My Motivation is.......???



Week 3 is here! 🙋Wow, I can’t believe it, the weeks are flying by like race cars! As I write this post, I am thinking to myself why did I say I’m going to write weekly blogs? I’m starting to run out of ideas lol If there is something you would like me to write about, please comment below. That way I can keep my blogs interesting!😃

So week 3, hmmm…. Reflecting on things I still need to still work on….😫

  •         Learning how to use makeup
  •     Walking in 3-6 inch heels
  •     Becoming a healthier me
  •     Fundraising
  •     And soo much more…


You might be thinking, how does Bertha keep motivated when she has so much work to do for a pageant that she has never competed in before? There are two things that keep me motivated….
1)      The hope of inspiring someone during my journey
2)      Teaching people to love their bodies



Preparing for a pageant takes time and dedication. I talked to one of my good friends who has competed in a pageant before and her advice to me was “competing in a pageant is a full time job.” At first I was confused by her statement, but now I understand. Every day, I am thinking and breathing pageant. There is always someone to call, talk to or text, and now blog. All of this can be difficult, so I am constantly reminding myself why I am competing in this pageant. Yea, it will be great to win the crown, but it will be worthwhile if I touch lives along the way.

Love your body for what it is, we weren’t meant to be the same size, texture, color or shape. There is a reason for that, we are all beautiful in our own special ways. I will never achieve a size zero and a size zero will never obtain the curves I have. We are all different and that is okay!👍

For people who already loved their bodies, great!🎊 But you are not done here, go out today and do something out of your comfortable zone! It is not impossible, I am doing it right now. Competing in a pageant is definitely out of my comfort zone. “Limit like fears are often just an illusion.” Remember that, fear is an idea that prevents us from following our dreams.


Tune in for next week…..Vulnerability is…….you fill in the blank.

Throughout these past couple of weeks, I've struggle with writing my blog and everything else. 🙁 As the pageant is only a couple of months away, you would think I would be determine more than ever to compete? Right? Unfortunately, it hasn't been feeling like that lately. It is interesting how everything is interconnected. At my job, I am a consultant and as a consultant, you are always looking for your next project, but it can take some time to find it. So recently, I was on the bench for a couple of weeks and I did enjoy it at first, but it started to drag on. Being on the bench can be plain boring because you are not really putting your knowledge to good use. (At least that is the way I see it, some may disagree) On the bench, I was proactively looking for my next role, but I was getting no responses so I started loosing hope in trying to find my next role. Weeks and weeks would past by and I still had nothing.😢 Looking back, I didn't realize how much work affect

Thank you for joining me again for another blog. Sorry for the delay in posting this one. I appreciate every viewer who looks forward to my weekly blogs. 😀I wouldn’t be telling my story if it weren’t for all of you. You all push me to expand my horizons and write my story. (I know I am not the best writer, but I am trying lol)😃 This blog is going to be a little different compared to some of the others I have written in the past. I want to give a shout out to one of my good friends Jiggy Yoon.  As a motivational speaker, she encourages people to be vulnerable. Her most powerful message is “ Vulnerability is Dope. ” 👍 When I first heard Jiggy’s message “Vulnerability is Dope,” it made me realize that as a society we need to embrace vulnerability more. People view vulnerability as a weakness, when in reality, it is a strength . Sometimes it is hard to allow ourselves to be vulnerable. " Vulnerability is Dope" shirt from Jiggy Yoon. As I embark on this jo

Hello everyone!! 😃 Thank you for joining me on this journey to Miss PA! I hope you are all able to read my weekly post! I think this is a great way for people to know my personal experience with this pageant. Some people may think this is all roses and rainbows, but it is so much more than that. There are some bumps along the road. So if you are interested in hearing about my journey to Miss PA, you are in the right spot! Continue reading..... Many times individuals focus on the destination of their goal, but not the journey. I want to change that mentality and focus on this new and challenging journey. The reason I created this blog is to hopefully inspire some one out there to follow their dreams. I want you all to know that following your dreams can lead to some bumps, but you have to overcome those and look at the bigger picture. My favorite quote of all times is "For every thunderstorm, there is a beautiful rainbow." Who would have ever thought that I would b
