Grace’s Journey

Meet Grace. I have known this girl for a while now through church. She contacted me to ask if I would take pictures to document her journey through life and her medical issues, which I thought was a great idea. She is strong, bright, and happy. She is optimistic and doesn’t let the world get her down. You‘ll see her here with her friend, Chubbs, and lots of the things that have gotten her through this time in her life, namely friends and family love.

Grace is a sophomore at Tennessee Tech, hoping to become a pediatric oncology nurse. She would like to encourage others to accept their true beauty, and focus on things that are positive. There are always reasons to smile through health and sickness. She is grateful, even through this season in the world and in her life. True beauty and strength comes from within. She recognizes, and wants to inspire others, that they are beautiful, strong, loved, and most importantly, created perfect in the Lord’s image. She’s always smiling and is definitely an inspiration!

Brezeida—Class of 2019

How can this be? I’ve known Brezeida since she was little. Look what a beauty she has grown into! We started her session at Fiddler’s Grove here in Lebanon, and then we went to Lebanon High School where she plays softball. I tried to get her to look mean and tough, but she ended up just looking cute. Haha, not a bad problem to have. AND you do not understand how happy I got when she pulled out her prom dress for softball pictures!! Love this family. I can’t wait to see what happens in her future.

#theempoweringproject

 

This project to empower women in our community has exceeded my expectations!  Iddy and Oscars (on the square in Lebanon) and I have teamed up to empower women in our community the best way we know how, through our businesses.  It may be a small thing, but when I met the women who participated I realized it all starts with a few people being kind, strong, ambitious, gentle, and positive.  Each woman has shared her story and love with us.  Follow along this week on instagram #theempoweringproject to see what beauty they have shown. 

 

Also PLEASE stop by the store to purchase a t-shirt with these ladies' empowering words on it.  Proceeds go to help women in our community.

You are beautiful.  You have worth.  You are strong.  This is what The Empowering Project is all about.  Iddy and Oscars and I have teamed up, and it's awesome to show our community what strength and beauty look like.  These seven women have graciously let us take their pictures and share their stories with others.  Over the next couple of weeks you'll be seeing posts from us and these women on fb, Instagram, and Twitter.  Please follow the hashtag #theempoweringproject, share, and help us to spread the sunshine!  I can't wait to see where this takes us.  Special thanks to Trendz Boutique and Salon and The Beauty Room for hair and makeup.  Also can't forget Iddy and Oscar's!
