'Feeling Free To Be Me' is my new "personal motto". It is also my message to the masses. As a "personal motto", 'Feeling Free to be Me' transforms itself into an intimate and individually empowering way of life. Five simple, seemingly insignificant words that when put together has as many meanings as it has individuals who embrace the concept. Just as each individual has their own unique set of fingerprints, so they too possess an individual set of qualities, that when freely shared can change the world around them into a happy, healthy, more productive place. "Feeling Free to be Me" has changed my life and I FEEL the need to share this. What does the phrase 'Feel Free To Be You' say to you? What type of qualities come to the forefront of your mind? Do you feel a sense of empowerment? Try it! I guarantee you'll experience "FEEL GOOD" time of your life!

Attending Miss Brigham City Peach Days and Miss Murray Pageant

I had an enjoyable time at both of the ‘Miss Brigham City’ and ‘Miss Murray’ pageants I attended. The sad part was that my camera was not working during the Miss Brigham City Pageant. However, I do have a wonderful program to help with the memory of the great evening.
At both of these pageants, once they began, WOW, the excitement and talent never stopped.
Miss Brigham City was on Thursday, September 10, 2009. This Pageant is also tied into their annual Peach Days celebration. Among the many assets of Brigham City is the history and heritage that exists. Started in 1904 as a day-off from the harvest and time to celebrate "an abundance of the best peaches in Utah", this city-wide event is the longest continually celebrated harvest festival in Utah, and is reported to be the second oldest in the country. Peach Days is an honored tradition that brings approximately 75,000 spectators a fun-filled weekend that the Top of Utah and Southern Idaho residents look forward to every year. The event takes place in September, the weekend following Labor Day.
Attending the Miss Murray Pageant, Saturday, September 12, 2009, I learned that there is a story of tradition there as well.

Above is Little Miss Murray 2010 MyKenzy Ford - It just happens we lived by her when she was just a baby.  What an exciting reunion to meet up with her mother and father!

Brittney, wearing my crown, is one of my favorite Special Olympians when I coached at the Summer Special Olympics several years ago.  She loved wearing my crown.  I was so happy to see her!
