💖“Love Your Frenemies and Cultivate Your Inner Fruit Basket”💖

👀Hey! 💕

It’s your girl Trixie, 

Coming at you with a double dose of scripture and sass. Today we’re diving into two powerhouse passages—Luke 6:27-28 and Galatians 5:22-23—and yes, I’ll make it funny. Because if you can’t laugh while loving your enemies and growing your spiritual fruit, what are we even doing here?

💗1. Love Your Enemies…Really?! (Luke 6:27-28)

“But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you.  Bles those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. 

                 -Luke 6:27-28

 

Translation for Today’s Trixies:

“Okay, Jesus, I get the love-your-enemies bit… but what about Brenda in HR who ‘accidentally’ stole my lunch every Tuesday? And Chad from the gym who hogs all the treadmills while flexing? Am I supposed to bake them cookies and send them thank-you cards?”

Short answer: Yes.
Longer, sassier answer: Yes, but let’s do it with style.💖💖💖💖💖💖

  1. Love Them from a Distance.
    You don’t have to invite Brenda over for Sunday brunch. A quick, silent prayer for her next breakroom snack choice? That counts.

  2. Do “Good” (on Your Terms).
    Hate chugging a kale smoothie? Sip it anyway, and dedicate the nausea to Chad’s cardio domination. It’s the sacrificial offering of patience.

  3. Bless the Curse-ers.
    “Blessed are you, foul-mouthed Starbucks barista who spelled my name ‘Trixxi’—may your typo game forever confuse flat white orders.”

  4. Pray for the Mistreaters.
    If you can muster, “Lord, turn their heart of stone into a pillow of compassion,” that’s some next-level forgiveness. Bonus points if you mean it.


2. Cultivate That Spiritual Fruit Basket (Galatians 5:22-23)

“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness and self-control.  Against such things there is no law.” 


—Galatians 5:22–23

What Your Soul Needs (And Yes, It’s a Produce Aisle):

  1. Love: Not the “I’ll text you back when I feel like it” kind—real, “I’ll share my last piece of chocolate” kind.

  2. Joy: Like giggling at your own jokes in the car. (We all do it.)

  3. Peace: Calmly sipping decaf and reminding yourself that coffee can’t solve actual problems.

  4. Patience: Especially when babying your houseplants (RIP to Mr. Fiddle Leaf—I tried).

  5. Kindness: Holding the door for everyone, even the person with six grocery bags and a toddler screaming for candy.

  6. Goodness: Doing good deeds sneakily, so you can be your own superhero.

  7. Faithfulness: Sticking to your morning devotional—even when your blanket whispers, “Five more minutes…”

  8. Gentleness: Petting the neighborhood cat quietly, instead of chasing it for Instagram likes.

  9. Self-Control: Walking past the sale rack at Target without tossing everything in your cart. (…Okay, maybe that’s a stretch.)

3. Putting It Together: Trixie’s Action Plan

  1. This Week’s #TrixChallenge

    • Pray for one person you secretly can’t stand. (Yes, I’m talking to you, Theft of My Chicken Salad Karen.)

    • Text a friend a random act of kindness: “I just prayed for you and your electric bill. You’re welcome.”

  2. Fruit-Tracking Journal

    • Draw a little fruit basket on Monday and color in one “fruit” every time you demonstrate that characteristic. At the end of the week, reward yourself with something healthy-ish, like dark chocolate-covered almonds. (Spiritual fruit meets real fruit!)

  3. Share the Laughs

    • Drop a comment below with your funniest “loving-your-enemy” story. Bonus: funniest plant-parenting fail.

Final Trixie Truth: Loving your frenemies and growing your spiritual fruit isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up, one awkward prayer and kale smoothie at a time. And if you can laugh at yourself in the process? Honey, that’s heavenly.

Stay unfiltered, stay anointed, and go be the sparkle no one expected.

—Trixie ✨

Verse Recap:

  • Love your enemies & bless the haters: Luke 6:27-28

  • Spirit-fruit goals: Galatians 5:22-23

A Few Good Men ( Just a Day in the life of TRIXIE) A story too funny not to share

  There I was, playing my usual role of “Totally Not Eavesdropping Walmart Spy” in the checkout line, when I lock eyes on Mr. Mystery in front of me. He’s got a bouquet so lush it could make Martha Stewart weep, two bottles of whiskey that scream “I’ve got plans,” and a giant vitamin pack that says “I’m trying to live past 40.” Honestly, you can tell an entire biography about someone just by their grocery haul. The cashier leans in with that conspiratorial wink and coos, “You must be in big trouble, honey—those flowers are stunning!” She practically flutters around him, pitching scenarios: anniversary rescue, apology for forgetting Valentine’s Day, maybe he accidentally joined a florist’s loyalty program. My inner romantic couldn’t help but cringe for this poor guy under the floral spotlight. So, I clear my throat and jump in with my best “nobody panic” tone: “Or—hear me out—you’re just a really nice guy who likes to surprise a lucky lady.” Because, duh, chivalry is alive and well...

✨ Blog Title: Becoming Her: The Journey Back to You✨

There comes a moment in every woman’s life when she looks in the mirror and realizes… she doesn’t recognize the girl staring back at her. Not because she’s aged—because she’s evolved. Because she’s spent so long pouring into everyone else, she forgot what it felt like to pour into herself. Maybe you’ve been a mother, a wife, a caretaker, a fixer, a “hold it all together-er.” Maybe you’ve been surviving instead of living. Maybe you’ve lost pieces of yourself trying to be everything to everyone else. Trixie sees you. Because Trixie is you. 🪞Learning to Love the Woman in the Mirror Loving yourself isn’t about bubble baths and affirmation sticky notes (though I love a good post-it pep talk). It’s about choosing yourself. Again. And again. And again. It’s about saying: “I matter.” “I deserve softness and joy.” “I am allowed to take up space.” Self-love is a daily decision—some days it’s loud and fierce. Other days, it’s just getting out of bed and brushing your teeth when your heart is hea...

Making Wave TRIXIE UNFILTERED™ BLOG

  🖤 TRIXIE UNFILTERED™ BLOG Episode Recap: How One Thought Shift Can Send Ripples Through Your Entire Life 🎧 Inspired by The Mel Robbins Podcast Let’s be real, babe. You ever listen to something that hits so hard you just… pause the dishes mid-scrub and stare off into the void like, “Damn. That was meant for me.” Yeah. That’s what happened when I listened to Mel Robbins break down how one internal shift — just one — can send ripples through your entire life. This isn’t about hustle culture. It’s not about waking up at 5AM, drinking beetroot juice, and manifesting a Tesla. This is about radical awareness . 💥 “You’re not stuck — you’re rehearsed.” Mel said something that punched me in the gut: “You’re not stuck. You’ve just been rehearsing the same pattern so long that it’s become your reality.” Whew. Let that marinate. How many times have we told ourselves we can’t change because “this is just who I am”? Trixie used to say that. Now Trixie knows better. We’re not stuck. ...
