Fundraising & Practicing...MY LIFE!

Hello everyone! So quite a bit has happened since I talked to you last!

First, CONGRATS to my buddy Savannah Cole who was crowned Miss Minnesota 2014!! I am seriously so proud of her. But I am, of course, so proud of all my buddies who competed for the title. Love y'all! I hope to be in your shoes next summer as I go for the title of Miss Brainerd Lakes 2014 on October 18th! Save the date!
As I mentioned before, every Miss America contestant has to raise $100 at the local level. I am so excited to say, thanks to God and my community, $100 was raised! I can't even imagine how many smiles these donations will create for families who need it. If you still want to give you are more than welcome to! I will still raise funds for CMN, go to my donation page to do so!

Second, since I raised the required amount for CMN (and still going) I want to do more for my personal platform, Every Smile is beautiful. Which is all about cleft lip and palate awareness since I was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate I really want to make a difference...because it only takes ONE to make a change. Through the Operation Smile website, I created a fundraising page. All funds go DIRECTLY to Operation Smile. The goal is $240, that is the amount for one surgery for one child. These surgeries are done by amazing professionals donating their time in third world countries (ex. Ethiopia, Ecuador, Cambodia, & more) and they only take 45 minutes. Please give ANY amount possible! Thank You & God Bless!

Much Love,

This Saturday is the day!

Wow it is finally the week of the pageant! But it is not cool that I also have 2 tests this week. Ugh I'll manage, through God I will prosper! So I have been practicing mad hard and praying about it! I feel confident and comfortable! Not overly confident where I am thinking 'I got this in the bag' but ready to have fun and ready for what God has planned! I just am nervous that if I don't get anything that I will get sad and really upset! Hopefully I will be happy and have fun no matter what. If I were to capture the title, I would hope to impact others and prove that though I was born with a birth defect... God has a bright future for me and I am able to succeed just by competing! I would love to help out anywhere I could! And hope to be that role model for girls that I always had which was a confident girl who isn't perfect but isn't afraid to be themselves! Well it's getting late and I have a test tomorrow...ekk! Til next time. -Tiffany A Pageant...

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 ...

Pageant Paths!

By
Some pretty cool things have happened recently. So I recently (finally) got an email back from the Miss Minnesota Collegiate Pageant about signing up and she said that they will keep me on the update list and such so thats sweet! Also tonight I noticed that one of my friends put on Facebook that they were thinking of doing the Miss Brainerd Lakes/Central Lakes Pageant and I was telling them to do it. I told them also that I would be willing to help her practice and prepare for the pageant. Then another friend of hers and mine  asked me if I could do the same for her. SO now I am coaching both of them! I am SO FREAKING HAPPY AND EXCITED! I feel that this is why God has me continuing in pageants, to help others and share the Good in pageants. That is my current situation in pageants and I love it. Sunday we are going to spend the day together by going to get their talent outfits and then starting practice. Shall be a good time! Until then I will keep you updated on how their an...
