A Day in the Life of TrishaTrixie

A Day in the Life of Trisha:

(LONG POST SIT DOWN OR MAKE SURE YOU HAVE TIME TO READ. I AM CATCHING YA ALL UP )

Yesterday the 4th

I have been dealing with pretty sever migraines lately for many reason. One of which my neurologist and I determined was my glasses. I was wearing these Green frames before I met someone at The Big O Show from UNMC and took the discount for new glasses. I had a pair of frames before I tried to use but always go headaches. We though then it was because they were reader lenses. But now come to find out (and here is what is the most odd) it is the frame themselves. The frames ( which I call the Purple Frames) are flat front and allow me to see peripherally. Because I easily get Sensory Overload being able to do this is NOT good for me. I also had these pair of Blue frames which are like the Green ones in that they are light and frame my face more. The guy from UNMC was real helpful when we spoke and said if I send both frames in he will remove the lenses from the Purple frames and put new lenses in the Green Frames no charge. All I have to pay is shipping there. So now I went to the Post Office yesterday and sent them off. So now I am wearing the Blue Frames shown here until my new ones come back. I hope they come back sooner than he said (two weeks) cuz they are my favorites. In some of my other blogs and art blogs I am usually wearing my Green Frames.

 I was talking to a friend today how frames are in again and though I had laser eye surgery 12 years ago how I still need glasses a bit but not bad. I am noticing my eyesight worsen a little more here and there but at least they are not coke bottles.

Sorry for pouty face. I tried to smile but it was so strained. Since my recent relationship fumble I have not been that elated. More melacholohy and blue as I have mentioned. Some days are better than others and I am able to function, maybe laugh a little but as someone said true to form "I am a roller coaster of emotions"

Which is why the Radiant Goddess course has been helpful for me in many ways along with the Goddess Circle and being able to post, talk and connect on a regular basis with other women. I tried this last year with Brave Girls but ended up sticking my foot in my mouth and lost people in my life. I won't say friends because if they were they would still be.

One of the things in the Radiant Goddess is to eat more healthy (they prefer raw but healthy is a good place to start) so I got some groceries to do just that. Strawberries, Kiwi & Bananas to make smoothies, Cabbage to eat raw and cooked, Cucumbers for Cucumber Water you'll see later, Celery for raw or with Peanut Butter, White and Orange Carrots to mix with other foods and to make veggie shakes with Mater Juice :)

I also went to the store to buy a few things from Walmart. I went to get a small Space Heater of which was mismarked on the shelf and SHOULD have been $49 but i got it for $16

 I got it to put in the basement to make a min studio so I could get away once in awhile. My Spray stuff can be sprayed down there where it won't smell as well I can paint down there and I am really wanting to get into more painting.

 As you see my easel is rigt near the patio door so like today I can be down there with the doors open.

I also bought this kewl little camera tri pod for my hand held camera (isn't it funny that we call it that. Aren't ALL cameras hand held. WE don't use our feet) But I digress...

 It's so kewl cuz it's all bendy and stuff. The little screw on the top goes on my small camera and then I can position the pod whichever way I want. I am a self portrait pic kind of girl so this makes it much easier.

It was only $10 not bad eh? I thought so.

 I bought some Nice and Clean electronic wipes for $10 and promptly wiped my phone, camera, computer screen etc down with them. They are individually packed so I can even take some in my laptop bag when I go.

 In Omaha I had two desks, a night stand and two filing cabinets. Here I have nothing but tables. I was getting irritated that my art was everywhere so I saw this for $10 and got it too. (I think I was on a $10 roll or at the $10 store...hmmm)

 annnnnnnnnnnd if you didn't hear my 3rd portable hard drive crashed...AGAIN. What I did find out is that is got to max capacatity and they can't handle that. I was told to leave room this time for it to function. Though this says ! TB (Terabyte) NOT to fill it up that far or it could crash. My first one was a big one, my last two were small ones. Either way kaboom and crash. This time I barely got the stuff off my old one in time. I loaded everything to the file server we have here in the house and now I am reloading everything FROM there to HERE. IT's a pain, but though the file server is great, I can't take it with me.

