enchanted makeovers: terry grahl's inspired business


terry grahl emailed me to share the story of her inspired (and inspiring) business called 'enchanted makeovers', whose mission is "to transform shelters for women and children into heartwarming havens, forming the catalyst, for all whom become involved, that creates the realization that everyone’s dreams can come true."

terry's story is pretty amazing, as she started this journey by answering a call to volunteer in transforming a shelter in michigan, all the while running an interior decorating business. she gradually gave up her decorating business to start 'enchanted makeovers', which is a not-for-profit volunteer organization. {you can read her full story right here}.



“abundance is found in the most unexpected places. it is profound in its simplicity. terry grahl, founder of enchanted makeovers shows abundance to “at risk” women and children in shelters by transforming their surroundings. a woman, can see past the blur of her heart ache just for a moment as she lays in the comfort of an enchanted bed, peering at the words on a wall. it gives her a glimpse of the abundance that she deserves and can receive.”

please visit the enchanted makeovers website to learn more and possibily even get involved. here are 10 ways you can help.

*thank you, terry, for sharing your inspiring work!*
