Norma Joyce’s life wasn’t always glitz and glamour!

Born in Prince Edward Island, Canada Norma Joyce Dougherty is an inspirational speaker, an award-winning author, a leader of women’s Bible study groups, and a mentor to young women.

However, this hasn’t always been Norma Joyce’s life. As a young woman and beauty queen, Norma Joyce experienced the glitz and glamour that society promotes. She is a former Miss Dominion of Canada, a participant in Miss World, Miss Universe, Queen of the Pacific, and semi-finalist in Miss International.

For this poor farm girl, beauty represented an escape to a better life. But, all that glitters is not gold. Struggling with many of the same issues that women in crisis deal with every day, she overcame her own identity issues by finding joy and contentment in God’s purpose for her life.

Keeping Up In 2023

By Norma Joyce Dougherty • December 31, 2022
I was always pursuing perfection, wanting the best for myself, my family and my life. So intentional doing everything just right, till one day, I woke up and realized I was actually paralyzed by my pursuit of perfection.
Is your heart yearning for something special.

EVEN IF

We all have those dreams for something we feel is missing in our lives. We all visualize what life would be like if we were able to achieve or acquire that dream.
