" will i make the right one, how will this effect my children" is really my only reason for the hesitation. if it was only me i could make it through anything, but i want to shelter and protect them- so i can not make flighty decisions...and flighty is sometimes the most comfortable for me....i've been keeping my self open to the spirit for guidance, really just waiting on confirmation in some kind of answer from above or a sign and wonder that would gently nudge me in the right way....and as i was making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich i heard these words.." trust what is" out of the blue i wasn't even in a state of worry at the time- more concerned with the noises my tummy was making. but i stopped, and i just held those words to my heart...trust what is....i have lots of ways i took this whisper .....and it would be all to complicated to blogg it, but peace came over me and i realized why these words came to me....GOD has a plan, it is so great and so huge sometimes the little things in life steal our awareness away...and we are not connected to that trust of just allowing everything to unfold in it's own due time....does mother nature speed forward a lotus flower when it asks why am i leaves in the mud? what is my purpose? why am i in the mud? no. it doesn't happen. time passes and a beautiful bloom unfolds, this would not be if it did not have the nourishment of the home in the mud. trust, and know that GOD has a plan...for all of us.....<br />peaceful blogging, tretre's lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06447563921862063722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1421060314879163672.post-50598027781988278192009-01-28T13:48:00.000-08:002009-01-28T14:00:42.768-08:00DO you need a massage?hello everyone!

i really hope you all that read this can make it- wed. afternoon my numbers were very low, not worth the time i put into it. although i loved dancing with those of you that came, hopefully the new schedule will be better. we have lots of fun! i would love to see all my friends past- what a great way to get together and dance- since their are no real dance clubs around here- hhaa!! comment if you are interested!!<br />peaceful blogging-tre<br />dance on sista's!!tre's lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06447563921862063722noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1421060314879163672.post-30522464054536678522008-10-13T06:14:00.000-07:002008-10-13T06:29:45.560-07:00just a little prayer....seems like all we can do right now is send a little prayer....our country in a bad way( economic)....a VERY important election right around the corner. i have actually <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">re registered</span> just to make sure my ducks are in a row...but ultimately this is in the hands of GOD. we have to continue service in his name as individuals...helping hands where we can...remembering we are all children of GOD and we are all in this together....we are all equal in his eyes....we are his children...although i believe we all have a purpose in his plan..and we should act for each other with service and love....where this goes we really won't know...time will tell. but importantly he will be with us the whole way. look to him, reach for him, believe his power has no limits, love in his name..he never said it would be easy ...only worth it....<br /><br />i am asking that you join me every night this week- that is 7 days -and add in your prayer a prayer of protection for the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">american</span> people...that he guides us as individuals and as a country for a better future.....mass prayer has <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">phenomenal results...bless and thankyou</span><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected">peaceful blogging-tre</span>tre's lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06447563921862063722noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1421060314879163672.post-6161214935566988262008-09-22T13:40:00.000-07:002008-09-22T13:59:26.921-07:00Massage anyone?????hello friends...if you read this blog, and you haven't called to make an appointment, why not? I know times are tough- gas is out of site...it can be stressful..and you probably are thinking i can not afford to treat myself to a massage. i know i have the same thoughts about getting my hair cut. but i want you all to know- the reason i am a massage therapist is to help my fellow man to feel their best. the benefits of a regular massage go way past treating yourself- it increases relaxation, which in turn promotes healing within the body- it boost your immune system, flu season is right around the corner, we all need this-it increases flexibility and range of motion, it can help to decrease cellulite, it can also increase muscle tone- yes, that is what i said! bodywork and massage should be a part of everyones preventive healthcare plan. if you have a reason you haven't called- call and let me know... i will work with anyone that wants to come in...don't let the prices keep you away....and if you feel like your schedule is hectic and you don't have time...i can work with you on that too..... call me! let's get you in- i promise you will be glad you did!!!<br />blessings- tretre's