 Once I got done in the Studio. Oh yeah I am calling the room my STUDIO now. (Fancy I know) It is a Goddess Circle thing as well as the Sacred Spaces. The top one is when I named the room a year ago. The bottom one is what it is now I guess. It pretty much is my little studio. I have in there my bed, my bathroom, a mini fridge, a toaster over, my art table and my office table, a printer, a vanity and a bookshelf.

Doesn't that sound like a Studio to you? (yeah me too)

When I got done in there I made some dinner of homemade Broccoli Cheese soup and some of my Cucke Water.

 Then before bed I drank my Egyptian Licorice tea. A friend of mine send me some for Christmas and these are all the MAIN teas I drink.The three to the left being the most prominent.

This is our crazy ass tea cupboard with many many teas but the bottom shelf is pretty much mine. Tea SMith and Yogi Teas.

Today

I woke doing visualizations but not the kind I should have. Instead of visualizations of nature or trees or a meadow I was visualizing what life would have been like with him in our future...it was such a  great vision of us happy, hanging out with friends, the kitchen room being a fun room with a big L leather couch and all our friends hanging out like a Superbowl party with the kitchen and fun room connected. Him happily cuddling me and us all TRULY happy. JUST friends and US. No creaky chaired old men (his dad lives there right now) keeping us from living our life. Ah, the dream though is NOT the reality so I smacked myself out of it and jumped up, turned on Itunes and listened to French training while I got up.

My current theme is from White Hot Truth


Show Up
Shine
Let Go

Well, right now Showing Up every day is a chore so I feel like if I can get up, get dressed, put on makeup and move like Goddess Leonie says and I follow her plan and say my affirmations, eventually I will be ok. I mean deep down I know I will, just now it suck big rocks and btw Big Girls DO cry Fergie so bite me.

Goddess Leonie challenged us for the Radiant Goddess Course to go for a Nature Walk and connect with Mother Nature, Mother Earth. Leonie lives in Australia so sometimes she can do things we can't. But luckily today was 62 ish degrees so I could oblige...

Boooties said "Can we Mew outside too?"

 So I said MEW-TAY (which is otay but the kitty version)

Dude got jealous and said "Meowmy I gets to go, I gets to go, MEowmy pweeease?"

 I needed out of the house so I said, SURE!

Booties found a bird feeder that fell

Dude was like "What is THIS freedom all about?"

Then they both said "Quit Mewing Around, let's go!"

I found a doorknob...a blue one in fact

It was at the base of the tree so I think it was a Fairy House. If you look you can see the lock to the left and the hinge to the right. I knocked but no one answered. The fairies must all have been out today.

Dude found a perch and told me to look where he was pointing

 I asked if he was a pointer dog and he said "Silly mommy I am a cat, batted at me, mewed and walked away"

He was pointing to these cute little Fairy Homes. These are for Single Fairies I think. The other one was for a Family or Coven of Fairies.

 We came back from out little backyard walk and I cleared off the leaves off the patio which hurt my back but I wasn't ready to go in yet. Dude helped by sniffing out any areas I missed. Then I sat outside on the chair for a bit til I started getting a chill.

Then I made some homemade Pumpkin Bread

 I know I probably shouldn't have but as a sweet tother I can't go straight to RAW everything. At least it is wholesome and we still need grains, right?

Then I worked on my Radiant Vision Book. We are supposed to do Vision Boards, but I end up with all these boards and no where to put them. The books I keep and look through. These are just a few images to share what I was doing but I will be posting many more of the projects on my Art Blog.

This one is Living a Radiant Life and What does Being Radiant Look Like

 Live Randiantly

Katherine Heigel is Radiant here. I aspire to be like that. It also says Put on your happy life and upper left says Natural Glow. The person near the Calm drink is jumping into life (ok its a pool but let's imagine Life shall we?)

