I hope everyone had a great week!
As for me, I was able to go camping for a little bit in Malibu last weekend. My husband, Conrad, is Chumash (Native American) who are indigenous to the central coast of California. We were invited to stay at Nicholas Canyon County Beach Park, where they have reconstructed a Chumash Village. Its location was so beautiful and was right on the beach (2 min walk to the shore). It was amazing and very educational.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.

T-N-T(Trish Wood n Training) Journal 7 -It’s All A Balancing Act!
We all have good days and bad days. This growth season has had its share of both for me. I've experienced really bad times where I just want to sit alone crying and then I've had those days where I feel like myself again. Part of me thinks that it's hormones, but part of it is also the turmoil some competitors feel when they've finished their season. I tried to explain these feelings to my husband with little success. I explained to him that I was feeling a bit lost right now and that I wasn't sure how to live a "normal life."

How to Bling Out Your Own Suit
Most of us ladies love the dazzle of crystals and sequins when seen on competition suits, but such embellishments can be pretty expensive, especially when suits are custom made and crystallized by a professional suitmaker. However, it is possible to bling out your own suit at home as long as you have a somewhat creative hand and a lot of patience. I have endured the laborious process of applying crystals by hand on three suits. Despite the fact that this was very time-consuming, it was well worth it considering the fact that I saved hundreds of dollars by crystallizing the suits myself.
