MVNCI 2012, the Final Stretch
I’m not much of a blogger, and have found that I’ve only ever enjoyed my own writing when I have the opportunity to write about something I genuinely love and am passionate about. After all, the topics near and dear to our hearts are the ones that provide others a glimpse of who we are and who we strive to be.

As my final days as the 2012 MVNCI Queen were drawing near, many asked me, “Are you sad to...
