Happiness

Creativity makes me very happy

Happiness is one thing that never goes out of fashion. Its an emotion that sometimes seems fleeting . I went away to Maine with my cousin and her family for a night last weekend. They knew I needed sometime away to get to know happiness again. So I will show you what makes me happy. 
Hopefully you will tell me what brings you happiness. 


Live Music makes me happy 
Sleeping makes me happy 
Washing my face it makes me feel new and shiney
The laughter of my niece and nephew watching them grow up 
Street Art makes me happy the cave drawing of our civilization
Playing in puddles in the rain 
Going to the movies love the anticipation and the smell of pop corn 
Autumn
leaves and the smell in the air 
Rainy Weekends in Coffee shops reading 
Enjoying a nice glass of wine with friends 
Im part Swedish nothing makes me more happy then a good cup of coffee.
Especially on a morning walk by the ocean let's say happiness overload

Watching my cat sleep makes me happy . He looks so peaceful and happy , though when he wakes up nipping my ankles ouch !  
Beautiful Flowers make me happy ( I prefer them in the wild but love the way the cheer up a room ) 
Happiness ( When a small creature trusts you and love you)  








The ocean is for me a place where the toxins of life melt away. You see first hand natures power how you are just a guest here on this planet. Listening to the waves on a quiet beach during moon rise makes my heart so happy. I can think clearly feel connect to everything in that short time its a peaceful feeling




Taking time to smell the roses and my Chuck Taylor sneakers
My sneakers bring me happiness we are like old friends
we have been on many adventures together. I know that they should be retired soon
Though being a women in my late 30's I have a deep sympathy for things aged and worn being tossed out for
the younger version . So my little Chuck Taylor's will be put into a sculpture . Until that day we have a few more happy little accidents to trip over together .

Infinity Scarf ( Scarf Junkies Must Have )




One trend I love this fall is the infinity scarf. Seriously you can wear it so many ways its just awesome. I love accessories that multi task. I noticed them on the college campus near my home. I loved looking at the different ways the girls wore them. This trend isn't only for the 20 somethings. In my opinion it will truly become a classic staple. I found a very informative Youtube with the many way you can rock the infinity scarf this fall and winter.

Morning Grind : Keeping Grounded

Tracey J Whitney 2013 ©



I think in all aspects of life there is a certain amounts of joy followed by disappointment. You have to take the time to smell the roses I got into a horrible mood woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Then just stayed there with gloom and doom in my heart. I realized what a selfish person , I was given another day on planet earth this is a gift. So I decided to make the most of it and go in search of the silver lining that must be there. I did find it eventually the weird thing is it came in the ways of a shower. Where I seemed to wash the mood away with the simple act of exfoliating and taking care of myself. I gave my self an enzyme facial ( which is really cheap Freeman makes a good one) . Then clipped , filed , polished my nails . I was being kind to myself . A friend was painting my toe nails one night we were having a girls mani pedi , junk food , John Hughes movie marathon.I kept jumping and wouldn't relax as she trimmed my nails. She said you really need to learn to be kind to yourself. Let your friends be kind to you also it seems you can do for others till the point of burn out. Though you never are kind to yourself its not a crime. That really sunk in with me for allot of reasons raised allot of questions. Though years later I took the time to be kind to myself it worked. I was able to shift my mood stay grounded moving on from the funk which that had taken residence in my head. Later that evening I called in to a radio show to ask a question of a entertainer I like. I was treated quiet rude by the person answering the phone. Then put on hold only to be dropped with no explanation. I was angry at the fact I was treated this way. After a couple of rants let's just admit it being a diva ( I am a creative person this happens ) . I decided to just forget about in the grand scheme of things this was nothing. That I needed to stay grounded in so many ways. So the moral of the story be kind to yourself and remember to stay grounded . So I approach a rather dreary day outside with a bit of sunshine know that the day may hold wonderful things I need to be positive to receive and give them.