Radiant foods and meals

Smoothies, Sushi, Liquid Vitiies

Being SUPER Radiant looks like this to me

My Front Cover with my tags...OhI just realized it's sideways...oh well so am I

I found my Goal Intention Kit worksheet of how I want to feel and filled it out. Of Course RADIANT was on there as many other POSITIVE things I want to feel (emphasis POSITIVE because I AM feeling the opposite but I WANT to feel these things)

I worked on my SOAR Journal a bit

 I worked on MY NEW CED Cards for the NEW theme. I am trying to create a card daily and then I am going to put them together at the end of the month. I need to ask Pippa how she does hers because it is pretty kewl. (Pippa if you are reading please comment how you do that)

Sunshine is New because it comes out fresh every day

Snow is new because when it first falls it is fresh and new

Working on my smile

There it kinda is...

Goodbye from Trisha Trixie. Thanks to all my loyal followers.

Tomorrow

I am going to be working on drawing Dragons for Tam's Willowing Challenge. That one may take a few days. I will be posting it on my Art Blog when complete.

Then I have two new web clients but only one is active as there was some issues with the one in Omaha and so I have been paid but am now on hold until they can get their Database fixed and then I help them with WordPress items. The other one if for www.lifecoachiowa.com . I did a Web Refresh already for him and now he and I are working on some E Books and E courses together to Partner with each other. He said he will split 50% so it sounds good. You can check it out now but keep checking back or check back again when I tell you the E book are up.

I also have signed on with some affiliate pages (which is why the push on the Goddess Stuff yesterday (sorry bout that. Just trying to make dough) and I am working on two E-Courses that Trisha Trixie and Company will be launching soon too.

Then I have an Art Deadlines newsletter to look over.

Then Goddess stuff.

Then SOAR stuff.

Then....

Maybe Pinterest in the evening since today, JSUT today I was able to get an account by an invite. I haven't had time to just sit and play on the site (which I might do this weekend or so, who knows)

Well, I drank my tea, now off to bed with me.

Dude is meowing for me to disconnect from my laptop and journal or something so he can sit in my lap. (Honestly I think Booties is picking on him and he is needing mommy. At least some thing needs me)

Bonne Nuit (Good Night in french)

Life as a Goddess

Last year through one of the OTHER many blogs I follow I came Across Goddess Leonie's Goddess Guidebook. To say it changed my life would be an understatement.I felt as though I were looking into a window of a life I could have, a life I once knew, a life full of love, happiness and that the things in my life were attainable.

I filled out the Workbook as soon as I bought it. I printed extra pages of it so I could collage them, post them on my walls, make art with them. I bought copies of the Workbook for family and friends and gave them away as gifts. I fell in love with Goddess Leonie...immediately.

I signed up for her regular emails so I could always hear of her goodness and light and love and from time to time free goodies were tossed our way so I jumped for joy! (Who doesn't like FREE?)

At the end of the year I saw where you could be a part of the Circle for $99 and you received this wonderful book, access to all her E courses and so much more. Knowing her, the book and all it's wondourous goodness, I had to jump in this year, head first, feet first, everything all at once!

2012 Workbook AND Calendar

The first thing I did was pour over it at the end of they year. It helps us to say goodbye to the past year as well as welcome in the new. This now has become almost a ritual for me at the end of each year and I am SURE I will continue it in the years to come.

I talk about filling out my workbooks below if you want to read my past blogs and the blog for this year!

I also realized fast that the binder I was using was NOt big enough so I created a new one with Goddess Leonie's images...

A little BLURB from Goddess Leonie is readable here:

Once upon a time, there lived a hippy who loved to make art & do soulful hippy things. She also worked in a cubicle job, until one day she could stand it no longer. She went for a walk in a field, and decided that within a year she would learn all she needed to know about business and turn her little hobbies into a big thriving business.
And she did it. Every year since then, her business has doubled in size, and has now become the sole income for her family – letting her & her husband both be stay at home parents and move to tropical paradise.
The Business Goddess e-course is everything she learned along the way about how to become a Business Goddess.
It is complete guide–over 190 pages!!–for how to make money online, the blueprint of how she did it, 100+ ways to market magically, mindfully & joyously, and how to sane & joyful when business gets BUSY!
It comes chock-full of bonuses too: profiles of inspiring business gods & goddesses & the Magic Money Maker kit!

