Just Be Project….
By
It is my absolute honour to unveil the first instalment in my Just Be Project. I am aiming for a total of 12 designs, in 3 distinctive categories… Graphic design is something very new to me, but I was so inspired to get a message out there, I just had to give it a go. It has been such a learning curve and SO much fun.
Happiness is a choice… Joy is a choice… Peace is a choice, and Love is most definitely a choice.
We are raised to believe that the external circumstances of our lives must line up first, in order to feel happy, or peaceful, or loving. And it is in fact, the complete other way around. I have always known this to be true on an intellectual (and sometimes experiential) level, but I have never had it bought home to me more vividly than in the recent circumstances of my own life. I was doing all I could to create the outcome I wanted, but there was still doubt in my heart, and it was that very doubt that was keeping my desires at bay. Only when I could let go completely and trust in the process….. only when I decided to “Be” happy first, and wait for the rest to fall into place, that things turned around… and did so in spectacular fashion.
And out of those experiences I was inspired to create this range available as t-shirts, hoodies, long sleeve t’s and baseball shirts, encouraging others to first “Be” the desire… and then just watch how fast the outcomes show up. Also available in kids and baby sizes, and as stickers, now at REDBUBBLE.

these are fabulous … really love the concept, and the design …
Thanks so much… it was quite a risk for me to put myself out there in this very new way…. and such a relief to know that they are being well received. Really appreciated. xxoo
Very chic and pretty! Wishing you great success, Tracie!
Thanks so much
you know you have my vote!!!!
Thanks Deb xxoo
You are certainly multi-talented!
Thanks Julie… I do try
Congrats on the new line, hope it does well for you, your work is wonderful!
What a super kind comment… thank you so much xoxo
you are on a role! the sky is the limit!
as it is for all of us… we only have to believe it.
oh ya!
You, as always, are so right: if we expect our happiness to be an appendix of circumstance, we are not free, and when we don’t have all our intended degrees of freedom, we cannot function in our intended natural way! Thank you for giving me something to meditate upon, and think about, as always!
You are so welcome George, and lovely to see you again xxoo
Such a grand way to pay it forward Tracie…your light shines brighter every day. Great idea and here’s to the sky!
xo
Thanks buddy, I can just feel my US trip getting closer and closer
YAY…that’s what Iike to hear!
xo
Hmmmm, Tracie I’m not seeing a photo above?? I want to see your design!!
There must be a little glitch in the system, as you are the second person to say that… but the weird thing is, other are seeing them. I might change it from a slideshow to a gallery and see what happens.
Profound thoughts and some lovely designs. Thank you
I am so glad you enjoyed them. Thank you
Great idea .. and design … joy is my favorite.
I am so glad you like that one, as that was the one I was most worried about. Thanks
Was going to order one in red .. but not sure of the size – big girl *smile – and I don’t like the next on the male one. Normally T-shirts in woman sizes are so small even if large. Will check against the size chart.
I would be SO honoured to think of you walking around in one my t-shirts… I can’t tell you how happy that would make me
I think they are so beautiful – and I’m joyful person, love and peace I leave to the rest of the world *smile – will check the sizes tomorrow.
You ARE a joyful person, and you bring SO much joy to me
Thank you, Tracie and it goes both ways – with your stunning photos, generous heart and soul.
Love these. I passed the link along to a number of friends who’ll be interested. If you’d like, I’d love to use each picture on a post and have the opening paragraph link to the Redbubble page with your items and to the blog post about it.
That would be just amazing!!!! I would LOVE it if you would do that for me. If you could link each pic to there corresponding Redbubble page, that would be AWESOME!! Thank you so much.
Here you go — first one: http://bluegrassnotes.wordpress.com/2012/08/20/healing-journey-monday-emotions-and-your-muscles/
That’s so wonderful… thank you.. already tweeted and facebooked it
Holly made her first purchase of a hoodie “Be Happy”…. that is sooo me!
“Thank you” Tracie for a awesome hoodie! I “love” it! Can’t wait to wear it
OH WOW… it was you!!! I just saw I made the sale, and was SO excited. This is incredible. You will be the first ever to own one of my shirts. And ever since I designed this shirt, I have had the song “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” in my head 24/7. You have absolutely made me day… my week….heck, MY YEAR!!! luv ya lots xxoo
I can’t wait to wear your art kiddo! “Thank you”!!
Tracie, you are an inspiration to me and I thank you. You are a multi-talented individual whom I would like to call a gold mine waiting to discover. Your post reminds me of Psalm 27::14, “Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.”
Aren’t you so kind… thank you so much for those wonderful words. “Be Courage” is on my list of possible new shirts
Love it, keep up the great work
Thanks so much… new designs are already in the pipeline.
My dear Tracie, you are absolutely stunning! You have so many talents and I am more awe inspired by you every day – everything you do still has the Wow! factor, even after knowing you for this long! I love it, absolutely love it and am all for it!
Well Hi There gorgeous lady. Been thinking about you a bit lately. I miss you. Thank you so much for those very kind words… one does one’s best
