If you know me, you know there is a word I use often. My mother hates it, but I am my father's daughter so what can I say! Fortunately, for my mom, I am talking about a different "f" word, failure. For me failure is familiar, but not in a bad way. At the time it's challenging, but in the end, I always stand back up, brush it off, and move on to accomplish something bigger and better. I can honestly say that without the "f" word I most certainly would not be where I am today, and for that I am thankful. Thankful for every ending, that turns into a beautiful beginning.

Much like this new beginning, which I call Failing Fabulously! When I first pitched this idea two important people in my life, asked me, why I thought I was a failure because in their mind I was number one. In my defense, the first person was my boyfriend and the second my mom, so if I am not number one in their eyes than I am definitely doing something wrong. But then it hit me. I was living with a "Second Best" mindset. I thought back to all the times I was runner up, was denied the part I auditioned for, didn't get into the school I wanted to attend or was passed up on the job opportunity of my dreams. I thought about how all of those things weighed on me. Then, for the first time, I realized that I had been living my life thinking I would always be second best. I no longer want to view myself in that way, and now I know I don't have to be anything less than number one, but I won't get there until I truly believe in my worth.

So here I am, re-branding my first blog, and creating a space where I know I will not always get it right the first time, and I am by no means perfect, but where I can share my real life experiences and hopefully be relatable to those who follow. I want you all to know life is messy and hard, but you don't have to be this perfect human being to find success and happiness. You just have to never give up, and always work to reach your dreams.

With that, cheers to new beginnings, cheers to 2019 and reaching our goals, and cheers to finding happiness in our imperfections!
As always thank you for following and never fear of the, "f" word, embrace it.
XOXO,
Failing Fabulously
