New Year, New Beginnings...

Well, it has been a few weeks since I last wrote. The whirlwind of the holidays left me in a daze for a while, but I think I'm finally starting to come back to life. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's! I know I did!

I'm starting off the year in a new position at work which has been very exciting. I have been promoted to Assistant Director for Paralegal Placement at my company. It is nice finally having some stability in my life and direction. I feel like this is something that I will enjoy! Who knew that the whole time I had no idea what to do with my own life, I was probably meant to help others on their own career path! I still have a way to go in my training, but I think things are moving along quite smoothly.

In music writing news, I'm still writing for Modern Mystery Blog, moreso there than on here unfortunately. I'm also thinking about contributing to QRO Magazine starting in the next month or two. We've been in communication, but right now I just have too much going on in my life to commit to another publication. And of course, I certainly don't want to abandon this blog. One of my resolutions is certainly to spend more time writing and exploring new music and attending many many shows!

I'm heading off to the Big Apple in a couple of weeks to spend a week there, hopefully not freezing my butt off! I get to see my cousin and plan to check out some record stores while I'm there so maybe I'll stumble across some rare gems! I think we're going to check out one of my new favorite bands, White Lies, while I'm there as well so I should certainly have some great things to write about upon my return.

I did get some new music for Christmas. Currently on heavy rotation in my world is Warpaint's The Fool, The National's High Violet and The Cinematics' Love and Terror. I highly recommend all of those albums! They are pure greatness and I'm still bummed I missed Warpaint on their recent trip to Houston as I was spending my holiday in Dallas with family.

That's all I have today, but plan to be back very soon. Until then, keep rockin'! xo
