Day 487

Happy New Years to all! Its wonderful to look back on 2006 and see all I accomplished - graduating from college, touring with new west, holding a great senior recital, starting a teaching studio, moving into a new apartment, and, oh yea, losing around 50 pounds.

Looking forward, this year is going to be a great one. Im still working on my health goals and working every day to achieve them. Even though Im a bit off right now, being on vacation and all, I know that by march Ill start seeing some more results. By may or june Ill be at my goal. While I know its a bit dangerous to write that, (looking back at August and seeing how these past few months I have failed my objectives), Im going into january knowing the challenges that lie ahead of me, and forcing myself to compensate for them. Frankly, I can't wait to not have to blog anymore about this and start writing about my musical and career goals!

New West will be recording here in a couple of weeks which I am very excited about. Our new record is going to be amazing and Ill keep everyone posted with regards to how that goes. We'll be touring this summer, probably in july-august so Ill be contacting many of you to locate good venues and residencies for our '07 tour.

Have a good holiday tonight!
