Watermelon Queen!

Hey guys!  I know it's been forever since I've posted, so let me catch you up a little bit!

Back in January, I won the title of the South Carolina Watermelon Queen and since then I have been traveling promoting the Watermelon Industry!  It has been such a wonderful opportunity, I work with the SC Watermelon Association and also the Agriculture Department promoting the health benefits of watermelon!  How easy is that?!  Soon I will be posting some of my recent photos from my travels as the Watermelon Queen!

And as you also will take notice...the title of my site is "Dream it, Believe it, Live it" ...and my lifelong dream has been to one day become a famous country music singer/songwriter.  Well here's a secret! .....I just finished recording my FIRST CD in NASHVILLE with FIVE of my orignial songs on it!  My CD will be out by the end of the month and I am working on my website to begin promoting and selling my CDs! 

I also shoot my FIRST COMMERCIAL this year that is on air NOW in North Carolina, on the public service station of North Carolina, advertising their gas company..gas logs, gas grill and gas fire pit!  So YES, that is ME on your TV! :) Stay posted on my progress with pursuing my dreams!

I am a dreamer...I think the generation that I come from is a generation of dreamers, people who believe that anything can happen for them if they just put their heart in it!  And that's why the title of my blog is "Dream it, Believe it, Live it" ...YOU have to be the one who BELIEVES in your DREAMS...and once YOU believe in them, others will see that spark you have and then you can start LIVING your dream!  I'm just here to help motivate that mindset and fuse your passion by sharing my passion with you!

Do what you love!

The Modeling Biz...

So here I am fresh outta college with the wind at my back and the sky being the limit!  For some reason I thought that maybe once college was over my life would just sort of begin itself in some miraculous way....boy was I WRONG!  It has been almost six months since I've graduated college and here is the last six months in a nutshell:  Charleston, home, Florida, Georgia, home, Florida, home, Charleston, home, Charlotte, home.  Do you see the pattern here?  It never fails that I end up back at home! LoL...not necessarily a bad thing since I am practically unemployed and living at home with my expenses paid for, but I'm ready to find something to do with my life and still just trying to figure out what that something is.  But I guess that probably is a process that I am going to face my entire life:  figuring out what to do with it.  

Recently, I have had some really great opportunities at making it.  I been associated with a modeling agency for about five years now and now that I am finally graduated and have an opened calendar I have been getting booked for several promotional events pretty frequently...THANK GOODNESS!  But my greatest excitement came from discovering I was approved and asked to come interview to be the next Miss Sprint Cup for NASCAR!  Given that I knew NOTHING about NASCAR and only that this would provide a great way for me to start a foundation for my professional modeling career!  So naturally I went straight to the web and printed out the whole history of NASCAR, even going as far as purchasing "NASCAR for Dummies" from Amazon.com and having it expedited to my house! LoL.  Then came my interview, I was all cleaned up and prepared and ready to get in there and show these folks everything they could want and more for a cute lil' southern NASCAR girl!  The interview went great, the people seemed to really love me and then when the time came for me to get a callback for the last interview process I got scratched off the list! BLAH!  

Thankfully, to my many experiences in life, I have learned to handle rejection positively ...that sounds kinda like a paradox, but okay, I have managed to be positive!  Once I got in touch with the agency that linked me up with the opportunity to tell them that I didn't make it to the next round, is when I received an email back saying well this biz is 99% rejection and 1% acception ....couldn't have realized that this statement was soo true and that if I wanted to really pursue this type of thing I was going to have to get myself in GEAR!  So there you have it...I'm ready 2 get n2 gear and move up in this competition!  I've dreamed it for a long time...I've finally found belief in that it can happen and now I am ready to live it and pursue it, actively!  This is why I linked my blog as:  CloudOfDreamz.blogspot.com ....because I am a dreamer, but different from other dreamerz, I believe my dreamz can come true!
