 There are many reasons why I adore Ms. Prettyman (Maris! She just got hitched to her mister -- woot! love wins!), some of which many of you have already read about over the years on TGL. But I think if I had to pick one reason today, it'd be how often she's bet on herself, and then shared the process with her fans in such open, vulnerable ways. Her energy is infectious, and I have loved following along with her journeys in music, relationship, and general live-your-best-life adventures. She released her latest set of signature Tristan tunes today, which means Brandon is fully prepared to unintentionally have all of the lyrics memorized by the end of the week...since it will be the only thing playing in our home :) After splitting with her long-time manager, this little lady got herself hitched, honeymooned and into the studio for 3 weeks of make-music-happen action before heading out on tour. Just 3 weeks! I can't remember the last time I made anything so cool happen in 3 weeks. Food for thought in the creative self department, eh? She writes: "At times, my mind totally panics and I ask myself often if I have made the biggest mistake ever by parting with my manager of 9 years? Now that I am doing everything on my own, I see how much work there is to be done to keep the ship moving along. At the end of the day I don’t regret my decisions, in my gut, I know it was the right one. Like a lot of things in life, its hard to see it clearly in the moment, but at the end of the day, it all works out. I know I just have to trust my decisions, and believe its all unfolding perfectly." Can you imagine the satisfaction of freely doing something you love -- something that is deeply personal, and meaningful to you -- in all the ways you want to do it? Trust your decisions and believe it's all unfolding perfectly -- words to live by, y'all. "The next time you encounter fear, consider yourself lucky. This is where the courage comes in. Usually we think that brave people have no fear. The truth is that they are intimate with fear. When I was first married, my husband said I was one of the bravest people he knew. When I asked him why, he said because I was a complete coward but went ahead and did things anyhow." - Pema Chodron I'll be hitting up her tour with Eric Hutchinson in December here in SF, and have my "Peace Love & Tacos" shirt ready to rock :) Congrats, TP! In Gratitude, Trish
