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

Life Is What YOU Make It

If you keep saying "it' s horrible, it will never work, I'm awful, it's impossible for me"-not only will all those things be the only thing that happens to you, but your biggest cheerleaders and people that constantly show you the reality that those things are certainly not true, and try to encourage you, well, you will perform what they call "manifest destiny". You will finally have them throw up their hands and agree with you. And that's terrible. It does happen that way. It can happen negative like above, or it can happen in amazing powerful ways. YOU create all of it. It can be very sad when you create it negatively. You will lose all respect and support.
So be very careful to see what really is the truth, that things are good, and see new starts as golden opportunities for making things even more amazing than what you had in your life before. Be careful because you don't ever want to feel the feeling of convincing someone that you are awful and things are a mess. Life is just a challenge and even when you have the things, (and usually it's money and material things) that you convince someone makes you lovable and of value as a person, you never know what challenge might happen and it could be something really trying. The only reason that people are worthy is because they think so of themselves. Other people just want to admire how someone handles themselves, not what the situations they deal with are. The beauty is in the grace of attitude. Attitude...and a good sense of humour helps a lot. It is noone's fault.

There is nothing more disrespectful than having a person believe in you and not only do you always disagree, but it must make them feel, "aren't I something that makes them happy." And taking a bad perspective out on anyone. Another person on your team in life is the greatest gift you could ask for anyway.
So it's how you handle it and perceive it that makes it either good or bad. I relate it to that old analogy of someone living in a mansion and whining about what they 'don't have'. It is the poorest way to waste your life. I've spent the past year painting the bad picture, and I can tell you that it certainly does happen how YOU make it happen. You keep convincing someone, they will eventually agree with you, and so will life. I was really good at convincing the opposite of how 'tragic' it all was, when it isn't at all. I have so many things going for me. So many chances for better and bigger opportunities. What's standing in my way but myself? All those so called made up 'bad things' you continually whined and convinced someone about you, just are not true. So, make the opposite of negative happen. talks positively, be brave be strong. Do amazing things.
I love being able to have this blog to just say it and maybe prevent any of you from making that t mistake. It also helps make me feel less down when I am sad. It helps me to write about it, as most of things that I share and write about are for me too.
The simplest things--laughing and sharing a meal and hanging out and love, if you have that, you have EVERYTHING.

ps-on a whole different topic real quick-- Whoever started that chain on FB about plugging the BP hole with Sarah Palin- brilliant. Best idea so far. If that woman ever became a political leader, I'm gettin' the hell out of dodge. I did a big blog about her months ago, and am glad to see I am not alone in my feelings. You can read it here:
