Hi guys,
It's Christmas Eve so I finally have a moment to myself to sit down and write you! It's been such a busy year, with "Inside Out" and shooting a new movie, I am really thankful for everything I've been blessed with this year. I get to spend my holiday with my friends and family. Over the last few days, I've realized that life is so fragile. It's so beautiful and we really have to cherish every moment and live life to the fullest, so we never have to look back and say, "I could have" or "I should have"….
Sorry I've been rather quiet for a bit, I've been working on a very exciting new film that I'm shooting outside the US. I'm working with the great Chow Yun Fat and I'm very excited about the role, which is so different than any role I've ever played. I love the character and I'm excited to get to share something so fun with you. In prep for the film I've been training very hard, learning how to fight, fire a gun, weapons training and even some martial arts. It's fun to play such a different character when I am such a pacifist in real life. Speaking of pacifisim and peace, I want to wish everyone a happy, healthy holiday and New Year.
I think I've grown a lot this year, they say we get older and wiser (hopefully) every year. I'm 21 and starting to define my priorities and what I think is important in life. As of now I think the most important things are being with your friends and family, being kind and creating something you really love and believe in. I've been blessed this year with getting to create my first record (hopefully the first of many to come as I develop as a woman and as a musician) and I truly believe in what we created. I'm also thankful and excited to share this new film with you next year! The other most important thing: family. Even though I don't have a big or "perfect" family (really what IS a perfect family? Does it even exist? Outside of the Pleasantville-style holiday season food commercials where "perfect" kids pass the cranberry sauce to their "perfect" parents while the tree sparkles in the background ;) I am grateful for what I DO have. I am lucky to be with my friends and family and share laughs and food. Really, what's better than the holiday season with friends, a fireplace and a box of Hershey's kisses??
If I could have one Christmas wish, it would be that everyone finds peace within themselves, and with the ones they love. I know the holidays can be a stressful time, what with trying to find the perfect gift for everyone and even preparing a meal for the whole family. Try to relax and enjoy the holiday and enjoy the company you have… or at the very least, try not to get into too many food fights!! ? Laugh and have fun and relax! It's been a great year! Here's to 2008!!!
Love Always, Emmy
