I started this blog just under a year ago upon recommendation of a former friend, Robert Taylor. (He has a blog, which is good, www.taylorincipient.com) Though he was much younger, and from a different generation, he and I connected on an intellectual and artistic level. He had grown up throughout his junior high and high school years with the Internet and social networking as part of his everyday life and has been blogging since about 2002. One day, after a long phone conversation with him about everything from film and politics, to the New York Times, music and silly jokes, he said that I should start I blog.
My obvious response was,
"what the hell would I talk about?" ( I wasn't then, nor am I now, looking for social networking or attention in this kind forum) But, I thought I might entertain people and maybe make them laugh and think about some things that I think about. Simple, you know?
He responded by telling me that I should talk about the things that I talked to him about, but most importantly, that I should tell it in my own voice. He pointed out that he liked most the way that I told a story. He simply told me to talk about 'what I know' and my 'everyday musings'.
So, that's what I've done. Yet, looking over my blog tonite (which I never do- I never re-read what I write) I find that my focus has been all over the place. I have gotten alot of readers the past 6 months and I want to honor the time that they (you) spend reading my entries, so I am taking a break from blogging to re-think what I'm putting out there. I mean, I find it terribly important that I put out at least something that has substance and worth to the reader and not just boring, self centered, narcissist bullshit, you know?
Maybe I'll come back with the same stuff, and it was good the way it was, or I may have a whole new approach. But, nonetheless, I am taking a break.
I am also leaving town for awhile, so it's good for that too.
Anyway, thank you so so much for all of you that subscribe and read. I love your emails and I won't be away long.
Just taking a break and wanted to let you know!

About Me
- *TRENNY*
- 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
