Our other opportunity came with Michelle Borquez Thornton.  Michelle had been a facebook friend for quite some time.  I didn't know her, nor she me but she said something "caught her eye" with all of my postings and she was led to call me.

Our first phone conversation was over an hour long, if I recall correctly now and we learned how much we had in common.

Michelle is launching many new projects this year and we will be a part of most of them:  Bella Women Network (which we talked about having a video blog with), God Crazy Experience (which my daughter and I will be a part of with twenty other women in leadership roles, holding conferences across the nation for women and young girls), Dream, Hope, Love (a foundation for training and mentoring young girls) and Shop Bella Style where we will be consultants (women's on-line clothing shop: www.shopbellastyle-renken.com).

On our way to Dallas!!

In Dallas.

Coffee, coffee!

Almost to Kim Vastine's house, where she hosted eight of the God Crazy Team!  Thank you, Kim and what a wonderful and special woman she is!!

Well, here we are!  At the the studio and readying ourselves for the shoot.

Holly is acting Assistant Directory for Michelle and all the God Crazy business.

Just ready to "go out the door"...

On May 4th Holly and I ventured, for the second meeting, to Dallas, TX, where we did a photo shoot with the God Crazy Team.  Beautiful, beautiful women of God!!

Photo is dark and blurry because it's from a private, personal camera rather than the professional one being used for these photos.

One - out of the over 600 photos - will be chosen for the front and back covers of God Crazy Freedom.