twinkle little star..how i wonderlast night as i was outside, i felt the light reflected by the moon on my face. it was so bright and so beautiful- staring into it i was mesmerized by it's glow...the whole yard was illuminated by it's power. here i am outside..close to midnight and it is like a whole other day in a strange land. the trees looked more alive than i ever remember seeing them... there was something emotionally comforting about this heavenly scene...i felt empowered by the night. my attention was drawn to a small flicker of light..it was a pinpoint of light against the dark sky..although my surrounding were very well lit by the night's guardian... the sky was so dark...this small light...a star...was calling out to me... trying to tell me something...as it would hide behind a cloud..i caught myself waiting patiently for it to show itself again....it would flicker to it's brightest then back behind the cloud....at this point, if you were to look up you would never even know this star existed...this realization shook my soul....i felt a connection so strong to this (as i could see it) little star- surrounded by the entire night....whispers into my ear said" we are this little light" ....i felt this statement throughout my entire being.....we have the power to shine so bright, we can attract the attention of others, if we allow our inner light to shine...we can mesmerize our fellow human beings with our glow- this is a HUGE responsibility...because with our soul shining we are allowing GOD himself to be evident to others through ourselves...sharing our light..but when the clouds surround us we are invisible to this act...it is like we are not even there...of course the star was behind the clouds- that doesn't change, but if we can not see his light how can we appreciate it.....the same is with us...we can get caught up in the clouds that encircle us...we can get so caught up in the storm it becomes us...and what i mean by this is we begin to let the clouds define us...others only see our clouds and hardly ever even a dim light hiding behind them...they cannot see our true selves, and we do not either.realizing we are all the same, we are all light, we are all connected- with clouds or without....by knowing this- and i do mean KNOW...break through your clouds....let your little light shine as it was intended....clouds will come and go, but the light will always be...even in the darkness of night it will be...thank you little star, for your twinkle and thank GOD for shining through you....<br />blog on...blessings tretre's

long time....<span style="color:#006600;">It has been a long time since i blogged- i am just too busy to sit down at the computer- besides when i do i have connection problems, and i am not patient with electronics...hehe...</span><br /><span style="color:#006600;"></span><br /><span style="color:#006600;">recap since last blog....</span><br /><span style="color:#006600;">daily yoga ( have to keep my center of peace in this world gone aray)I am out of school ( been that way for a while now), I passed my national Board Exam( whew!!),</span><br /><span style="color:#006600;">teaching hip hop dance here in my home town, traveling back and forth to siegel for dance ( just couldn't leave my girls), trying to get my TN state license so i can start my practice, watching Canyon play baseball for his first season ever ( i love it!!), trying to keep ryvin in my sight ( this is the hardest of all!!- he's fast)- this is what i have been up too- not to mention hanging out with my sisters and family whenever time allows for all of us- My little sister, Jennee, just graduated from The University Of Tennessee- Congrats! to her !!what an accomplishment. I am so proud!!</span><br /><span style="color:#006600;"></span><br /><span style="color:#006600;">deep breath...whew... so now about some inspiration... last weekend my sister and i went to Andy's birthday party- for those of you who do not know what i am talking about- a little one who has cancer- he will be turning 5 in june. i can't really even type about this without crying... his wish is for a heart shaped pool for his backyard.. so when he's gone his mother can lay out in the pool and know he loves her... that just breaks my heart...so to all of you, some know this story others don't... Make a wish could not grant his wish... so it is up to all of us to do what we can for Andy. there is an account at Regions Bank for donations to his wish... if you can drop by there and donate any amount - all will be appreciated!!! he had the best birthday party- spiderman was there, cotton candy, pop corn, jugglers. magician, tons of people, cookies and so on and so on-it was awsome!!! he looked like he was having so much fun!! bless him and his family.....</span><br /><span style="color:#006600;">peaceful blogging-tre</span>tre's lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06447563921862063722noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1421060314879163672.post-31977099976732063922008-04-07T08:13:00.000-07:002008-04-07T09:10:30.089-07:00<span></span> it's a new day.... and i am trying to embrace it. Grateful for it, and my surroundings.<br /><br />I recieved my REIKI II last weekend- i am so pleased with this. my master level will be soon. anyone that is curious or wants a healing session- feel free to ask me questions.