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,

Raising Funds for New Smiles!

By
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!

By
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!...

PAGEANTS ARE COMING!!!!!!

By
Hey Y'all!! So it's been a while haha. Well let me let ya what has been going on pageant wise in my life. So I have been planing on which pageants I was going to compete in this year, of course in the MAO (Miss America Organization). At first I was going to compete for the title of Miss Midwest but it is actually a little too far for me to travel to. And just randomly speaking, if I were to get the title I felt it wouldn't be fair if I couldn't completely commit to serving out the job. So I will not be competing for Miss Midwest but the next closest one would be Miss Coon Rapids. :) With Miss Coon Rapids, it is much a little closer for travel comfort and it's close to my sister, brother-in-law, nephew, & niece. Also it's a close place to an awesome shopping center! I cannot wait to see where God takes me in pageants this year. So far in this new year He has blessed me with a incredible new job & an incredible closer relationship with Him. I have le...
