I am feeling energized and ready to take on the world after these past couple days off! Sometimes thats all you need is just a couple days to not have to worry about anything. This Christmas was really great. I loved spending time with my family and eating till the only way I could transport myself is a wheelchair or to roll!! HA. (Thats the best.) I got to lay on the floor and fall asleep in front of the fire, while we watched Christmas movies.
One of the things that kept coming up in conversations over the season, was about the meaning of Christmas. I was watching The Grinch on Christmas Day and he said something very insightful to me... He was talking about how all the Who's care about are the presents, and then when the day is done, all the presents come to him in the TRASH. I laughed at that part because inside I saw how true that was. I didn't want to be one of those people that got so caught up in the gifts, that I lost the true meaning and beauty of Christmas. The Grinch got me to look in the mirror at myself! Who knew? ;) At the end of the season, the memories and time spent with the people you love are what you keep close to you forever. I don't mean to get all sappy, but my most enjoyable moments and memories of this Christmas were the simple ones, like laying in front of the fire and relaxing with my family.
Later this week I'm flying back down to LA. Im really excited, it seems like forever since I've been there! I have just a few days to get caught up on all my work, and then off to the sunshine for a week. New Years Eve there should be really fun.. I'm not sure what ill do yet, but I'm sure theres plenty of parties and events to get in on. With the year coming to an end, I have spent a lot of time reflecting on what I accomplished, where I need to go, and how to re direct my course in 2012. Im feeling very confident that big things are coming in 2012.
This year has been a whirlwind, but I would not take back any of it. I have become strengthened, and know now more than I have ever known. I feel empowered and inspired. I have gained more knowledge and success in this past year than I have in my entire life! God is good, and I continue to be blessed everyday. I am really pumped and excited to see what 2012 stores!
I hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekend and wish you all a great rest of 2011!
Love Always,
Tiffany

Photo shoot and NEW song coming out!
This week has been very busy but so rewarding! There have been so many technical difficulties and bumps in the road, but with the end of the week coming up, I feel that I got through most of the hard stuff. I am actually starting my hiring process tomorrow, to get an incredible assistant to help me out with everything I suck at! ;) Getting an assistant is WAY overdue, and after this week its even more obvious that I can not do everything on my own. I need at least 3 of me, and as far as I know I'm not a triplet, and am in serious need of some help! Im really excited to start looking for the right person(s). Its great to have someone to learn from, and not having to spend 2 hours doing what they would do in 10 min!
I also had my photo shoot yesterday, that went really good! Ive been wanting to get some amazing pictures for a while now, and we got some great shots! We played around with some motion photography of me dancing and moving around, They turned out so cool! Im really excited to see them finished, and be able to share them. We started the shoot on a white backdrop and then went out to the city to take some pictures with some cool architecture, doors, and scenery. Theres a ton of variety from this shoot! I will be posting those soon.
And the most exciting part of this week for me is being able to ANNOUNCE the release of my new song "Need to Be Free" Tuesday, December 20th! Ive had this song done for a while, and have been waiting for the right time to release it and the time has come! I really love this song, it was a lot of fun for me to write and record. I was inspired by a common story among couples and people in general. I started to see this trend and felt like writing a song about it. The song is about feeling suffocated by another person. This person doesn't leave you alone, constantly trying to control, or just simply all up in your grill!! In this song I'm saying "Back off me" and standing up against this person that I've been allowing to treat me this way. Its an empowering, sassy song but also a really fun, dance vibe too. I can't wait to have you guys hear it! Its one of my favorites and I hope it will be one of yours too :)
It will be available to listen to on Facebook, www.tiffanyparker.com, and my Reverbnation page on Tues, December 20th! Although, it will only be available for download through my mailing list.
