STORY cont….

So this is the beautiful Paramount Theater. Carole took this with her mad camera skills. (she read her book before she came to Chicago)

We made Donna take a lot of obnoxious pictures. She loved every minute of it!

This is the lovely Ben Arment. He is the director and creator and visionary behind Story09! He is exceptional and delightful. He gave us some tees at this point and asked us who we would like to meet. Of course I said Donald and to our disappointment he was sick

There will be a day!

Ben was one of those sort of people that was super interested in what “you were doing” in life. Unlike those “Me MONSTERS” that consume the entirety of every conversation onto themselves. Carole was a beautiful, stunning addition to the group (Carole submitted her own adjectives) and opened a can of worms as she shared all about the DreamCenters that we are a apart of. It was a treat to meet Ben and he encouraged us with his story of Story which was birthed from 4,000 dollars, a dream and some connections. The huge thing was that he jumped before looking. He knew what he wanted and he went for it. He encouraged us to not just give ourselves with part of our lives but with ALL of it in the pursuing of our dreams! Challenging….

I learned a new way to dap.

And here was Carole’s GLORY MOMENT> She will never forget this for her whole life I am sure of it. Although she is over my shoulder right now telling me she is NOT a stalker she was indeed on a search for her “blog idol” and did indeed find him. Los was probably the most down to earth, pleasant blog-star I have meet. He had a hot red leather jacket ever that kindof made me want one.

And this makes me not able to breath cause YES I am obsessed and yes not ashamed! If you haven’t read anything by this guy you are truly missing out on life. He is exceptional. His latest book, “A million miles in a thousand years” tells the story of how he found “life” while editing his life.

The premise is that we are all living a story and that our story’s are determined by us! We create better stories, we create who we are and where we go. It’s compelling to read and a must on my list.

Carole MADE me keep my hair down ALL day! I know, she claims that me and Leuuuuugh need to consider not “up-doing” all the time! Shame. So here’s my happy face… I don’t think a second went by that there was not a smile on this face. It was an amazing day!

Thanks HPC… everyone up here is crazy about our church. So cool that we have left a GRAND impression on people ALL over the world! Hollllla!

MORE to come!
