RISE, A Modern Guide for the Purpose Driven Woman Summer 2014 | Page 21

I gained so much during the journey to this crown and learned a lot about what I was made of & the importance of stepping out of my comfort zone… surrounding myself with the right help. It is a great lesson to carry through to our business lives as well. Thinking and living outside the box with the right team can take you places! It was a team victory and a life changing moment which just furthers my family’s purpose driven life. It doesn’t escape me that I got to know some of the most amazing married women in my state, women I may have never met without the pursuit of this crown. I am excited about teaming up with Marianne again as my coach, for Nationals where this journey will continue and I will have the opportunity to meet amazing women from all over our country! I look forward to spotting a women like myself and encouraging her to be a part of this experience; it’s tremendously exciting to think I might have an impact in the lives of those wanting to compete. I have gained a whole new respect for the pageant world and part of my efforts this year will be to help spread that word. I want to expose this platform and opportunity to as many amazing women as I can. The opportunities presented to me in this last month alone have been far beyond my wildest expectations. The Monday after the pageant I was interviewed for a segment on a local channel and offered my own fitness/health segment and a pilot for my own show! This is truly a life-changing experience. Now it’s on to compete for Mrs. America on August 29th in Tucson, Arizona. One of my passions is to inspire women that it’s never too late to walk in your purpose. Having a family is not an excuse but the greatest reason to let go of fear and walk in the fullness of your life’s calling. My family and I are on a mission to leave a legacy of total health and freedom to this next generation. And who knows, I may just be doing that as your Mrs. America!
