Hello everybody! I must say that New Orleans was bigger, brighter and more interesting than anything I had ever anticipated. It’s a city that keeps its secrets but flaunts its past, somehow mingling well earned experience and history with an air of honesty and charm that has been the key to their winning out over the social disasters they caused and the natural disasters that just seem to keep on slamming them.
I did not win the MTI crown, however, I wanted to share with you what I did win. I won the opportunity for many warm friendships; I won my confidence and self-esteem back that has been hiding for quite some time, I won the privilege of seeing the history of one of our oldest states in this beautiful country, I won the privilege of the extensive culinary opportunities this groovy state is known for (though not a fan of Crawfish!) and I won the opportunity to kiss the tomb of from Nicolas Cage's movie, leaving my lips in vivid red on his starkly white pyramid. Don’t get me wrong…..the crown would have been really, really cool, however, I walked away knowing I did the best job I could and, if the club will have me, would like to try this again…..
Thank you for allowing me to represent the wonderful Skyliners club. Thank you for the roses that were delivered to my room which made me feel beautiful and hopeful. Thank you for the ad in the program and thank you for your financial contributions; they really did help so very much.
