About Me

My photo
I'm Trenny and my philosophy is rather simple-I believe there are only 2 forces in this world, Love or Fear. My goal is to try to see things through the eyes of love, but I am fallible and do not always succeed. My professional career at the moment is that of a fashion stylist in New York,but my interests are varied. This blog is the like a blog ‘magazine/newspaper/journal', where I’ve combined all the elements of things that I love to learn through those mediums myself. Some life journaling, lots of music. A little health, natural product talk and recipe sharing. Random musings on life experiences, a little style, art and humour. Environment issues too as nature is our greatest gift. I hope it teaches you something, makes you laugh, or gets you interested in something different. If it fires you up,I welcome learning all different points of view. I hope that what I share, including my mistakes, encourages you. *In the end, I believe we are all each other's teachers, so whatever you might be inspired to say/share with me through this blog- good and bad- I fully welcome it. I learn just as much from you. Happiness and Love xoxo TrennyLynn - trennylynn@gmail.com

SOTD-SHOWER THE PEOPLE -James Taylor by The Dixie Chicks

I've changed. My outlook and desires for life are so different.
With all these thoughts running through my head, I find myself strolling alot. Alone. I love to walk alone, through the trees and down to the water.

On one of these many such walks, I've made a firm decision that I am done with the rat race. NYC carreer girl. I'm signing up for my first Holistic Medicine course. I've wanted to explore this field for many, many years. I always want to make people feel better, and I am fascinated with the mind and the body and it's miraculous healing capabilities, that I want to explore this area more. I want to make a family too. I want a cat and a hammock and a porch. Funny how things can change so quickly. And when they do, your eyes open and you cannot turn back. Nothing looks the same. Mundane routines, coping mechanisms, defenses, and the life I'm used to, just can't be tolerated anymore. But, thank God! I won't run or distract myself from it. I will just make it happen. Someday, soon.

On such a walk yesterday, I remembered something also that inspired this song today. When I worked for Billy Joel, I had seen a funny editorial in The New York Times that had a caption above Billy in a predicament, and the bubble above his head that read:
"My life would be a more appropriate drama if the proper music were always playing in the background."
I always have felt that way too, and I ripped it out and put it on my board. Always made us laugh.
As I walked in silence (which is the way I like to stroll so I can hear my thoughts and nature), I came upon a clearing that lead to the water. It was beautiful, so I took a moment to sit in the sun and enjoy the water.
I pulled out my music and laid back and hit play. And who came on? The great, peaceful, James Taylor. The perfect artist for that moment.
This is my favorite James Taylor song, although there are so many great ones. Don't forget to have some of him too. He is the perfect accompaniment to a Sunday morning or a walk. I love to sing along with him, as I always feel ease when I do.
There are songs like
*Mexico (which has a wonderful, happy steel drum that makes me want to go back) *Country Road *Walking Man *How Sweet It Is *Carolina *Fire and Rain
Listen to him soon. He'll make you happy.
I love this version, so I put this. The harmonies are really pretty and I hope you enjoy it.