<br /><br />I have been contemplating my path lately( who am i kidding- i always am)but here recently my perspective has shifted once again. the perspective you are viewing your life from has an impact on thoses around you. especially if you can only view from one perspective. jesus ( in the stories i have heard and read) - his perspective always came from a place of love and understanding. that kind of understanding is hard to grasp as a human. spiritually we all have that understanding naturally, but the human part of us struggles. the ego is such a hurdle. this perspective, the ego, can hurt so many people- not to mention how bad it can hurt yourself. i have not mastered this yet, of course, but try very hard every day to come from a jesus perspective. what is even harder i think is encountering others who can not see how their perspective hurts their loved ones- and being the loved one of someone with selfish tendencies is so painful- then here you are trying to come from a place of love and understanding toward them, but letting go of the pain they are inflicting on you is somewhat impossible.<br /><br />i come to you all that read this to please pray for healing for my son and peace for my family.<br /><br />peaceful blogging- tretre's lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06447563921862063722noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1421060314879163672.post-55956360216086204462008-03-17T19:51:00.000-07:002008-03-17T20:02:28.131-07:00so busy....hello all i haven't been blogging. my time has been absorbed lately. all for good reasons i should say. i just wanted you all to know i am still around. i am constantly thanking GOD for all he has given me. i have been thinking hard lately on some major decisions that will change my schedule. i am grateful my prayers have been answered. <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">even some dreams are coming true. i can't complain i am blessed. blessings-tre</span>tre's lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06447563921862063722noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1421060314879163672.post-48099203663220622602008-02-14T12:32:00.000-08:002008-02-14T12:52:10.155-08:00a day for love....what a beautiful day.... a day set aside to remember what this life is all about. yes i preach a lot about love so a day like today is one of my favorites. i know the retail world sucks us dry on a day like today. filling our heads with non-sense that romance is something to be bought...and yes it is so nice when the one you love showers you with gifts..chocolate...flowers...jewelry...a day at the spa (don't i wish) i could go on and on. but girls you know those things are nice but if there is no romance and heart put behind those gifts it is the same as if nothing was done. i know i would rather have the man i love spend time in his thoughts on how he is going to sweep me away on a day like today, instead of just calling the florist to take care of it. yes that is better than nothing, but still- WHERE IS THE ROMANCE GUYS???? maybe you all are having a wonderful valentines( like i hope you are) full of romance like i hope i will get tonight( although i am not holding my breath-ha)<br /><br />I changed the word of the day- check it out!<br /><br />reflection....<br /> today is set aside to remember our hearts and what power we have in that special place. love has the power to take away pain, to heal, and to change the world. after all it is where we come from- God is love. take some time today to listen to your heart. feel the emotion celebrated today-love. i added daily affirmations- (an affirmation is something you say out loud. ) the affirmation i posted today is for the heart chakra. try it and see how you like it....then let me know...blessings to your heart...<br /><br />peaceful blogging-tretre's lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06447563921862063722noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1421060314879163672.post-91766580914167178782008-02-12T12:54:00.000-08:002008-02-12T13:34:38.494-08:00I'm still laughing...hehe...<span style="color:#ffcc66;">Most of you out there know my sis and thomas and family were on family feud the past three shows...and i'm sure if you could- you watched it. Then you must be laughing like me....haha..lol...thomas is so funny!!!! and i thought they all looked beautiful too. one thing i did notice is how southern they all sounded. i don't notice this on a day to day basis. i guess because we all sound like that- I HOPE SO!!!! they were surrounded by people from other parts- so the accent REALLY stood out. anyway i will be laughing for quite some time on this one.</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcc66;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcc66;">I want to send a shout out to all those who have left comments on my blog- some i haven't talked to in years, some close to me, and some i have actually never met. blogging is so cool...and the world is becoming smaller...so any way, hello to you all! good to hear from you!- and i hope i get to check out your blogs as well when time allows.