Should you enter a pageant

I am home from the Miss BC Pageant. What a ride. Probably I should unpack all of that in a separate post, but here are the highlights:

I didn’t win a title.

I did get a nasty stomach flu.

I still loved the experience.

My natural pageant face

When I entered the Miss BC Pageant, I was drawn to how wonderful it is that the women in the pageant can be their natural selves. There is no limit on weight, no height restrictions, no bathing suit competition, and you aren’t asked if you are a natural born female. This is truly a personal growth pageant that asks the question: are you a leader?

I was so relieved by this. I’m carrying about…
