What can't YOU live without?

Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.  ~Robert Brault

I can't live without positive energy. I continue to find myself absorbed with such wonderful sources of beaming individuals. I feed off of positive thoughts, ideas, advice, and support.


Old habits, mean remarks, jealously, unethical acts are EASY to fall into but who said the easy way was the right way. Sometimes making things right might hinder your pride, might make you want to give up, and might make you want to revert to old ways but you have to start somewhere. And I believe that place is thinking positive with every situation no matter what. I truly believe each person has certain moments and times in there life we haven't planned for ourselves or envisioned. However every step moving forward we are given a chance, a challenge, a hope, a wish to make something right or better or different. Embrace something you never had and most importantly find that WORD that  you can't live without. I have made it a priority to surround myself with what I am seeking in life and help uncover the challenges I face.

Nothing is negative if you find 1 thing positive. I am most appreciative to those who can see each struggle, each unfortunate situation, each heartbreak for what it's worth and make something positive out of it. The only thing that you can control is your energy. If you don't know what to do just be positive and know that something didn't go your way for a reason, a good reason. I can't wait to know what that good reason is. Because for everything that was unfortunate and didn't go my way blessed me with something indescribable.


Ones struggle may be your strength. Open your heart, breath free of judgment, and find one positive attribute in each and every person you encounter. It's amazing how your world can transform when you focus on the positive.

Music is inspiration

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us"

This song is so inspiring to me because I have felt everyone of these lyrics. Music is amazing in the way it shapes how you feel and can change your mood and behavior. Imagine life without music...I can't.....What's your favorite song?

Little Miss Down On Love
Little Miss I Give Up

It'll be alright again

It'll be alright again, I'm okay

The 5 Ss of sports training are:stamina, speed, strength, skill, and spirit;but the greatest of these is spirit.-Ken Doherty

My goal in signing up for the Ragner Relay Race which took place February 25-26 2011 was to build upon my teamwork skills as an athlete. 

As a runner there is a lot of dedication and motivation on the runner. Being in tune with yourself mentally and physically as well as holding yourself accountable easily discourages many from even getting to the fun part, which is seeing changes in your body and the endurance you begin to build and of course...THE RUNNER'S HIGH.... I have trained 2 of my friends and written out running plans to help motivate those close in my life that are interested in building there athletic ability as a runner. The most rewarding feeling has been being idolized as a motivated and ambitious individual who people feel comfortable asking me to help them reach there ultimate goals in running races, recreationally, or try outs for the Cardinals dance team. Thank you Jamie, Jessica, Adam, Mark, Kimber, and Mallory

"Today is March 2, 2011. This morning I purchased a one month unlimited membership for work out classes at Physique 57. For the next month I am challenging myself to be more fit and healthy. In order to stay focused and work hard I am starting an accountability journal. I will be keeping track of my daily activity, the food I eat, and my personal thoughts throughout this experience. Each night I will email my entry to a few people that I know care about me and my well being. You are one of these people and I thank you for being a good friend. Advice, tips, and ideas are definitely welcome. I am fully motivated to look and feel better. A few of my goals include: working out a minimum of 4 times per week, stretching twice a day, eating smaller portions, eating less sugar, not eating red meat after lunchtime, and not eating anything after 7pm. I know change does not occur overnight, but with a positive attitude and a great support system I can do it".

As 1 of the 12 team mates a 200 mile relay race day and night was a priceless experience and an unforgettable one at that.  I successfully accomplished my goal which was to forget about everything that absorbs us in daily life and just run, have fun, and eat lots of peanut butter and chocolate. What I loved most about the Ragner Relay Race was meeting the team mates in person that were in my van. My friend Aimee invited me to do this race with her and without her I would have never dreamt to do something so out of my comfort level. Aimee has inspired me to do the bold and daring adventures that I would never do without someone planting the seed. Aimee and I can now say we have ran in 2 races together and successfully reached our goals as runners. (Mount Lemon, Ragner Relay Race) She is a truly amazing person and I have grown as a person knowing her.I can't wait what our next adventure will be TOGETHER :)

Please check out this amazing race. I will definitely be doing it next year. If anyone is interested feel free to reach out to me.

Miss Arizona Contestant 2011

"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

To all my sponsors and those that supported me with positive encouragement during my Miss Arizona Pageant:


Thank you for believing, for being present, for giving me your special encouragement that allowed me to develop myself into this wonderful, confident, glowing person that I have become. I am a person of strength of excitement and most importantly of spirituality. I am one who doesn’t want to miss a beat to that next rhythm. I carry a smile because I have conquered mind over matter. I am passionate because I only pursue a challenge. I never give up and I never hold back. 


Over the last couple months I have learned a lot about myself as an individual. I have grown in so many ways that I cannot even describe. I have made memories for myself that can never be taken away because there intangible. I have learned that you can never change the face you see in the mirror. I have found that if you know where you come from you know where you are going. I come from a tight knitted family that is surrounded around morals, beliefs, and sense of identity. I chase after challenge, commitment and development.  I truly believe that your roots build the foundation of who you are and I have never been so sure of who I am. I have learned to never lose sight of the big picture and always stay grounded. I am fierce and well rounded yet humble. My biggest challenge is to be still.


There is a place and a time for everyone and I truly believe I have found a place particularly special to me. The most rewarding thing I have treasured as a contestant for Miss Arizona USA is being a coach for the Special Olympics. Putting a smile on someone’s face is the most rewarding thing I have done. Words cannot describe my thankfulness to each and every person in my life. You are dear to my heart and have made me that much more of the person I am today. 


I thank you for knowing, hoping, and believing as those are the three words that I live by. You can only control the goals you set for yourself. My ultimate goal was to be idolized and be seen for the person that I am and my goal was accomplished over and beyond.


I am blessed to be given the opportunity to be a contestant for Miss Arizona. I chose how I wanted to make the experience and I wouldn't change one thing about it.  If there is one thing that I wish for anyone is to do what scares you the most and give it your all and you will never have regret. You can truly do anything that you set your mind to. 


You can do it too! Check out Miss Arizona USA

There are many things in life that will catch your eye

Your energy dictates effort, your time management dictates effectiveness, goals dictate your future, education dictates your confidence, but only you can dictate your presence so make it unforgettable.

It’s not where you begin it’s where you end. Words cannot describe my thankfulness to each and every person in my life. You are dear to my heart and have made me that much more of the person I am today.

I am so excited to be present in this moment and writing my very first blog. I hope all can follow me in my journey of 2011.

There is no better way to begin this New Year with excitement, a smile, and a new chapter. My goal is to utilize this blog to allow everyone to identify, self develop, and connect together   as I begin and continue to shape my future. I have chosen to do this because I enjoy to write and I believe this vehicle is the most sufficient to tie all my connections to one place. My hopes are for every desire and goal I want for myself to be attained. I hope your ready, because I am.
