Help Haiti!

Hello everyone!
 
This is has been such a nice and relaxing week. I have been sticking to my New Year's Resolution so far by eating healthier, except for a meal I enjoyed at an incredible Mexican restaurant earlier this week. I tried to make healthy choices but could not resist the cheese enchiladas, yummyy! I still need to do a little more cardio just to make sure I am staying active and heart healthy. It really does help with energy levels!
 
Other than that, I have been researching the importance and history of Chinese and American relations because I am meeting a lovely lady and Chinese legend on Friday for lunch named Yue Sai Kan. We have such an important relationship with the Chinese and we both need each other immensely. Plus we have a lot in common! I had an education session with Paula Shugart on Thursday about American economy, health care reform, and the history of WWI, WWII, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. She could pretty much be a history professor or political talk show host because of her expansive knowledge and her ability to present it in an understandable way. Never estimate the intelligence and knowledge of the President of a pageant company! We’re more than a couple of pretty faces over here!!

The three of us titleholders are encouraged to stay aware and up to date on current events, and to develop educated opinions on the subject. Since I have been doing this, I feel like a much better American and so much more well-rounded. I encourage everyone to get your news in some way, either through the newspaper, electronic news, twitter updates, radio or talk shows. 
 
The happenings in Haiti are a tragedy and the people need your help! For more information on how you can help, please visit www.redcross.org. You can also make a $10 donation to the Red Cross International Response Fund my texting the word HAITI to 90999.
 
I hope you all had a spectacular week and continue to stay positive!
 
Love,
Kristen
