She Is More

I recently decided to share my story of cyber bullying on She Is More.

Kristen Dalton has an amazing blog, that many of my Miss USA sisters have written for.  It took me several months to write my post, because I didn't know what to say.  I knew until I had a victor's mindset, I could not send it to be published.  I did not want to tell the tale of a victim, but someone who triumphed in adversity.

I'm so blessed and overwhelmed by all the encouragement I've gotten so far, and I'm so happy to share my guest post with you all.

Thank you to everyone that has been a rock on my journey back from recovery, and here's to finally getting this weight off my shoulders.

XOXO,
MacKenzie

The Final Countdown

Hello my lovelies,

Remember several months ago when I said I would blog through the entirety of my business school admissions process...man was I wrong.

I underestimated the amount of time this process would take, and I grossly underestimated how many curve balls life would throw my way.  From the death of my grandmother to a rough job interview, my life has felt out of control at times.  But I've learned that when it feels the stormiest, you are getting close to your blessing and breakthrough.

So rather than go in to detail (because I re-take the GRE in a few days and need to study), I thought I would just leave a nice inspiring quote.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.  It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.  We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?  Actually, who are you not to be?  Your are a child of God.  Your playing small does not serve the world.”

~ quoted in a Nelson Mandela speech, originally written by Marianne Williamson

Until next time,
XOXO
MacKenzie

P.s. My Harvard, Yale and University of Chicago applications go out in less than a week...holy cow!