Here are some other blogs where I speak about other things with Goddess Leonie

2012 Workbook AND Calendar

Wishcasting Wednesday: What or whom do you wish to make peace with?

Wishcasting Wednesday by Jaime Ridler

Wishcasting Wednesday: What or whom do you wish to make peace with?

First off, myself.

I wish to find Peace. Attain Inner Peace. Attain Peace in my Home. Peace in my Life. Peace with or without Love. Peace with my Career. Peace with all things in my life. I feel like I am always groping stretching reaching trying, going after and always grasping. Yet, because there is no Peace or even a Sense of Peace I am not able to attain it, if I do I am not able to keep it or hold onto it, and because there is no Peace I am not at Peace.

Second off, Him. The him who is my ex-boyfriend. Hmm maybe I need to find Peace with that word first cuz I uh HATE it. How about my former boyfriend of who I recently departed from? Hmm, I will need to work on that one.

Third, kinda back to me again but Peace about our break up. I feel horrible. I felt horrible leaving the way I did before, second and now third time. I feel at fault. I feel so responsible. I know I need to get to a point where I feel at Peace with this all, but right now I don't feel like I am going to get there.

There is an old hymn that says "Peace begins with me" and that is what I WISH for most of all.

So Fairies, Goddesses, Mermaids, Priestesses and other...please put my wish in your path and send me ligh, love and energy to attain this Peace that I wish for...today, tomorrow and every day of my life.

As I wish for myself, I send positive enegery into the universe to grant your wishes for you....

Love and Light Always,

Trisha

Chicken Strips

I lost it over Chicken Strips.

I buy the Target kind of Chicken Strips, the same kind he buys. I eat them with honey. The same way he does.
I just bought the bag not that long ago a week or two tops maybe. So I hadn't had enough to get to the bottom of the bag yet. Until today...

There I was staring at the bag and there were only two left and some pieces. The pieces are huge right now and I was thinking how he said he doesn't like the NEW way they are so large cause they are gone so fast. It started then, but it got worse.

I placed the strips on the pan and turned on the oven to preheat them. Then I went to throw the remaining part of the bag away and I broke down in tears. Dumb, foolish, silly girl tears. Why do I say that?  Well, ya wanna know what I cried over???? ( I feel so dumb)

I cried because "Who is going to eat the little crumb pieces now???" I used to heat them up  and give him a  spoon and give them to him because he liked it. It was a thing. You know one of those things, those little things that one never thinks about until you think about it.

OF course then this spawns me into a tirade of  I have stuff to make tacos and he LOVES my tacos and now I have no one to make tacos for anymore. Just me. Tacos for one please. How sad and pathetic. :(

Then I do throw the trash away and stop crying long enough to do so and when I walk to the trash my dumbass roommate has the trash so high I can barely take it out and it smells and then I start crying again..."He hates the way trash smells" Ok I know you are thinking, um doesn't everybody, but he is very sensitive to smells. Just as I am. A small scent in the trash can can make him clean the wholehouse. Now I am the same way.

In an effort to NOT be sad lately I have tried do what my Life Coach says and NOT listen to sappy music and NOT watch sad shows. So I have been listening to my Soul Strength Playlist  as well as going through and watching old FRIENDS videos. I was WAtching How I Met Your Mother, but everyone keeps breaking up with each other so I can only watch so much of that before I burst into tears.

Friends today was no better and sent me back to TrishaCryingLand... I was watching the second Season Ep 1 and Ross is telling Rachel how awesome she is and how she deserves someone who gets her and thinks how lucky he is to wake up to her...GO TO 4:21 on the YT to find it. (Sorry I tried to tape it and this has Hebrew lettingering but it is the best I could do to share with you)




and in looking for that clip I found the clip below which sent me into more tears...
The Ross and Rachel Story...They got a point where they were done being stupid...will it EVER happen for me?

So, I guess this is all bittersweet right now. Trying to laugh to keep from crying but occasionally I guess I am just going cry and you know...to go along with my Theme of BE OK...I guess it is just going to have to BE OK for me to be a basket case laughing and crying right now.

