Leap of Faith

*A note before you read this. After doing an audit of my blog in 2022, I have decided to leave content that speaks to the Christian I was at the time this was written. I no longer identify as Christian (and haven’t for a very long time.) I chose to leave these posts because it is who I was then and it is important to me to be honest and true with every iteration and evolution of self that I experience. I may decide to add comments to the end of posts like this as well

There are no words for the humbling this has placed upon my heart. I’m just in awe of God and how he’s moved you to generosity (for me?) for me… I pray that you are as blessed as I am at this moment.  If you ordered a piece of art from me, I promise you that my love and prayers will be poured out over them like this.

Thank you all for making my soul sing.  I can’t thank you enough.

I’ve never done anything like this before.

I’m going to take a leap of faith here–I’d LOVE to go to TheRelevant Conference again, but have absolutely no means of making that happen. I mentioned it yesterday and since then, in less than 24 hours, a ticket and a room have become available. (the conference sold out in ONE minute. Not kidding.) Which means I can go *IF* I can find a sponsor or multiple sponsors. Would you like to sponsor me or do you know a company that would pitch in?

Marketing Directors: currently, I have a Klout score of 71 and a Google Page Rank 3. I can give blog stats for marketing purposes. I’m willing to work out a sweet deal with sponsors. I would need a total of around $650 (conference ticket, airfare, hotel, and food) and am willing to enter into a long term agreement with the right company. Last year I attended thanks to Feld Entertainment.

Oh yeah, the conference is in a couple weeks. Oct 27-29th!

Companies, please contact me: MLPendergrass at gmail dot com

Individuals–even $5 would help!

I’m willing to sell art as sponsorship–For $25 I’ll create an 8×10 piece of art for you by Christmas. (normally $50) For you or a gift. You can choose a tree painting, a Visual Prayer, or one of my photos!

You can view samples of my artwork:

2010 paintings

  3. Hi Michelle,

    I saw the notice earlier that you needed 18 more people. Then I saw that you were only 4 away. I really felt the tug to get a painting.

    Blessings
    Honey
