make of it since I was being raised by a single working mom in the 50s and 60s.
I soon figured out that Pen wasn't cavalier about money, it just wasn't a governor on the engine of her life. And because my family didn't have money she refused to let that fact be a governor as well. My mother who was my mentor, confident, and spirit guide told me to relax. "You are just afraid of being beholden. Accepting a gift is a gift--end of story. Equation complete."
I miss my mom almost every single day.
