    As I embark on this new journey. With this new album. With my story, which is neither right nor wrong, it is simply just my story. I get a little anxious. I get a little nervous.
I know this is my next step for this journey. It is all set up perfectly. And will unfold, and unravel into exactly what is meant to be. Trusting and Surrending is always on my brain.
This healing of my heart. And hopefully a million others around the globe. I will do my best to speak my truth. To be honest. To be kind. And share my story, in hopes that someone somewhere will be comforted knowing that they are not alone. 
This is all I have ever wanted. 
Music has been there for me for as long as I can remember. I would have never dreamed that mine is doing for people what Ani Difranco’s did for me when I was 13. 
Music is the heart beat of the soul. 
Im so sensitive to negativity these days. I still trip out when I hear people complaining or calling people out on shit, or being aggressive or straight up mean. I always think to myself, “Is that really necessary? Is anything good really going to come out of that?
That is the nature of being human I supposed. I have been guilty to this behavior too, trust me, I am no saint. But as I grow older, I just imagine this world to be a more peaceful place, where we all work together. Where we actually communicate. Where we treat each other like family, like human beings, with real feelings, with real hearts. Where we just let people be. And know that when we get triggered by something, that its OUR SHIT. Not theirs. 
I like to try and make the effort everyday to leave every person I come in contact with throughout the day, better than how I found them. Whether thats the homeless man on the corner, or the girl making my coffee, or the person I catch eyes with changing lanes on the freeway. I actually smiled at a girl on the freeway just the other day, she looked at my with the most suspicious of looks! I couldnt help but smile even bigger. 
Anyhow, this little photo above just made me think of all that. 
Love you guys, Im excited.

    Bracelet Update!!!

    Hi my sweet peeps!

    Just wanted to check in with an update on the bracelets! 

    First off, Leah and I are just completely blown away by the response and support you guys have shown! We have almost 300 orders! Yeowwzaa! That’s a lot of bracelets to make! 

    Because so many orders came in all at once, they are going to take a little bit of time for us to get them made and sent out. 

    We thank you, in advance, for your patience and are trying to get them out in an orderly manner, without killing ourselves over here!

    I am also trying to get my record out…Yes, i am the queen of starting 10 projects at once. I guess I am just that excited for life :)

    A couple of things: 

    1.) IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PLACED AN ORDER, WE HAVE RECIEVED IT. IT IS ON THE LIST, AND WILL BE MAILED OUT AS SOON AS ITS MADE. PLEASE JUST BARE WITH US, AND KNOW YOUR BRACELET IS COMING SOON!

    2.) IF YOU HAVE EMAILED ME, I WILL RESPOND SOON, SO PLEASE SIT TIGHT. YOU WILL STILL BE ABLE TO ORDER A BRACELET. 

    I ALSO WANT TO ADD: YOU GUYS ROCK! 

    I love that we get to make these bracelets and share this special project with you. The emails I have gotten, regarding what “Maybe the best hasnt happened yet” means to people across the globe, are melting my heart. 

    I am so in awe of this community :) WE RULE! 

    Just wanted to keep you all in the loop! 

    Lotsa love and big hugs!!

    Seriously didnt think I could listen to an album, over and over, as much as I have Ben’s. 

    Got the chance to play a festival with him in Newquay a couple years back, and then we went for a surf. He is delightful! 

    Connected with this song this AM, and just found this amazing live version of it!

    I had to share!

    Happpy Thursday :)

    Maybe the best hasn’t happened yet

    These beautiful bracelets are finally available!!!! 

    Handmade by my darling friend Leah and I. 

    We have been cutting, sanding, stamping, polishing and bending copper for the last 72 hours!!! We are busier than Santa’s workshop over here!! 

    My friend Leah has been hand stamping protection amulet necklaces and bracelets for the past 3 years now. Each amulet is blessed by the salty beachy air, the water from the pacific ocean, the flames from the fire pit in her backyard, and the dirt from her garden. 

    For me these amulets were love at first sight. Simple, beautiful and personalized. Over the last couple years I have gifted them to almost everyone I know! Check out: www.leahinleucadia.com

    I love the look of stamped metal so much, so I brought over this silver cuff I had to see if Leah could turn it inside out and stamp it with something cool. I had ordered the cuff online and had it engraved with Hello…x (for my last album) but it was so lightly engraved, I never wore it. 

    A couple weeks later, she sent me this photo:

    She had turned the cuff inside out and stamped it with a lyric from one of my new songs, Never Say Never. It reads, “Maybe the best hasn’t happened yet”. 

    This song was the only song I hadn’t written when I had started recording my album, it just kinda popped out at the last minute. The album starts with a song called “Say Anything” and ends with a song called “Never Say Never”…kinda bi-polar if you ask me! Ha.

    The song was written after I ended things with a guy I had started dating, and when he asked if I would ever go back to my ex, I replied with something like “…well, i don’t think so, cause I know that relationship wasn’t healthy. I know I deserve more, and will find someone who will love me the way I want to be loved…but, never say never.”  

    Needless to say, my man friend did not like my response. But its true, we just never know. Crazier things have happened, even when you are so sure, things can change on a dime. It makes me want to just surrender even more, and let go of attachment and just go where feels good in my heart. Its taken me a while to get it through my head, but I truly believe the universe is conspiring in the best way possible for us, for our hearts, and for love. 

    And, I kid you not, as I type this now, from Leah’s counter top, as she is stamping away, Never Say Never just came on.

    Leah has been one of the few people who I’ve sent tracks to while we were recording. She got to hear all the songs as they were being completed, and I think she’s been listening to them on repeat ever since. 

    She choose this lyric for the cuff I gave her, out of all the lyrics she heard.

    She gravitated to it because at the time she was going through a situation where, in her words, “She thought she had found the best, but then she realized she hadn’t, what she thought she had, disappeared after 2 months…” As she was trying to figure out what to stamp, that lyric played..and she had an AhHa moment where she thought, oh right…Who knows..Maybe the best, HASNT happened yet! 

    Thus the bracelet was born, and I of course fell in love with them, and then everyone else fell in love with it. And now we have decided to make a limited number of them. For the lovers, for the dreamers, and for the believers.

    These are for anyone who has ever surrendered to what is possible. 

    They are on copper, and made with love. 

    If you are interested in ordering one, they are $55 (that includes shipping). 

    Payments are accepted through PayPal and can be sent to: buylove@tristanprettyman.com

    Please make sure you include a current mailing address on your order. 

    If you have any questions or feel called to write me a little letter, you can do so at: tprettysing@gmail.com - I can’t promise I will return an email right away, but I can promise that I will read it. And I will try to respond. Although, I have been known to respond to emails a year later…whoops! I digress…

    Leah and I are so excited to share these with you! 

    WE LOVE YOU!

    And we LOVE the POSSIBILITY of EVERYTHING!!! 

     

    ****Please be patient with us as we are custom making each bracelet. We will try to get them out as soon as possible, but sometimes it may take up to 2 weeks for completion. This commitment to handmade means that we want you to love what you ordered!
