Happy New Year, friends! It seems like forever since I’ve written to you. I hope you had a wonderful and joyous holiday season. I was able to spend a lot of time with my family and friends. We relaxed, ate, cooked, laughed, played games for hours on end and just had an all-out GREAT holiday.
I made some time sit and think about how I was going to make 2015 the best year yet. While I still have somethings to put in place, the year has stared on a pretty good note. I’ve adopted a 2015 motto which is, Be Fearless. In all aspects of my life, I plan to take a fearless approach. Going for what I want has never really been an issue, but the way I execute needs some work. Being fearless is empowering and a bit scary, but it’s necessary. Be it my health, business decisions, relationships, personal style decisions, it’s time for me to spread my wings a bit further! I believe that we all have something special inside of us, but it’s up to us to be fearless enough to show that something special to the world.
In keeping with my Be Fearless attitude, I’ve stepped outside of my comfort zone and tried different physical activities while on winter break. Thanks to my good friend Kamille, I’ve found some new and fun ways to get my body in shape and let’s just say, it’s already starting to pay off!
Remember my bucket list? Well, I can officially cross off taking a pole dancing class! The pole dancing classes at Xpose Fitness are extremely liberating and my ENTIRE body was stretched and worked out; I love that! My adventurous friend also introduced me to a trampoline workout class at Sky Zone. While I enjoyed the class, it’s not something I can see myself doing on a regular basis. Jumping, running, stretching and doing crunches on a trampoline is a lot harder than it seems. It was a definite challenge, but I did it!
So tell me, how do you plan to Be Fearless in 2015? Have you recently stepped outside of your comfort zone? Let me know!
Again, happy new year to you! I’m thrilled for what’s to come for WNJ and I hope you all are too. More 2015 blog plans and goals to come later this week. Until then, be blessed and stay safe…XO!
P.S. I’ll be back to my Personal Style Linkup in February!

Awesome post! Fear is definitely one thing we all need to overcome. Fear can hold us back and keep us from pursuing our dreams. Amazing things can happen once we push past our fears and do things we are afraid to do. Wishing you much success on your fearless journey.

Great post! I love that you’ve chosen Be Fearless as your mantra for 2015. Like you I’m pushing myself more and more out of my comfort zone, it’s not easy but it’s the only way to grow. I’ve taken a pole dancing class about 2 years ago, and I sucked at it but I want to try it again. I’ve been to Sky Zone and you’re right that is NOT an easy work out at all. My mantra for the year is “ready to receive” and my word for the year is “elevation.” Wishing you a successful 2015! #BLMGirl
