I needed to take this moment to reflect on all the good things that happened today.
1) I was featurued on the GivesMeHope website which receives over one million views per month. They saw my fb status and posted it on their site. This is what my status said:
"I am now a QPR Certified Gatekeeper. This is one of the most nostalgic days of my life yet at the same time gives me hope for a brighter future. I did this for Ryan and now I truly believe that I can help save lives."
I clearly remember writing this status. I had tears coming down my eyes while I was going through training and after when I received my certification. Being a QPR Certified Gatekeeper is one of the most important aspects in my life as I use my training during my seminars, speaking with my Live Out Loud Charity Staff, and in every day life. I can not begin to tell you how many people call, email, or text me about someone who needs help or how they overcame their depression and commend me for what I am doing. I thank God for leading me in the right direction. Ryan you will be missed forever.
2. I met with some of my LOLC staff today for our upcoming fashion show. Being told that I touch lives and how awesome I am... is quiet remarkable. It's almost like I'm listening to them as if I am someone else.... like this can't be me! LOL I am blown away, and honored to be in a position as a leader. And the number one thing I have to say is that MY MODELS, STAFF, VOLUNTEERS, and FRIENDS, inspire ME. And I thank all of you.
3. I received a letter today from the National Association of Professional Women that I was approved for my 2010 membership. I never applied for this and after looking at their website I found this association amazing beyond belief. I am honored to be a part of the National Association of Professional Women. To consider myself at their level at my young age is overwhelming. I have so much to learn from them.
Once again thank you for reading... until next time... take care & love you all!

Best Day of My Life
I can't even begin to tell you how gracious I am and how blown away I am by the positive response I received from people today. Ok here is what happened:
Last night I find out from a fan of mine by the name of Carey, that there is a link out there featuring me as one of the Editor's you should follow. I was so blown away that these people chose me and 9 other awesome editor's as their favorites. They also highlighted my Dare to Dream Fashion Show and Launch Party that took place in December last year. Then this morning I woke up to tackle the day head on. I had appointments, scheduling, etc. And in the midst of everything I was notified that I was selected as a True Titleholder and they featured me with a full page on their website. I couldn't believe this and still can't! I am honored. So then I put this on Facebook and everyone was congratulating me with either wall posts or fb messages. Thank you so much everyone! You truly keep me going and inspired. NEXT (yes there is more!!) I found out that I was awarded Favorite Editor by the FFF Editor's Association!! I COULD NOT BELIEVE THIS! They did a full article on me! My mom was so proud that she posted it on her facebook. I havn't even notified everyone on my page yet ;)
Lastly but certainly not least there are 2 more things. I submitted an application for the SIFJ Society of Independent Fashion Journalists for both myself and Tiara Magazine. Guess what?!? Both applications were approved and we are now members. I am so proud and just over flowing with Joy. Last but not least I came across a website for an online mentorship program that ties faith into mentorship. I filled out my application and I await their response. Yes this is one of my big things to celebrate because I really hope I get selected as a mentor. It would be a dream come true because I would be helping more people. How awesome is that!! As always my loves, thank you for reading my blog. God Bless.

Pretty Princess Tea Party with Miss Illinios, Miss Teen Illinois, and Mrs Illinois
Today I attended the Pretty Princess Tea Party held as the Indian Lakes Resort. I originally met Jennifer Naida after inviting her to Tirage Studio's Grand Opening in April. I was delighted when she invited me to this event. I was able to meet Miss Illinois International Ashley Newman and Miss Teen Illinois International Sarah Bertrand. They were both lovely and all four of us had a great time. I linked each title holders name to their personal website so you can read about each one's platform. It is incredible how us titleholders work so hard for the causes we believe in. Aside from discussing the International competition and the state competition (which I compete in this August for the title of Miss Illinois) we also spoke to all the little princesses attending the event. Below are some of the images I had taken with my camera. Later Ashley Newman's father is going to send us some pics from his awesome camera.

Glen Ellyn Farmer's Market
I thought it would be fun to check out the Glen Ellyn Farmer's Market. Everyone there was really nice. I thought it was so neat when I met a woman who told me about the company she works for in Ohio. Below are images and information on the company:
"The world’s largest basket lies in the land of Ohio, USA. This mega basketcase is the headquarters of Longaberger, a famous basket company.
This is truly an impressive work of architecture with its seven stories and unique basket features. The inner atrium includes a soaring glass ceiling, through which you can see the basket handles on top of the roof.
Just imagine how busy this basket would be during peak tourist season!"
Wouldn't it be fun to work for a company that looks like this!!!
Supplies 4 Success is an organization that support. I am a member of the Glen Ellyn Fashion Show Committee and we are having our annual Fashion Show on November 7th at the Abbington Banquets. Last year a portion of the proceeds raised went to Supplies 4 Success. We are supporting this organization again. I have another blog post explaining all the facts regarding this much needed organization. Here is an image explaining what we need:

Dogs-N-Scrubs Ribbon Cutting & Grand Opening
I love the owners of Dogs-N-Scrubs and I also love the concept behind the store. It is a self serve dog wash and the food they offer is high quality and/or organic. I was pleased when Dogs-N-Scrubs asked me to make an appearance at their Grand Opening. I love supporting the local businesses of Glen Ellyn.
