Zippy's First Blog Entry...Happy New Years!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! On the top of my list of New Year's resolutions my goal is to write in my new blog at least once a week if not more. My friend Tricia, an inspiration, religiously reports on all events that transpire in her life. I aspire to be as informative as her, but it will be challenging with all the endeavors I'm continuously involved in. With that said, I welcome you to my first submission a couple days after the New Year....a time for change. I look back on last years events and can't help but think I was more dissatisfied then pleased. Yes, singing at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, The Skirball Center (at NYU), The Duplex (cabaret club), and at Avalon (former Limelight) with Uptown Express and NYCGMC has been completely fulfilling artisitcally, but with my personal goals (and romantic life) I felt a sense sadness & emptiness.

So with that said....my first New Year's resolution is to become a healthier and "try" to take advantage of my gym membership. For those of you who know me this will be difficult, but I'm determined to give it a chance. My other resolution is to love myself, remember to breathe and to allow myself to say no if I have to. I have a tendency to try & please everyone which isn't always a good thing, so I plan to be more organized, make plans accordingly and to make sure I have quality "me" time. :-) And if a romantic life is somewhere in that equation I will embrace it with open arms.

I'm off to meet my friend Chris from L.A. for a little Indian cuisine & then a night of drinks at B Bar (Beige). The weather is horrible (raining and cold), but that won't stop this New Yorker from pressing on. I'm obviously not speaking for the entire New York City community..hehe.

So in conclusion, I leave you with the beautiful words of Tricia Wang, "Live a Lovely Day!!!"
