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,

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...

Oh My Gosh!! Today I received an awesome letter. Now I have been trying to get a hold of this pageant for a little while now and finally I got an answer! I have been praying for something to happen in my pageant life and for my pageant dreams to come to pass! The time has come!! As I went and grabbed the mail I was looking through and I seen a crown on an envelope. It read Miss Minnesota International Pageant!!!!!!! I was so excited. I could not wait to open it and see what it had to say. So i opened it and it said on the back that it was the Official Bio-Entry Form Preliminary to the Miss Minnesota International Pageant!! I just about cried! I continued to open the letter and There was an attached form to represent my county in the state pageant! I got so excited that I filled it all out and mailed it with the required photo!!! I wanted to make sure I could be in good-standing to be chosen. I am praying for the best and I am continuing to pray about it and hope that all will be we...
