Subject: hurt by rumors

I have heard from several people that there is a very hurtful rumor about me going around in the pageant world. I don't know who started this rumor, but please stop talking about me. First of all, let me start off by saying, that I grew up competing in pageants for over 16 years. I got back into pageants last year to get myself back in shape and try to reach one of my dreams of winning Mrs. TN America and going on to compete at Mrs. America. I got back into the pageant scene, because I LOVE pageants and have missed being in them and around pageant friends. I have had the chance to compete in many pageants the past year and have done very well, and feel like I am an advocate for the mrs. groups. Just because you reach a certian age, doesn't mean you have to stop on following your dreams. There are many beautiful women who compete in pageants, and many beautiful pageant moms that need to compete themselves. With that said, I compete in any pageant I can find that has my division in it. There are many pageants that have a mrs. and many more directors that are adding them." The rumor is that I have gotten back into pageants because I can't have a baby and I married my first cousin!!!!!" Whoever said that are started that needs to stop. You don't know me and that is the absolute most horrible thing I have heard. I can have a baby if I want to. I chose not to right now, because I have a tumor on my pituatory gland and take medicine for it that cause birth defects. The doctors don't want to remove my tumor right now, and I don't want to take the chance right now and bring a baby into the world that is not healthy. Second, I didn't not marry my first cousin. My goddness, my married last name is Brown and my madien name is Tutor, if that is not proof enough!!!! I married Derek Brown and his sister Deidre Brown married my cousin John Tutor!!!! My husband and I are not related at ALL!!!!!! Get your facts straight before you start spreading horrible rumors about me and my family. Thirdly, I don't look my age and I like that. I work in the skin care business and I know many secrets on how not to age your skin. I am good at what I do at the spa and in my career, I am good at pageants as well. I am not trying to toot my own horn, but I have won many titles, and have coached several girls and a married woman too, and they have won and done well in pageants. My dream is to capture that Mrs. TN crown, and I am determined to do that. Every pageant I compete in until then, is a stepping stone of building my confidence, getting more stage experience and learning more for my other future plans. I would one day like to have my own pageant system and modeling studio. Why not compete now in the pageant world and see what is going on and how I can make things better for my pageant system and you can always learn more about modeling tips and how to improve!!!I think Alica Miller and Donna Butts are absolutly awesome and it is so wonderful to see how successful they are. They are my role models!!!! I would love to work for them one day. I admire Donna Butts so much and her daughter Brandi. They to me are the reason pageants are so awesome now. Brandi is a superstar and so is her mom. They have set the pageant standard of today's pageants, compared to the pageants in the past. I just wanted to clearify the horrible rumors about me and let you know the real reason I am competing again. It is not because I am unhappy in my life, it is not because I don't have a child right now, it is not because I am trying to re-live my youth, it is BECAUSE I have goals and dreams for myself. I am just know finanially able to get back into pageants, and really focus on myself and my dreams. I am settled and happy in my marriage, I have a wonderful husband who supports me and a great pageant mom who loves me. Getting back into pageants has actually saved my mom's life. She know has something to look forward to in her life and she has been through alot of bad things in the past four years. See, my daddy died of lung cancer four years ago. My mom has been so depressed, and pageants have actually brought back joy in her life and helped her make friends that have been there for her. It had bonded us back together as mom and daughter. I promised my dying father that I would continue to follow my dreams. I regretted not going on to compete at Miss Tn as a teenager. I feel like the Lord has opened doors for me back into the pageant world, that I thought were closed for me. So, all I can say, is look out pageant world, cause here I come. Win or lose, I know I am a winner in my heart, and I have found my crown inside of me and have not had this much self respect and confidence in myself than I have had this past year of competing. I am so excited to see what the Lord has in store for me in 2010!! I know I will be on the Mrs. America stage one day, I know I will have a precious baby when the Lord is ready for me and my husband to have His gift, and I know that my job career and pageant career will continue to flourish with the Lord's blessings. To the person who has started this rumor. I want you to know that I am praying for you. I wish you would stop and not judge someone until you know them. Please get all your facts straight before you try and hurt someone. Life is too short, if you would just understand that and realize that we all are here on this earth for a reason and it is not to hurt people, it is to lift people up and glorify the Lord in all we do and say.
