Picture: Max & Maxwell Equestrian Photography Horse (named Pickles & Golden below): Equestrian Adventures of Florida Nails: Emerald Spa & Nails Dress (called Poetry): Don’t Stress The Dress

There are some pictures that make you smile and cry in a good way (above and below are two of them for me)…

To me these pictures represent more than a moment caught in time…

They represent something I dreamed about through rehab on-and-off for 2 years. I had 2 pictures that kept me going (+ other things) to keep my hope/belief alive for complete recovery inspite of negative reports.

One of the pictures was of a woman (here is a link: picture -disclaimer not an affiliate link for my blog but just a picture I found) with dark brown hair (similar to me) with a white dress on a white horse on the beach.

The other picture was of Wonder Woman from the ONLY scene I am really into: “No Man’s Land” on the 2017 Gal Gadot version. A friend painted a picture of me as Wonder Woman from that scene and I have it on my wall.

I would look at them and imagine I was fighting to overcome and get back in the saddle of life (represented by riding a horse). When negative thoughts/pain would come especially after another physical therapy session/negative report/starting from ground zero again after a second wreck, I would look at them and tell myself that was me.

Around the same time I had a sponsored trip to Florida, I remember contacting Jennifer Toegel to collaborate. She was amazing and recommended the rest of our Florida team (see tags above) for the website branding pictures in this post and another project. More Details Coming Soon!

She is a world class wedding photographer who is also doing her dream of horse photography. I showed her the 2 pictures that gave me so much hope through physical rehab (to recover fully inspite of the odds) and she brought them to life.

I was honored to work with her to get additional pictures with her horse, Maxwell… He is so sweet.

If you live or are visiting the Daytona Beach area and are looking for a horse photographer/to bring your dreams to life (or wedding photographer), I would 1000% say to go with Jennifer at Max & Maxwell Equestrian Photography or Jennifer-Juniper Photography. She is so talented and a blast to work with…

Finally, if you are trying to overcome things or dream yourself, one tip I use is drawing or finding pictures to go with my written dreams or goals. This works well for those who are visual or like to write. Others may find it helpful to put their dreams in their mind or mind’s eye. Or if you are more auditory you may want to record a list in your phone and listen to it.

Changes To The Website

There are now dropdown boxes on the website viewable if you use your DESKTOP computer (see pic). Under each category are relevant post making it easier to find content in the areas that are most helpful to you.

Feedback

I appreciate all of your notes (I will never share a personal note on this blog about your private life details). I try to read all of them and have someone else helping as well now if I need backup/both here and on social.

Here is part of a note I received from a lady who gave me permission to share it:

“I absolutely LOVE your Blog. What an inspiration Grace … I’m a faithful reader of your Blog too… Love & Hugs Pretty Lady”