Love and Light Always,
Trisha

EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT! THE INTERVIEW OF A LIFETIME

I am not currently taking the course for being a Business Goddess but you can download the materials and so I did. I see that I already AM a Biz Goddess in many ways but of course there are always things to learn.

I read up, offered my assistance and am working on some of the things requested.

In this endeavor it has pushed me to do a few things that are quite exciting to me. Recently I sent in a request to Start Up City Des Moines. and now for the news:

EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT
I sent in a request to Start Up City Des Moines. It is a start up company who helps well, start ups, entrepreneurs, etc get going. They know me from, NETWORKING and I always see them around town. They are supportive of my Non Profit but of course they only help FOR profit companies (they have to earn cash somehow right?)

They help connect you with the right resources, investors and develop business plans and more. It is a kewl idea and I am so glad they started it.

Wellllll.....enough of the waiting...they emailed me today and said they love my idea and want to TALK! Yipeeeee! Ok, I know it is JUST a meeting, but I know that it could be nothing or it could be something. They don't waste their time if they are interested I know I have gotten those emails before too.
I don't know when yet, they asked me when and I responded whenever you want! Now I am waiting to see what they say.

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

#1- I have been here before and messed it up. I used to have a Dating website called Datebydesign.com. I could have sold it to a Venture Capitalist for $500,00 but they wanted me to do all the work and they got 70%. I thought that sounded like crap so I walked away. (I smack myself often for that one). If you click on the link the site now still is worth $1500 as it redirects you to Huge Domains. You see I walked away. I thought because the site was growing so fast and doing so well (I had events and people over 5,000 on the site) that I didn't need them. Guess what- a one man (or one woman) bizness is hard to handle, market, etc. Plus my ex had half the bizness and he wanted to hang on. I lost. In the end I sold it to another dating site who then pulled out the good parts like a head of lettuce and set it up on auction for the domain to be sold the going rate now $1500.

DON'T LET YOUR HEAD GET TOO BIG IN THE BEGINNING THAT IT KEEPS YOU FROM GETTING TO THE END
 
#2-I love Fashion. I always have. When I first went to Graphic Design School I wanted to go into Fashion Design. I checked out FIDM and the Art Insititue, places that Project Runway goes to OFTEN. But my ex was paying and he wanted me to get a GD degree. I could go farther with it, learn thml, make my own business cards, yada yada. So I SETTLED (dom dom dom). But I have always yearned to do more in Fashion. See,

#3 I used to Model. I modeled for Teen, Teen Vogue and Seventeen back in 1988. It wasn't much, I did some background shots and then I also modeled for Mall runway shows and some Spokes model for a car company. But I loved it! I was an ugly duckling in HS and then blossomed into greatness! I got attention and it was great.  I was in a shoot last year for a local paper when I was 40. Then I was asked to do a Fashion Show. This year I was a Designer Liaison for two children's Designers at Omaha Fashion Week (which is pretty big next to NY Fashion Week)

#4 But the greatest thing happened at BarCamp Omaha. I had this idea for a Facebook like community but for Fashion. Models, Designers and more could all connect, converse etc and the general public would join this so they could connect, find a designer, ask dressing questions and more. That is my idea for Sensafashionities.

And now a business company who helps start ups wants to talk to ME! Little ole me about it! That is way too exciting. I don't want to get my hopes up. But, I am hoping this turns out well for us both. I know I will go in with my mind open  and keep my nose down.

I would love some positive energy, and some energy to prosperity, collaboration and Success. And anything you desire to send me will be welcomed as well. :)

Love and Light,
Always,
Trisha ^..^

2012 Divine De Cluttering and Sacred Sage New Year Welcoming

Here I am.

I showed up. I showed up in 2012.

I woke doing yoga stretching again. It felt good.

I made myself some Ginseng Vitality Tea. I haven't been drinking it because it had a scent that I didn't want, but today I made myself drink it. Once I got through it, I realized it wasn't that I didn't WANT it, it was that I THOUGHT I didn't but I NEEDED it and I feel better because of it. Funny how that is. Not Funny ha ha but funny...oh I wish I was saying this to him. HE would know what I mean. But I can't.

