Life Changing Events!

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 pageant!! I LOVE that! It is the...Miss Minnesota Collegiate Pageant 2014. I am so excited for this one because the principles of this one is based on acting like a lady and not degrading yourself by showing off in a swimsuit. This really makes it awesome and there is no talent in the pageant either. I think this is screaming my name lol.

The sections of competition are:
-Private Interview (40%)
-Fun Fashion (25%)
-Evening Gown (35%)

See simple stuff which I feel the most comfortable competing in. And another smidgen of a difference would be the entry fee which pays for the needs of the pageant and it is a fee of $250. It's really not too bad compared to others. So this little lady is going to be saving her dollars...if shopping doesn't try to distract me. haha.

And the best thing about it too is I already have all the outfits that I need! How amazing is that! Maybe some accessories are need (wanted :D) but a majority of the most expensive things are gotten.

So Until I do more to prepare or anything else in my pageant life I will blog you later!
God Bless as always! <3

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...

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!...

New Dreams, Challenge Yourself!

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...
