Oh man...learning new things in a short amount of time!

By
Wow guys! So recently I have been practicing by myself with this up in coming pageant! But tonight I practiced with some friends who truly know their way through this system!

We focused on walking a lot and swimsuit! I feel I got that down pretty dang well! But I kept bouncing or swinging my arms...I finally got 'er! Lol! The poses are so much fun! They even named one after me entitled "the Tiffany Paul"! HAHA I love it!

Then we practiced Evening gown! That went good but at times I went a little fast but then I slowed down. Then I forgot to turn my head as I was in one stance to look all over the audience! But I am feeling ready for it!

Finally we practiced interview! That was interesting, very different then my last pageant! But not too hard to learn. I grasped the concept quote quickly and thanks to Vicki ad Savannah, I feel so ready for this pageant and I am not going in this to win (though that would be awesome) but to have fun and make friends!

To all who feel like your dreams are out of reach: NEVER GIVE UP!! I was born with a Bilateral Cleft Lip & Palate! I grew up with half of my childhood at Children's Hospital in Minneapolis! I would not change that for the world! I had 15 surgeries to repair my defect and through them I have grown! God has been there and guided me and He is always there for me! My family keeps me grounded and supports me in what my heart may desire! I graduated high school and am currently attending college majoring in Young Education for my A.S. Degree! I have raised $1,321.25 for my platform, Operation Smile because I wanted to show through my last pageant that I was dedicated to my platform but it just didn't show too much to those judges! But now I am here competing for the title of Miss Northern Lakes 2012. There is a reason I am here and didn't earn a title in my past two pageants! God has a plan and there could be something Major here for me! Go with a Smile and Faith...God will guide you though!

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11

New Dreams, Challenge Yourself!

By
I truly think if you have dreams, please challenge yourself and not settle! I believe that is what I have been doing with pageants. No matter who or what brings me back in, at the end of another pageant I feel these same feelings. It's just not where God has me going in life. Let me paint you a picture of how it happened. It is the end of the pageant, it went by pretty quick and throughout the whole evening I felt off. I didn't feel as confident like I normally do with pageants. I tried my best as I possibly could. They handed out overall (throughout the 3 titles) individual awards. One miss contestant got two the other got one. There were three of us Miss Contestants. As we went up for the title I knew I wasn't gonna get it. The runner up was announced...not me. The title holder....not me. Shocker? No not at all! I've competed for 5 years....7 pageants (including this one) and I've always lost. I've won Miss Congeniality which is such an honor don't g...

Life Changing Events!

By
Hey guys so recently I had a change in heart. So I was truly wanting to compete at Miss City of Lakes...well due to distance and driving I am unable to compete. Which I am okay with that because it just didn't seem right to compete yet after I thought about it and I am certainly not ready. Also during that time of change, I will not name names but, I removed ties with a local royalty titleholder. I felt I was being held back and not being treated how a person should. It was hard at first but after a big prayer, I felt God continue mold me into what He has made me to be. I removed her from my phone and social media accounts including blocking her. There is more into the situation I do not want to make public but I felt like a weight was lifted from my shoulders. I feel free to fly to where God wants me to be and do to the best of my ability! Now on a more positive note, I will be competing in a pageant on Saturday August 17, 2013. I am so new to the system but it is a simple pag...
