FSK0D31420002427In less than 24 hours, we’ll be celebrating the arrival of 2015. I cannot believe 2014 has come and gone. So much has happened that was both good and bad this year. I could very well choose to focus on the negative, to let it deter my goals, but instead, I choose to focus on the highlights, the moments we cling to when all else seems driven by chaos. This blogazine was one of my greatest achievements this year. Originally, I created Live Well Be Fabulous as a blog dedicated to the woman of Fabulosity and the men who love her. No, this doesn’t mean living a lifestyle we can’t very well afford. It means embracing the spirit within and using that power to improve our lives one aspect at time. I quickly discovered that the scope of LWBF should be changed to include those who want to inspire others through empowerment, the desire to live the best life he or she can while staying within one’s means to do so… to become an Agent of Fabulosity.

Although I haven’t been as active in LWBF’s launch year as I would like to have been, my absence on certain days didn’t keep all of you from coming back to enjoy more. LWBF even got nominated for an inspirational award. Now that’s what I call success! Ad revenue, book sales, Google ranking and such are great. However, when you have readers who take the time to write and tell you how much you’ve inspired them, then you know you’ve made a difference. And that’s the very essence of what I wanted to achieve. I’m looking forward to watching this blogazine grow in 2015, and I hope you’ll join me. There’s plenty more to come!

I want to thank you. In honor of 2014, the launch year of LWBF, I’m posting the articles and photographs you all viewed the most. Enjoy the diversity!

1. Dialogue of a Man and a Tree – Poetry

Because I have an obsession with trees and nature in general, I’ve taken to collecting photos of various structures, especially old trees. The more character in them, the better. This poem is just a small reflection of that love.

2. Monday Mood Board – Exotically Fiery

I absolutely adore the color red. It’s passionate, fierce and beautiful. That’s why I chose rojo as one of LWBF’s four theme colors. Tow of those colors (red and green) have been covered in mood board posts. The other two (black and white) will be coming your way in 2015!

3. Be An Agent of Fabulosity

In this article, I reveal the origin of the word Fabulosity and explain why I’ve chosen to adopt its concept for this blogazine.

4. Seven Movies I Cannot Wait to See in 2014

I’m a movie lover. Looks like many of my readers are too! This is a very good thing, cuz 2015 promises to deliver a hoard of fantastic films for me to review.

5. Paris Fashion Week 2014 Begins

I have a passion for fashion, as does many other women. You can look great while living on a budget. Fashion week posts were such a hit this year, that I’m planning on adding a static board for displaying seasonal trends.

6. The Color Wheel… Little Green Delights

The mood boars for color #2 of LWBF’S theme was just as popular as the first one. Enjoy!

Who doesn’t love the color of royalty?

8. The Color Wheel… the Eternal Allure of Pink

And what would a mood board centered around the color purple be without its equally intriguing bubble-gum colored counterpart?

9. Ballerina Badness Part 1

Love ballet. I’m obsessed with the art of a dance that spans back to ancient times. I’ve even featured a ballerina as a protagonist in one of the novels I wrote this year. Expect to see more dancing dollies since part 1 has been such a hit.
