Trying Something New: Vol. 1

As we enter this New Decade i decided to try as many New things possible..... And to overcome all the fears i may still have..... Falling has always been a huge fear for me.... From the time i was a little girl, i've been afraid of heights and falling too. I still to this day (believe it or not) cannot for the life of me do a cartwheel because i always thought i would fall. So because there were so many activities that included falling.... I was just never a huge fan of those....

One of these activities:

Roller skating.

Now thinking back i may have tried it when i was younger and fell and i never attempted it ever again until tonight.

My friend and i decided to go skating with another friend of ours who is basically a pro at this...... A little scary but i told myself that this is the year of giving up those little fears for little victories. So our night of skating began with me afraid to even put on the shoes, to me standing to the side of the rink learning how to balance - afraid but yet trying.....

To me finally taking a leap of faith and holding someone's hand going to the middle of the floor and attempting this. I did however end up on my behind.... A hard hit i must be honest..... But after falling.... i GOT up, dusted myself off and tried again..... this time just a little less afraid.... I guess overcoming fear is never easy! But today i fell and was okay.... I'm trying new things this year. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and i'm not allowing fear to hold me captive!!!! And when everything else fails..... i've decided to JUST DANCE!!!!


For now..... I'm celebrating Falling..... and getting up again.... Good night everyone! Special thanks to Nicole and monica for their help in getting me out there!!!!! much love lois