</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcc66;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcc66;">I haven't quite figured out how to design my blog- i am kinda just going along the best i can. i am a visual person..artist, so to speak...and the layout is important to me. but i was unplugged for a few years- so the internet, computer ..ect...ect...moved right along without me. and now i am trying to keep up...eekkkk.</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcc66;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcc66;">i am using my blog as a safe reflection place...it is spiritually raw and unedited...my friends know me in this way...some of you may not...so please keep an open mind when you visit...'cause soul matters are the subject here...no judgement from me...this is where i have a small voice. </span><br /><span style="color:#ffcc66;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcc66;">but more importantly i hope i can leave you( and me ) some things to ponder on...spiritually. i believe it is important to keep in touch with your spirit and your true self. stopping and sitting in silence will help you reconnect or stay in touch with your soul. i myself believe i am a spirit in a vehicle called a body- which leaves me a human. as simple or as complex as it may be that is where i am. slowly learning as i go down this road to be kinder and more loving. it is hard sometimes in this crazy fast paced world we live in. drivers cutting you off, shoppers pushing in front of you, others being selfish, people around you manipulating and being dishonest....yeh times like this is when it is hard to remember ourselves as spirits. we ( or i ) get caught up in the energy of our surroundings and give in to these untrue emotions. and when i speak of untrue- i am talking about our true spirits...what we are as we enter this world. the ego creates all of these emotions and feelings which seperate us from each other. we are all the same. even those who choose other paths than we would even dare. they are as we are. so my challenge has been to try to stay in a state of spirit, if i may. how am i doing with this???? a whole lot better than i was a year ago. and i know as time passes i will become more empowered within my spirit. love is the key, for me. love all as i would my child. this emotion is very powerful... i use it all the time...as i am sure you all do too...</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcc66;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcc66;">peaceful blogging -blessings- tre</span>tre's lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06447563921862063722noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1421060314879163672.post-346104531088639682008-02-06T09:24:00.000-08:002008-02-06T09:45:36.744-08:00bless the victims of the storm....<span style="color:#ffcc00;">Waking up this morning and stumbling to the tv... i had no idea how much damage the storms did last night. My prayers and thoughts are with the victims. Times like this will definitely stop us in our tracks and remind us to count our blessings...our family members.... and down to the warm bed and roof we have over our heads.... some people won't have that tonight. When the wrath of mother nature shakes us to the core - takes away our life - and leaves us with nothing but our spirit it can force us to choose to pull strength or choose us to become weaker. I pray that these souls can find knowledge and strength during this test put before them.

I have been so hesitant about this blogging thing, for my boys of course, but we will give it a spin. This will give my friends and family that I don't get to talk to often a way to keep up with the growth of my children.<br /><br />For those of you that don't know I just graduated from massage therapy school. This has been a life long goal and I finally feel like I am on the right track. I have to take the national board exam, which takes a while to get all the paperwork done and processsed. Then I will recieve my appointment ot take the test and hopefully pass the first time and get my license to practice.<br /><br />My oldest Canyon is in school and doing well. He is in constantly in Navy Seal training ( MY CHILD?-peace and loving me).He is a great student- and made the second honor roll. I<br /> am so proud. He loves to play video games, play with his paint ball gun, and fight off his younger brother. That leads me to Ryvin- my two year old- he is full of fire and loves to fight. He thinks he is Nacho. He loves horses and playing with his cars and trucks. He is in the process of potty training and is doing great! Hopefully soon pull-ups will be a thing of the past.<br /><br />I currently work for Siegel HS Dance team in Murfressboro, TN. I love my job!!!My job title is the choreographer. All that know me know that is just what I was born to do. Although I have turned in my resignation. I spend a lot of time in the car driving and now that school is over I feel like I must move on. I am going miss my girls so much- they are my little ones. I have learned so much from them. We have grown together. I love them. It is going to be weird not seeing them daily.<br />I am working with Gallitan HS also, but I only go there few and far between.<br /><br />So There is my first post- we will see how diligent I am with this...hehe..tre's lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06447563921862063722noreply@blogger.com5
