I was minding my own business on Facebook (lol) when I saw a link entitled: “Le Diner en Blanc to Come to Miami 2014.” I had never heard of it and so I looked it up; seemed like an outdoor, elegant picnic with total strangers all dressed in white...Interesting.

 

Now by nature, I am quite reserved and even a little shy….slash unfriendly because to me it’s scary meeting new people! This whole entire thing sounded like a rude invasion of my personal space. So what did I do???

I signed up!

Why?

Simply because it would take me out of my comfort zone.

 

I did something new. I threw myself into the mosh pit of friendliness and…I actually survived!

If I had never moved past the many excuses as to why I shouldn’t, couldn’t, wouldn’t go, I would’ve missed out on an amazing experience! I got to dress up (which is my favorite), ate good food (another favorite), meet new people and danced the night away!

And like I told my Spima (spiritual mom); I have never felt as FREE as I do right now.

With the New Year approaching, I encourage you to TRY SOMETHING NEW! Live a little! Get out of your comfort zone. If you hate it, at least you’ll know. But…

What if you loooove it?! AHHHHHHHHH! (---> me screaming with glee)

4 Little Words

So clearly I missed yesterday's post. Ha! But I'm back...

Recently I did a drastic change and decided to go back to my natural hair. I cut my shoulder length hair into a short pixie cut. Albeit a few close people, nobody knew what I was contemplating until my hair made its debut.

"OMG! I love it!" "Omg! Your hair! What did you do?" And my favorite: "You cut your hair. Why?" 

Now I didn't change my hair because I got some deep revelation about my ancestors and suddenly will be burning incense, wearing dashikis and all the other stereotypes natural hair wearers get. I changed my hair due to 4 little words:

BECAUSE I WANTED TO.

And when I replied to the person who asked me that, I realize just how simple and uncomplicated things can be.

Because I want to. Period.

I can change my hair, change my clothes, change the way I think about something, change my bad habits, change my life if I want to. If next week I decided I want to wear hair extensions, I can! I don't have to ask for permission or look for acceptance to be me.  

The thing is having the desire to want to do the right thing. 

We all have a choice. 

Wanting someone to fall off a cliff, not a good idea.

Wanting to change some things for the better in 2015? Great idea.

It's the first of the month...

Hello Style Conscious people! Today is the first day of the last month of 2014 and I decided that I'm going to consistently (please pray) blog for each day this month. Yikes!

December is a month full of activity. Holidays, parties and last minute goal reaching has most people in a high state of "gotta do something" (Hence my newfound energy to blog)! But you want to take the time to reflect on the NOW! I don't want December to fly by but I want to savor every day of this last year while also anticipating the awesometicity that 2015 will bring! 

Come along for the journey :)
