Early in 2015, a suggestion from Instagram guided me to follow a pretty spectacular cowgirl based on others that were already in my news feed. Instinctively, wanting to know more, I hit "Follow" and began to read her story. Miss Amberley Snyder. An hour later I knew this woman was going places and quickly.
Watching her online audience explode the rest of the year has been exhilarating. Promptly feeling a kinship with this young woman, I scoured the web to find any speaking event of hers that was located near me.
There are snippets of her presentation online, but I wanted to see it, more so I wanted to
feel it. We enjoy the same activities, both started riding horses at the age of three, both of us experienced tragedy and were now speaking of it publicly. What I really desired was a one on one.
It just so happens that my friend, farming partner and the FFA adviser of Bourbon High School felt so enraptured with her testimony at the National FFA Convention last Fall that he brought her to Missouri to speak at three of our local schools and asked if I would like to spend the day with them. That message was sent by text so he didn't hear my artless snorts of, " Well Yeah!"
Listening to her message and watching her influence decisions
that day, anyone could plainly see she was made to provoke thoughts. She moved and spoke with ease, calling attention to ability, motivation and attitude.
Enjoying a lunch between speaking events, I quietly studied this vision of motivation. She has a beautiful, contagious smile for anyone who crosses her path, but it was the genuine look in her eyes that hooked me as a fan for life. She has a naturally, honest heart of a cowgirl with a side dish of sass.
I enjoyed her company, I admire her fight, I praise and respect her ability to share and I loudly applaud her for "getting back on that horse." I urge you to read her story and use it as you need for your own growth.
Her positiveness is palpable. She will continue to crush her life's challenges, succeed in influencing others and I know I will watch her compete in her dream rodeos. I am but a minnow in her sea of followers, but I will be cheering just as loudly as the next at her new found accomplishments.
We all wish you well in your upcoming endeavors and will remind ourselves of your equation to prosperity.
