2014 new year, new victories !

It's January 15th how are those resolutions going ?

I am so excited about the new year  and what it is going to surprise me with ! I really don't do new years resolutions it's not my thing. But one thing that I do is recognize what has worked for me and what hasn't and stop doing the things that hasn't worked. I take inventory and move forward with all the things that I do well and build on that. For example coming home and watching TV didn't work well for me. I would get sucked in and wasn't productive after getting home from work. So I took that habit and left it in 2013 and decided to have something productive planned to do when I get home. Writing this blog was definitely a great thing that I started in 2013. I want to keep it going and keep building on it.  a fire has been lit, a passion inside me to really live and to really push along this process of victory over fear living. My fears and inhabitations are what is keeping me from living out my God given destiny ! There 's so much more to conquer in this next year so this blog is going with me in 2014; building and taking this to another level so look out  my friends...more from this blog coming soon!

2014 is an unknown and I like it! We are blessed to make it to see this new year and have a chance to face and conquer our fears ! I don't know what  has gotten into me but I just want to go out  there and take on all the goliath's in my life.The more I am afraid of something the more I have to do it! I am getting to the point where I want what I want more then the fear.

Once you start facing these fears the more it becomes a habit then you look up and you are really living and not just standing on the sidelines watching everyone else. You are on your own journey and sometimes you have cheerleaders and sometimes you have haters but never mind the haters because having just one person who genuinely supports you is enough. I thank God for my supporters .I have best friends that pray for me and believe in me, I am blessed with a husband who is the biggest Tamra cheerleader of them all. So my advice to you my friends is call on your supporters not people who just come to your shows, events or football games but people who you confide in and they take those things from you and help you process them and encourage you along the way, helping you stand and not give up when you really want to. We can't forget the people who are putting opportunities in our path that allow us to continue and not stay stagnant in our Victory over Fear  journey. A lot of people have approached me to do things I am afraid of and have no idea I am afraid of it, they have been and continue to be a huge part of  my journey!


You can't take this victory over fear journey alone , you have got to confess , vent , be vulnerable and honest about it with the people you trust and then you start to see things change. I struggled and I am still struggling with being vulnerable but breaking down that wall and telling people my fears has helped me a lot. I have been blessed with a small group of loyal and encouraging friends. So when I conquer these fears I can't take all the credit. I did the work but they did it with me. I like to think of them as my angels, they are the good angel on my right side telling me "you can do it" when fear is on the other side telling me to "give up, to not even try it"

So one thing we should take into 2014 is our friends,family members and colleagues who know and see greater in us and push us to where we are destined to be. Don't let pride or ego keep you from being vulnerable enough to ask for help , to vent and say what you are afraid of. One important thing I'm taking with me in 2014 is my faith, my faith in God which I am building on daily . The bible says that " I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me " Philippians 4:13 One of my favorite scriptures which reminds me I can't do this on my own and I don't have to. These fears are so much more bearable when you can face them with the ones who love and support you.
I challenge you to think about what and who you want to take with you in 2014. Also think about your supporters and the people you feel comfortable opening up to. I think the first thing is to admit to yourself and others you trust that you have these fears and that they are holding you back from something great. Please feel free to put your comments below!


I just have to say thank you to the people who have encouraged me, prayed for me and believed in me more than I believed in myself at times. You know who you are. I am taking you with me into this new year and I am so blessed to have you ! I love you with all my heart. Now lets take 2014 and make it victorious !
