After much contemplation I had to tell Abel Sutton, “I can’t help organize a North Carolina makeover this year. There just isn’t enough time. But what if,” I proposed, “we were to chip away at it and do the makeover next year. That way we could do it right, because, remember, this makeover in particular will be about more than helping a single household (though that’s important). It’ll be about showing that change can happen, that people can be leaders. It’s about being an example and showing that independent makeovers are possible. Are you open to this?”
“Yes!” he said.
Now… to make a plan and get into action.
PS A man willing to commit to a year’s work is a man of power.
