For the past four years I have been blessed with the opportunity to become a part of Enchanted Makeovers as a team member and exclusive photographer of the organization. Terry Grahl and I experienced an immediate soul connection upon meeting in October of 2008 while discussing the topic of our belief in synchronicity, signs and miracles. As I listened to Terry express her passion, dedication and determination to improve the lives of women and children living in shelters, I knew in my heart that she was genuine and that her life purpose through Enchanted Makeovers would grow in ways greater than what she could have ever imagined. Since the creation of Enchanted Makeovers, Terry has been an instrument of hope, encouragement, inspiration and love to all of those around her. Whether you are a volunteer, a woman residing within a shelter, or a fellow team member of EM, you will be sure to experience Terry's passion for helping others recognize their own inner strength, beauty and unique ability to overcome all of life's obstacles. My life, along with the lives of so many women and children will be forever changed because of Terry and the leap of Faith that she had taken in order to create such an incredible organization. I am truly honored to stand by Terry's side, while capturing every beautiful moment of Enchanted Makeover's journey.

Terry Grahl, Founder of Enchanted Makeovers, is most assuredly immersed in the experience of helping others change attitudes about their own self-worth. She embraces those who intimately need uplifting and empowerment through an intense and laser-like focus that is awe inspiring. While others may find a challenge daunting, Terry accepts the challenge as an inner calling...her destiny...making a difference in lives everwhere. Signed: Jolene

I first met Terry at a luncheon for women from a domestic abuse shelter in 2008. Terry's philosophy of "She is Me" is so powerful, I quickly realized that the makeovers that she provides are so much more than fresh paint and new linens. The (shelter) women are taught that they are deserving of an abundant future and the transformation begins with Terry and the entire Enchanted Makeovers team. I am thankful to know Terry and thrilled to see her journey and vision grow and help so many.

I heard about Terry of Enchanted Makeovers when I was part of a wonderful group called Make Mine Pink. I was amazed at how much she cared about helping others. We spoke on the phone and I discovered that Terry is a very lovely, caring and generous soul. She has worked so hard to transform shelters and bring smiles to those who need it. I wanted to help in a small way, so I donated my Dolls of Hope. If there is anyone in the world that truly cares and wants to make a difference in someone's life, it's Terry. She's an angel among us.

It has been my great pleasure to know Terry for the past three years, and see first hand her dedication, compassion, and incredibel drive to help others. She is an amazing woman, and as founder of Enchanted Makeoves, she gives - and gives, and gives - to others. With her help countless women are learning the skills and confidence to change their lives, and learning that they are worthy of receiving goodness from others. I know Terry will not stop until she has touched every woman and child who needs her. She's a blessing to them...

I connected with Terry in 2010, inspiring me to create the Chica Bracelet which symbolizes the powerful action of banding women together in support of another.
In 2010, her non profit inspired me to create the Chica Bracelet which symbolizes the powerful action of banding women together in support of another, empowering women to live better lives. EM’s mission is to transform shelters for women and children into environments that inspire psychological and behavioral changes.
A haven is created where women and children rebuilding their lives are reminded everyday they hold the ''golden ticket'' to transforming their dreams into reality. I was able to see myself in this message and am hoping that through the women we’ll feature in this column you too will find the beauty in giving and how to can be an agent of change in someone else’s life.

The non-profit Enchanted Makeovers and EM's founder Terry Grahl are in the business of changing lives. I have been a volunteer at events several and the resulting transformations are both inspirational & electrifying. The surprise element when you first get involved with EM is the change it brings into your own life! I have shared with many of my friends and family that I have never met a person with more focus and passion for a project than Terry. With her self-sacrificing heart - EM maximizes every opportunity and really makes a difference in this world.

I am an interior decorator and became aware of Enchanted Makeovers when I was searching for information on how to start an organization to decorate women's shelters. I reached out to Terry in hopes that she would be willing to share a few tidbits of information. I was absolutely awestruck and inspired by her generosity of spirit and deep commitment to her purpose. Shortly thereafter, I learned that she was doing a makeover event in my hometown. I volunteered, to help in any way that I could. Once again, I was awestruck. The event wasn't just a makeover of the facility, it was a transformation... of the environment and of the young women—cosmetically, emotionally, physically and spiritually. There were events within the event that celebrated and affirmed the value of every person there, including all of the wonderful volunteers. It was love made manifest and it shined brightly on everyone's faces. The gift Enchanted Makeovers provided that day will last long after the young women move on into new phases of their lives because what it said to them was "you matter, you are worthy, you are worth it". Volunteering that weekend remains one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.

I first met Terry Grahl four years ago through my daughter, Britni. Britni is a team member of Enchanted Makeovers and is the official photographer for this inspiring non-profit. When I learned what Terry was doing, I was incredibly moved. Her deep commitment of instilling self-worth, hope, and love to women and chilren that are struggling is beyond commendable. This is a personal mission for Terry and as such she brings every part of her being into the renovation of women and childrens' shelters. She transforms their living environments into an enchanted sanctuary of healing. Her message is powerful, her work life changing, not only for those receiving but also for those that volunteer and work along side her.

I am blessed and honored to walk along a path with the amazing men and women of Enchanted Makeovers. Terry's vision of compassion, love, valuing, and truly seeing us as more alike than different, fills my heart with true joy and hope. I have been involved with hundreds of non-profits in my 15 years as an advocate to end violence and I have never seen an organization have the heart that EM possesses and shares with everyone they encounter. Words hardly express the level of change that is created in each of us as we transform space together and transform ourselves. I am a new member to this team and I could not be more grateful to connect with this incredible group. EnchantedMmakeover is revolutionary, brave, courageous, and is changing our world!!! It certainly has changed mine!!!!
