I'm totally into music and international films. Love Jazz, latin jazz, the standards,cabaret-those are my thing. I love to read on alternative, natural and homeopathic medicine. Love to mix my own concoctions of homemade natural skin care. I don't rely on conventional medicine at all. I enjoy reading on anything having to do with children. Love to read biographies, plays, and sitting in coffee shops watching the world pass by. I CAN TOTALLY ADOPT A CAFE LIFESTYLE!I enjoy cooking for my family. I've recently learned how to bake and my home smells of fresh baked bread and pastries-yumm!THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING MORE GRATIFYING THAN BAKING YOUR OWN BREAD, I SWEAR TO GOD! My ultimate favorite is going to a club and listen to live music, usually jazz, latin jazz or cabaret. I like being by myself for the most part, when I am not with my children. I hate small talk!!! I hate networking, even though it's a massive flaw to have in my career,I enjoy talking about music, music history, alternative medicine, alchemy, hermeticism, ancient cultures, plays, theatre and the way the world is evolving.

My grandmother, Ofelia. She lived an amazingly complex and painful life and was misunderstood and judged through most of it. But through it all she remained a good and loving human being. She believed in me and gave me strength. She never judged, questioned nor criticized my life. I miss her. My children are my rock and inspire me everyday to keep going no matter what. They most definately keep me alive and positive in this insane world. I strive to be a better person because of them.All artists who remain artists and do not succumb to this crazy system we live in.And of course, my parents. No matter what, they are always there for me.
