The Story Behind "I Surrender This"
Once upon a time, oh around three years ago, there sat a woman desperate for some relief over the fear she was feeling knowing her son was about to go to war. She looked up to the heavens with tears streaming down her face and begged the Universe to help her to handle this. As a mother who was often told by her children that she was "over protective", she felt hopeless in her ability to ensure the safety of this beloved  child, who she still sometimes viewed as this small toddler below.
In a roar of thunder and a sprinkling of angel dust, the Universe answered her with the simple message of Surrender. "Put this child into My hands", said the Universe, "and I will care for him like no one else".
"You will?", she pleaded.
 
"Why of course", said the Universe. "This child is one of my own, as are you and every person on your Earth. Whether you are in body on Earth or in Spirit here with me, you are cared for and forever protected."
 
She began to cry harder and in her tears she felt the weight of the world being lifted from her. This gift the Universe had given to her, this gift of Surrender, was immense. She understood in that moment that when you let go of human control and put your life or the life of a loved one into the hand of God, then all things are perfect, whatever they may be, for we are One with God.
 
She knew she could not hold onto this message for her own. She had to share it with others. It had brought her joy, relief and miracles and she felt it her Divine purpose to tell others about it throughout the world.  She felt it could be helpful to others struggling with the deployment of a child. She saw it standing next to a hospital bedside with visitors putting their words of Surrender into it for the patient. She saw people with addictions taking it into their hands each day and again Surrendering to their "Higher Power". There was no limit to those it could help. She saw people waving their white flags all over the world and living in peace and without fear.
 
She would call this idea, this concept and this gift from God, "I Surrender This". She would write a book that told of her story and how to use Surrender. Without ever sculpting before in her life, she sat down with a mound of clay one Sunday morning and sculpted the hand for "I Surrender This". Oh, the magic that was occurring was breathtaking.
 
She found an artisan in Indianapolis who could re-create this hand for her in resin. She found a webmaster to create a website. She found 100% organic cotton to make the flags. She found a very special paper that was the most environmental paper in the land to create her "I Surrender This" pads. All over the U.S. she found people to help her with this project, for this product would be made 100% in the United States. That's right, no outsourcing here. Nothing made in China for her. She wanted this product to stand out against the onslaught of foreign made products that filled the shelves in America. 
 
Quality was her mantra, for she wanted "I Surrender This" to last a lifetime. She wanted it to be handed down from generation to generation filled with the love and Surrender of countless lives. The tears and fears, the blessings and miracles, the energy of a life held in the palm of Gods hand.
 
And so today, what started out as a cry for help in a moment of desperation and grief, has now become something tangible, something others can use too. It is a gift from God, and this woman, who is me, hopes it will bless you as much as it has blessed me.

Recently my son deployed once again to a land far, far away. Will you Surrender with me, for the safe return, unharmed of my son. 
 
With blessings of  Surrender, I honor your journey,
Lisa Sullivan
