And a Happy New Year!

Thank you to all with whom I spent time this holiday season! I truly am blessed to have such amazing friends and family to fill the void carved by finals week and the stresses of college. It's nice to see you all! At the same time, I miss my friends in Springfield, too. Never fear, we'll be together before you know it!

I haven't seen Robert Plant in weeks. I forgot to bring him with me. I imagine Will has watered him, because will is an All-star caretaker when I neglect Robert.

In particular, I had a chance to spend an amazingly intense but short period of time with my favorite person on this earth, whom I rarely see. She inspires me to no end, and this proved to be the case in my life inside and outside of the studio. You will all meet her when the next record comes out at the end of the semester.

And now, the lists. I never actually make resolutions, let alone a single resolution. If I do, it's just something like "stay in shape" or "get good grades." Bologna, that's what I think. I've recently been excited about the intensity that is to be found within every situation in our lives, however good or bad. I'm starting 2K6 regret-free, and I plan to continue embracing the adventure and mystery and opportunity entailed in my life. This is not to say that I haven't made mistakes, but that I will not allow them to destroy my confidence or security. In doing so, regrets are gone!

So, enjoy this holiday with the understanding that no matter what choices you make, please search for the meaning behind said choices and learn how to incorporate them into your life, regret free. My challenge for you all is to let something go that you have been withholding in 2K5.

This is the sappiest post ever. What a bummer! I'm all smitten now, so subsequent posts may carry such tone in the future.
xoxo,
