I Am Mrs. Montana International..."HOW? - Since you live in Cali!"

I live in CA, and my husband; Cody Gingras owns land in Montana, and is a Native American tribal member of the Flathead Reservation there. So my marriage to him ties me to his roots, and allowed me to compete for the Title and Crown of Mrs. Montana International 2011!

We move a lot in the U.S., but mostly in the Western States region. I'm a native to the Western States, more so than one State in particular. Montana is one of the only States where we have solid roots of heritage, a history of geneology, and a place where we feel Cody's Father's spirit very strong. A real sense of belonging, and a feeling of being at one with nature.

I was raised in San Diego, CA and I have my own family heritage there, and return often as well. So I guess you can say I'm in one state while my heart is in the other claiming both places at once! These two places are my family's favorite places to be (At the Beach with cousins in San Diego, or at the Pow-Wow in Arlee with 'Grandpa & G.G.').

I am honored to represent Montana, and my husband's heritage. Not many know who the Salish, or Kootenai tribes are (amongst other tribes on the Flathead reservation; like the Cree, etc.) I hope to bring more awareness of their people - to others on an International level as I proclaim my platform of "Boosting B.R.A.I.N. Activity" at the same time!!!

Alternative Trip Plans: I'm going to San Diego, California

After all stops were pulled on my planning and savings for my NC Trip, I have been guided to an alternative route that will have to work for now. Due to my son's dental emergency,

I was able to get contacts closer to me than the North Carolina options. His immediate needs couldn't be taken to NC to be fixed, so my contacts there gave me referrals in San Diego, CA for him. Well, This is MUCH closer to me than NC, so why not use those referrals for myself as well?
I will be able to get the Thermal imaging and safe amalgam removal completed there. I have family in San Diego where I could stay, and drive my own car. The only thing I have not found is the ability to do the dermal ablation through radio waves (shrinks tumors, growths, inflamed tissue).

Right now I'm maintaining, feeling well most the time, with pain episodes that come and go about once a week, and they don't last all day like they use to last September 2010. The alternative healing procedures that I've been doing at home for detox, diet, stress relief, exercise, and supplementation

with essential oils and herbs have made all the difference. I feel like I am conquering the pain and fatigue once again. This is how I was able to heal the first time around... 
I just don't want it to come back again!!!

So in the original 3 part process that I would have received in NC,

I have found 2 out of those 3, and unless I can find a closer referral for part 3, I will still be returning to NC to complete that final step.

I am okay with this, because by doing the first 2 steps closer to home, it will cut down on the cost immensely. No rental car, not hotel, and for now, no plane ticket. This is much more affordable to be able to cover the cost of the actual screening and treatment, rather than try to come up with an entire trip expense to go along with it.

The Thermal images I get in San Diego will show if I am in need of the dermal ablation procedure. I will be having those scans sent to the Screening center in North Carolina to have their team of Doctors look at them, and then they will notify me if I need to come to the hospital there to have the last part of this procedure done. I will also be doing a phone consultation and following the Proven Health Management portion of the NC Screening Center (enzyme approach to supplementation, and preventative program for any future possibilities of disease).

God is truly in the details, and I was doing all I could with the amount of energy I had to get to NC, and get my healing jump-started!

He brought Dylan's emergency into play that interrupted the planning of my trip, and now my course is headed in a different direction all together.

On a side note, I know that this entire experience has everything to do with my platform, "Boosting B.R.A.I.N. Activity!"

I will be sharing this journey with the world in my consistent outreach as Mrs. Montana International 2011.

"Announcing The New Mrs. Montana International 2011...Drum Roll Please...Kimberly Gingras!"

I won!
I am so excited!
All radio stations, News papers, and Television Networks in Montana will be notified next week of my new title!

I am honored to represent the state of my husband's heritage and roots. I am over joyed at the opportunity I have to stand a little taller on my platform, and reach the masses with the message I have to share with all who are willing to listen.

I will have photos of me in my crown and sash coming soon to my blog, my website, and to face book as well.

I will now have the opportunity to compete on stage at The Mrs. Internationl Pageant in Chicago July 2011 with contestants who are also state title holders, and with women who wear the crown for their country from all around the world! Places like Russia, Phillipines, and India, etc.

First things first!
This wonderful opportunity has created a new vehicle for me to obtain the funds for my trip to NC through National and International sponsorship! I can now offer a tax write off to corporations, as well as promote their business through advertising at this International event!

It feels so good to be able to offer something in return to those who have been so giving to me!
North Carolina...Here I come. I know I will make it there, and then be catapolted in the right direction fulfilling my mission, and living my dreams with NOTHING standing in my way!

My path is clear...and I'm going for it!

13 Days to North Carolina!

I finally booked my rental car this morning, thanks to a generous donation from Jed & Joanna Chrisman! With my Visa in hand ready to pay, I found out that I don't have to pay for it until I return the vehicle at the end of my trip!

This is such a big deal, because now I can pay for it with the money from my husband's paycheck the Friday before I fly home (at the end of my trip). I can apply my newest donation from the Chrisman's toward my screening that has to be paid for as soon as I show up (the first day of my trip).

This is a tender mercy from the Lord!

I can now apply the money I put aside for the car toward the beginning expenses of my trip. This is so wonderful that I am able to use strategy with my funds to make this trip happen.

I know these plans are all being orchestrated by the Lord! My gratitude is to him!!

15 Days to North Carolina!

I'm still counting down, and exercising faith more than before. I know this opportunity for healing is a perfect opportunity for my Heavenly Father to make my faith stronger. I accept that with a humble heart, and I know that I will be on that flight in 15 days, and I will have enough money to cover all the expenses of my trip. I don't want to have to go back, because it will cost more to do everything necessary in 2 trips, and symptoms may come back (before that second trip)if I don't get everything done at the same time.

If you can't tell, I have felt some frustration recently, and pressures of my faith being tested. So really today's blog entry is to remind myself that I am a woman of faith, that my faith is powerful! Once again, it is not my place to know HOW, it is only my place to have faith, believe I will receive, and open myself up to allow the blessings to flow in.

I feel better already with a renowned faith that I'm back on the right track to accomplishing this healing project of my life!

It's a big deal, and besides healing, it is a huge learning experience for me.

19 days to North Carolina!

I am counting down to the day I fly to N.C. I'll be there for one week. I can't wait to get there, get it over with, and be home again...accomplishing my goals, and living my dreams!

I was able to get a credit card with a $1,100. limit, and so far I have saved up $750as well. My flight is paid for, so next I'm going to book my hotel, and rental car.

I'm still needing about $2,200. more for the screening, procedure, and dental surgery and amalgam filling replacement. However, I know the funds will all show up in time to cover everything I need. I don't know how (even though I have lots of ideas), I just know that it will!

Work has been slow for my husband due to weather, and holidays. He just recruited 2 new sales Reps, and so tomorrow we will have a team of 6 guys selling tomorrow. This is very promising for creating a big work load that may be the source of the funds I'm needing to make my whole trip possible!

Please pray for Cody, and his sales team. Keep them in your awareness that they will be working hard with much success...that their success will naturally make up the difference for the cost of my healing journey to NC!
Thank you so much, and God Bless you for even taking the time to read this blog entry!
