A story that cares about you
If my siblings, friends, and right about anyone who has spent more than an hour with me, had to describe me with one word, they would all laugh and say "weird". I'm the kind of weird obsessed with stories. I love that feeling of seeing someone see what I imagine as I describe it to them, seeing them believe as much as I do, or feel invested in a few minutes to give criticism.

Purpose Is My Passion
This week marks the end of my twenty sixth season teaching piano in the community I call home. Children of the children I once taught come to the studio for lessons now. I love each child who sits on the piano bench as though they are members of my family. I suppose this means that my role in many student’s lives over the years has been a natural, albeit pseudo, progression from older sister, to mother, to grandmother.

dayTree
Daytree is an idea that I came up with a few years ago. The goal is to inspire and encourage people thru creative ways to learn, grow, and live life to it's fullest following their passions. I wanted a place where I could share the music and stories I write and also feature other creative artist doing unique and amazing things. Art is anything imagined materialized in any form, so I don't want to limit it. But, keep it focused on the positive to help ourselves and others grow creatively, spiritually, and be more productive.

Blood, Sweat & Fire
I couldn't see a thing. I only knew there was another firefighter in front of me because we had came into the house together. All I felt was the immense heat radiating from in front of us and the steady, cold air blowing over my face from behind my mask. The muffled sound of my Assistant Chief talking us through the house from the front door, barley registered in my mind.

An Artist's Utopia
Creation is what my spirit yearns to do. It is what my life revolves around, and it is my life's purpose. Through creation, I wish to express myself and set a change in movement. I wish to have made some sort of mark on the world - or at least a considerable group of people, by the time I am gone.

Painting is my Passion
My passion is painting, oil painting that is. Oil painting is an art form I picked up while in college and I’ve been doing it ever since. It has helped me explore various subject matter through different styles and it has helped me realize my true calling in life. Before I picked up painting I thought I was going to be sitting in front of a computer all day designing, but painting came into my life and gave me a focus. A focus that will last for eternity.

Monthly Magic
Sewing a fantasy to life is my hobby. I look at dresses and costumes from animation, TV shows, movies, videogames, and storybooks then I create them. I don’t just create a simple dress, I create a moment of magic that makes people stop and stare. From elegant ballgowns that change colors when you dance to large fairy wings that glisten in the light, these are the fantasies I would share. There is a problem within the cosplayer and costume-making community where more experienced craftsmen keep every little secret they can for themselves. This secrecy creates a large and expensive barrier between the novices and the experts. I wish to remedy this by creating a channel in which not only the basics are taught but also more advanced techniques as well as more budget-friendly resources. This will allow those who wish to learn more to have the experience shown to them. This is a lot cheaper than wasting the money experimenting and failing on expensive materials.

Gentle Stories of Discovery
It perched on the mantelpiece, aloof, self-assured, and provocative. A seemingly harmless rectangle of card bearing its messages in sophisticated font and branding colours. Yet I felt the thud of my heart dropping to the floor each time I glanced in its direction. Too ashamed to respond, yet too frightened not to, I allowed the whole business of the invitation to consume me.

Writing Forever
Music did not begin as a passion. When I started high school I learned to play "In The End" by Linkin Park faster than my classmates, so I moved on to the guitar portion and learned to play whatever basic chords they set for us faster than my classmates as well. My parents bought me a cheap guitar and I just fiddled with it.

Carmin Gregor's games
Once upon a time there was a little introverted mixed race kid who was struggling to fit in and be accepted. He wanted to become a professional artist and express his potential to the world and he promised himself that one day everyone would see what he was truly capable of. So he would spend his after school evenings in his room, writing songs and performing them to his invisible audience, pretending that the remote control was a microphone. And then he would create and play stories and characters, drawing ideas on his notebook and recording them with his camera. Two big dark eyes observing those famous tv and movie stars on the screen and wishing to be one of them and live that fantasy. And he always knew that his art was the key to joining the team but little did he know that it wasn’t about escaping from himself and turning into someone else but finding and loving himself instead. That was the real game, the most beautiful and difficult journey he was going to make.

Journey to Dreams
writing...... Someone once told me that to be passionate is what makes humans different from other living beings. But my passion is many things. Why must I choose one thing? However, my ultimate goal…I want to lead by example; to change the world to be a better place-one step at a time. And I hope my children will keep my legacy going. To make a change, risks have to be taken, and you cannot fear being in the public's eye. The things you love doing and you want to see made better you just have to go out and do it-regardless of what anyone else thinks or does. Just listen to your heart. That’s why even though the past 4 years have been rough on my family, I haven’t given up on our dreams. My husband’s deepest desire is to start a restaurant. Mine is to create THAA and to invite others to join me on my journey via Youtube, blogs, and vlogs. In other words Trisha’s Haven for Archaic Animals. When I achieve it, it will be the largest and most successful Endangered Animal Breeding facility in the world. Possibly even bring back human caused extinct species to rejoin the world-like the dodo and thylacine. I know achieving this won’t be easy-but it’ll be worth it.
