I can't believe my first semester back to school is already over!!! I must say, a lot of changes have happened even since last August.
I made the decision last month to go completely vegetarian and am now flirting with the idea of Veganism. Now, my family kind of thinks I am crazy, but what's new? I read the book Eating Animals by Jonathon Safran Foer (my favorite author) and watched the film Food Inc. (finally!) and really started to decide that food is an important part of life and it is also important that even the food we choose to eat needs to align with our core values. Anyway, here I am...have not eaten meat in over a month! Woohoo!!!
Practicing jazz really started to come together on the keys...it was like one day the light shown through and as a matter of fact, I am getting ready to go transcribe some Bobby Timmons on My Funny Valentine as soon as I finish typing this blog.
Also, I am dating a wonderful individual that is growing in and loving life everyday. Finally, opening up in a real way, not just in the way that you tell all of the obvious truths in life...What more could a girl ask for!?
Anyway, practice is calling!
Peace and Love

Hey Emily - congrats on becoming a vegetarian! Before Brady was born, I decided to as well since I didn't eat that much meat anyway and I loved it! People throw all kinds of things at you saying you "won't get necessary nutrients if you don't eat meat!!" but you totally can, for gosh sakes. I really liked it! The only reason I stopped was because you need TONS AND TONS and tons of protein when you're pregnant and I was constantly hungry 'til I started eating some chicken and fish. Maybe I'll do it again...
