A FEW WORDS FROM SR. MS. GLOBAL UNITED

10/27/12

Greetings All! 

I have been so honored to represent the new era of seniors as the 2012-13 Sr. Ms. Global United!  What a busy couple of months I have had since the pageant. 

Here are a few of my activities as I am committed to my duo platforms of Isaac's Foundation and suicide prevention:  
Minnesota State Fair 8/12, Relay for Life, Fairgrounds, AL, MN 8/12,

Susan Koeman Zumba Party @Armory (Isaac's Fdnt. Table) 9/12,

Patriot Guard Mission, Escort Traveling Wall 9/12, Speaker, AL Toastmasters Club 9/12, Visiting Royalty/Speaker, Division TM Contest 9/12, Eaton Sport & Spine Center Fundraising Day for Isaac's Fdnt. 10/12 & 10/26 - $300 donated by my friend Jacque to Isaac's Foundation, Judge for the Twin Cities Model Search @ Bessie's Boutique 10/18/12/appearance on Pageant Live, Micah 6:8 Project, 10/23/12, Adopted ongoing fundraising for Isaac's Foundation. ...I'm off to a good start with more plans for the near future!

I want to share with you an epiphany I had yesterday morning. This photo shows me joining our local ZUMBA Instructors to raise funds for cancer.  This event was held in our local National Guard Armory, which is huge.  There was a massive turnout of Zumba enthusiasts.  I got a vision yesterday related to exercise and suicide prevention.  As a Fitness Instructor, I want to organize a (Power Walk) 'Out of the Darkness' as a future endeavor!  Since as we all know, the winter season precludes walking outside, I plan to hold this walk indoors with all proceeds benefitting the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention!  So, stay tuned to hear more as this development comes to fruition!

I have many thoughts of future endeavors, so we'll see what the future holds! 

I am so humbled to have the opportunity to help others.  Out of my greatest tragedy, I am building a bridge of Hope!  I have found my life's purpose and have a bigger voice to be an advocate as a titleholder.  Thank you to the best Pageant and Pageant Director for giving me this chance to discover, in even small steps, what one woman can do to leave this world a better place!  :)

Love to all my pageant sisters!  Miss ya!
