Let's Talk Numbers...

In 47 Days I will be 35 years old with 3 children ages 12, 9 and 1. I have 8 days before I become a volleyball coach again but 107 until we go through "Terrible 2's", there are 86 days until Christmas and 92 days until New Years... If Katrina is 6'2, 165lbs, how many times will she lose her mind in the meantime???

The answer is ZERO.
Every year I go through a phase leading up to Scorpio season and to my birthday where I dedicate myself to something important to me for 30 days. We have a blast for Halloween, then the 15 days before my birthday, I tie up loose ends, get rid of old things including people and clean.
This saves me and other people from the dreadfully ubiquitous "New Year, New Me!" posts later on social media. I'm thankful my birthday is in November so I can scroll and laugh, laugh and scroll.
They be Lyyyiiiiiiiin!! 😂
No matter what I dedicate my 30 days to, I always try do a system flush: deep meditations and a body cleanse at the very least. I prefer to go into my new year as clear headed, healthy and happy as possible. The years that I neglected to do so didn't go so well.
FLASHBACK: When I turned 32, birthday plans didn't go as expected. Instead of spending my birthday at a nice restaurant with expensive food and good friends...I ended up at my childrens father's house. I was already generally infuriated with his mediocre inconsistent "parenting" but then he said something slick and his wife called from a blocked number and said "Happy Birthday Bitch!"
That set me off.
So I pulled up on em...(that means I went over there completely unannounced) I threw a BIG cup of cold ice water in he and his wife's face.
Then I ran like hell!!
They never saw it coming...Best birthday present I ever gave myself!! 


But look the point is, I'm crazy but not so much when I'm at my best mind, body and spirit. So the flush is a must.
The fun part is deciding what to dedicate 30 days to. In past years it has been good deeds according to the number I'm turning, I've taught myself how to wrap my head in scarves, saved money and taught myself to meditate. For my 35th, I'm pretty set on doing 30 days of Dream Work.
The last couple years I have been healing, working and readjusting to being a mother of 3. It's been a wonderful learning experience, they're all doing so great! But it's time for me to manifest some things for myself again. So I've picked 3 Goals to lay the foundation for: Publish a book, Travel and Better Business. I'm going to do 5 things every day to make it happen. I've already started, Im always doing something, every little bit counts. But the plan is to Go Even Harder because I know 30 days of Harder Work can change and manifest anything.
They say it takes 21 days to change/create a habit, 28 to break one and average 66 days to truly embrace and stick to a new habit. Fuse that with 30 days of better health, a simultaneous 30 days of focus and 15 days of self inventory...By the time I actually turn 35, I should be celebrating progress on a self published book, starting a new business and have my passport and travel plans for Santorini, Greece.
I also said I'm going to restart this blog as part of my 30 Day routine...Done & Done.
Day 1.

An ACN Aha!!

I have found that if you don't change with life, it will surely strangle you to death as it moves on without you... I'm a single mother of 3 beautiful children now and an independent business owner, established in Tampa, FL. I offer essential residential and business services and as an entrepreneur it's my goal to generate multiple sources of income for my family. To do so I've had to change, sometimes drastically but always remarkably. I offer interior design services, event decor, arts & crafts, and more recently, brokering essential residential & business services. My younger brother Bounder introduced me to ACN almost a year ago because I needed extra and residual income to provide financial stability for my family. Having 3 children is wonderful but it is not cheap by any stretch of the imagination. At ages 12, 9 and 2 years old, food and clothing alone for each of them is akin to a small fortune, especially when they get their height from a 6'2 Mom a...

Trina Is Crazy x 3

TRINA IS CRAZY!! This shall forever be my epitaph for this particular human experience. Whether it has been for a few hours, a few months or a few decades, it has been the accurate and most common way to describe the good, bad and ugly way in which I deal with this thing called life so far. Especially, once you add to it that I am a Single Mom of 3 beautiful children, they're 11, 8 and 7 months, I must be crazy!  This is the part where most people bring the conversation to a screeching halt or they try to carry on but their face is twisting with questions until finally they come out with the 2 most common questions:  1. Are You Crazy? Yes, I am. That's why I always lead with it because that's half the fun of being me. In this day and age, having more than 2 children and being single is sometimes seen as a fit of insanity, a cry for help...a one way ticket to hell because you will never get your life back.  2. How Do You Do It!? Always in 3's. Apparently, the univer...

Good Grass & Green Eyed Monsters

I have encountered quite a few green eyed monsters lately that don't undertand I have the same free will they do. The only difference is what we decide to do with it. Still, so many think the grass is greener on the other side but in reality, its just greener where I watered it. Life is the lawn but the water is sacrifice, hard work and taking full responsibility for that life. My "lawn" is getting better but there's still quite a few patches that need some tlc. The parts that are lush and green are great but there shouldn't be much envy or jealousy if people use their free will wisely. I've been told I'm so lucky I don't have bad children. Its almost like the idea is bad behavior is a standard feature of children. I prefer to say I'm blessed, no doubt. The reason they aren't Bebe's kids is because I sacrifice and make a serious conscious effort to pour all my love, knowledge and attention into them. Like most parents, I've also d...
