About Me

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- (sort of) Listening Booth: 1970- Marc Cohn

I was in a cafe last week just relaxing and reading the paper, when a really beautiful version of the song "Tears of a Clown" came on over the speakers. I hold fast that no version has ever outdone Smokey Robinson and The Miracles original (although the ska English Beat version from the 80's is pretty great), but the particular version of the cover that I heard that day, was really good. It's from Marc Cohn's current record, which is covers of all 70's hit songs-mostly those on the 'AM' side of the dial. You remember him, right? The "Walking In Memphis" guy.
I could have sworn that it was Elvis Costello when I was listening, so that gives you an idea of how mellow and pared down it is. You can go to Amazon or Itunes to sample any of the songs, this one of course, included. There are some good ones like "Make It With You", "Maybe I'm Amazed", and "Wild World", etc.... and some interesting duets (India Arie anyone)?
Check it out.
