I hope that this newsletter finds
everyone well. I am so excited for the holidays to be approaching.
It is a time when my entire family gets together to reminisce about what was
and what is to be.
As we celebrate Thanksgiving, I would like to tell you a few of the things that I am "Thankful" for (and yes, I know you’re not supposed to end a sentence with a preposition)!! A bit of English humor.

This has been such an incredible year for
me and I am so grateful for all of it. The Good, the Bad and the incredibly
indifferent! I have gotten to meet and work with so many amazing people.
And for that I am truly thankful! I get to work with the most fabulous
Board of Directors. I got to go to Miss America with a large contingency of
Missouri Girls including the wonderful Adria Andrews who placed well in the Top
10. Jade Sinclair, Vicki Valentino,Trixie LaRue,Diva Coppafeel, Nadia
M.Lewis,and Moltyn Decadance - who was a
Representative of California.
The convivial spirit that is around me when I am at a pageant is inedible. This Sisterhood, this Legacy, this FAMILY, is something that I am so proud and honored to be a part of. In short, I am THANKFUL for you and all of the wonderful experiences that you have given me thus far!! I would like to on a personal note thank you all for your thoughts and well wishes on the passing of my Uncle. He was an amazing man. He taught me how to love and respect life and people and every experience that comes your way - to learn and grow from everyone and everything around you and to help other people. He once said, "You'll never know how to be a man if you don't see one" and he led by example. And as I can tell you, it takes a Hell of a man to raise another man's son. So thank you Mr. Leonard.
Thanks and a huge shout out go to my Fairy Godfather, Daniel Flier who is always there with words of encouragement and a helping hand! And to Emilio Olvera for always helping me be the best Miss Missouri that I can be.
