Raising Funds for New Smiles!

Hello guys! So I have noticed that I am getting so addicted to blogging...HAHA can't help it is so much fun to blog about how much fun I am having recently that is pageant related!

So I wanted to make a blog about my fundraiser for my platform...Operation Smile! I have known of this organization since I was little and with having this birth defect of a bilateral cleft lip and palate, I was personally connected with this. When my father would tell me to turn it to a channel the commercial was on for Operation Smile, I felt so bad for those kids who couldn't have the access like I had to doctors and surgeries. I wanted to make a change.

I thought it would be cool to donate to my platform before the pageant to show how much I really do care and want to make a difference. But my boss suggested to do a fundraiser through the month of August for Operation Smile. So I did and I started actually in Mid-July and I already have more then my goal is!

My goal was $240 which is enough for one surgery to a child through Operation Smile. But so far I have $580!!! I feel so blessed that I am being used to make a difference. Now I hope to raise enough to sponsor an operating table, which is $600...seems like it won't be a problem. :) As I continue this fundraiser through August...well when August comes :)...I will update you on how it goes and let you know how much it all comes to!

I also want to take this time to thank my workplace and sponsor in the pageant, Heartland Kitchen & Cafe for letting me do this and my wonderful community for giving to my platform!
Remember you are giving a new smile to a child who is going day to day thinking, "Why am I like this, why was I born this way?" Completely changing lives here.

As I'm Waiting...

I am not sure if you guys are excited to hear if I got this Miss Crow Wing County International 2014 title as much as me but I am going crazy lol!! It has been super hard to focus on school and other things!! I have been praying and praying that God will help those who select the girls to represent their county to see my heart like He does!! Right when that letter comes I will update and probably do a YouTube video lol! Usually when it comes to pageant stuff I get super excited and I can't focus on anything else. I have not a clue why but that is just what happens. There is a purpose that I have this passion. I would haven't thought that I would be a pageant girl but I am super proud to say I am!! Also, I do ask for prayers for the pageant I am now assisting and I have competed in, The Miss Crosby-Ironton Scholarship Pageant. There was a big shake up with this program and I ask please say an extra prayer for us! Thank You! If you are interested in what this program has to ...

MISS BL...ROUND 2!! LET'S DO THIS!

HEY YALL!! It is so close until the up-in-coming Miss Brainerd Lakes pageant! I am super excited! God has prepared me in multiple ways for anything He has planned! I have given it all up to Him!! I am doing my best this time around not to focus so much on what anyone else is doing rather focus on what God has placed in front of me. I seem to fall into this trap of thinking someone else is WAY better than me & I have NO CHANCE in achieving the title. Those thoughts need to be thrown out the window! I have always thought those kind of things when a pageant came about! I try to stop the thoughts but it seemed it just always happened! THIS YEAR is gonna be different. I'm changing my thought process & my whole outlook. I can't wait to make new friends, memories & continue to grow. This will be my sixth pageant...MAYBE THIS IS MY TIME...MY TIME TO GROW AND EXPERIENCE MORE OF WHAT THIS SYSTEM HAS TO OFFER. To be honest, I don't know but I do know I trust God!...

Ekk..Pageant meet Stress, Tiffany have you met stress?!

Wow this pageant is coming so close and stress is building!! I am so excited but I have shed my tears! When we are just learning the pageant opening number...THIS PAST WEEK! ugh and I am so confused on what I do and how the footwork works. my my! All I can say is May God help us all! Seriously. Now for the stress area of this pageant...I have tried to stay composed but I have broken down. Once when I was practicing my talent that was fine. But then the comments from the director brought me down. We had no microphone at the time and so possibly I wasn't as clear and loud as I could be if I had one but she told me that I needed to speak more clearly and louder. Since I had speech therapy when I was younger, I took it to heart and it hurt majorly. I spoke to Lori about it and now it's all good. I was just hurt horribly and I felt it was unneeded for her to say infront of everyone to say how I needed to improve and tell the rest how great they were. Yes they did do amazing bu...
