Then I had a vision of me and 30 other women on stage, all dressed in gorgeous gowns. When I looked around, I didn’t see me as the ‘scarred lady’ in the middle. When I looked around, I saw their life scars too. I saw their insecurities. I saw their life battles. I saw their pain. I saw their triumphs. I saw their scars too and I felt included. I was just like them! So, I bravely followed that God push and competed.
2021 was my 3rd year competing for the title and each time has been filled with personal growth and connection with incredible women. Learning so much about myself, and that broken little girl healed a bit more each time I did the pageant prep and experienced the magic of pageant week. Putting the pieces of that shattered childhood dream firmly together as I gradually improved my skills in this sport of pageantry.
At 50 years old, this once very broken little girl, won the title of Mrs. Colorado 2021! I am deeply blessed and honored to be the title winner. Carrying this prestigious title and wearing this incredible crown validates all that I share in my message as an inspirational speaker. Our true beauty really does radiate past any scar of life, if we let it. Inspiring others to not let any insecurity, doubt, fear or pain of life stop us from doing great things. And sending the powerful message that when you deeply love and believe in yourself then anything can happen. God truly does bring Beauty from ALL Ashes of life.
“Be bold in faith, lead with love and never be afraid to shine your True Beauty.”