Last night I did everything I could to "Declutter" my life. Partially to keep busy so I could not think. Partly because in an effort to bring newness and good things into my life in 2012 I felt it was a ritual I needed to do. I cleaned my desk, I cleaned my art table, I even cleaned my bathroom next to my room and cleaned off my shelf. I got rid of things I couldn't bear to look at, thins I didn't need anymore and things that was just, well, clutter.

Dude helped by watching me

I cleaned the hallway and organized the bookshelves

Cleaned up my Office Desk

Washed ALL my bedding, including pink Fuzzy which took 3 drying cycles and a leaving out all night to dry

Cleaned off the top of my dresser and hung my Passion for Fashion sign

, in addition to added a NEW Bamboo plant

Then when I went to bed, I cired and cried and cried. When I was done with that, I cried some more. I just felt like I needed to cry it all out. Cry 2011 right out of me. Cry the 2011 of relationship issues, cry the 2011 of business issues, cry the 2011 of financial woes and issues, cry the loss of a love in 2011 and cry the loss of my heart. (Really wished my Pink Fuzzy was dry)

When I woke this morning I decided to give myself a Special Day Goddess Leonie spoke of. I deemed it Switch Off Sunday. No Internet, No Tv, no electronics for as much as of the day as I could. I asked my roommate if he would do the same with me since I needed a break today, today more than anoy other day and he said ok, not happily, but ok. I also kind of incorporated Spa Day, by coloring my hair (remembing the song "I'm Gonna Wash that Man Right Outta my Hair"?, well, maybe today I worked on "Coloring that man out of my hair"?? IDK.

As I said, I woke and right away did some yoga. Breath out the old, breathe in the new. Stretch to the right, stretch to the left. Release it all. Leave 2011 behind in 2011 and welcome 2012.

Then I went out and opened every window and door. Let it all out. Let all the freshness in. It was cold, but it was worth it.

I sketched a drawing for my Create Every Day blog I link on


 

I made homemade muffins with oatmeal for goodness for my body

I lit Sage to cleanse the house, every corner and all the rooms, thoroughly!!

I cleaned up the fountain, adding Fresh water...

and cleaned the area to make an Altar to bring in light, love and consist streams...

I colored my hair a Brown Blonde (Really warms my face and I FEEL different anyway if I don't LOOK different)

I used my NEW nail Cuticle Pen

I added a gem to my pinky to remind me I am a Gem no matter what others think

Did clear polish to bring NEWness and freshness into my life

Learned a new game I would never had played

zombies

Battle the zombies to live

I won by making it to the Helipad first

Lots oh Zombies, I lost the second round...:( Poo

I covered a few books for my Etsy site to sell

Dare, Dream, Imagine book for Etsy

Got a Zelda game and Zelda stickers for my controllers I have been wanting when I do log on... (mindless killing of things makes life easier sometimes)

Ended up caving and went to Walmart to buy a new workout game for my Wii with Heart Rate Monitor to get the FAT off me....ugh, but YAY, no? IDK

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A sketch of an Owl wishing you a Happy Hooo Year in my large moleskin

I went out to Applebees and hung out with ANOTHER Sara who is a waitress who works at Village Inn and Applebees Bar who I have made friends with. I sat at the bar and talked to her for awhile while eating some red meat in a juicy hamburger. Mm red meat to feed the savage in me I was feeling.

 Then I came back, played a bit on the Wii, came back to my room and checked my email (not sure that was wise since an email bit my ass and I got upset but I am trying to most past it),  while uploading pictures for the blog did a little more art work, added songs to a playlist I am making on You Tube from a Former YT list I had. now that I am done here, I will update my Etsy and then log back off. My first day for Radiant Goddess is today so I might look around there and then I will sign off. So not bad two hours online.

See, I am getting better already. Day one of good habits and hey, for once, I don't have a headache this week. Amazing, knock on wood. Must be all the good things I did today.

Love, Light and Happiness,
Always,

Trisha
