About Me

I 've been in Brooklyn for almost 10 years, I think I stayed to long. I lived in Cuernavaca, Mexico for the first 10, then Santa Fe (that's home), Minneapolis for 6 - off and on College and then the dreams of singing and songwriting and "making it", so I followed my dream to NYC repeating every New york cliche(yup even Frank Sinatra) you can think of over and over like a Mantra in my head. I Love that I live the multi-culti, multi-lingui, multi-foodie,(ok I'll stop) life in this city, the music, the people, there is so much I dig about it, but I am sooo done with the insanity, the overpricedness (work wit me now), stinky subways, depression, fear, and the cynacism (me too). Bottom line, I had a great time, met a lot of folks, made great friends (lost some of them), waited a lot of tables, and its time for me to go. I'm moving in June, first to Santa Fe for a few months, knock a name or two off my travel list (Mexico (once a year if possible), Barcelona, Brazil, Costa Rica) save some money and then on to the new dream, owning my own house, renovating, running the family business, hopefully finding love and living a happy, low anxiety, high beauty, life. Now after one year in my hometown of Santa Fe, NM I changed my mind and my plan and bought a house here, yes its true from Brooklyn to Santa Fe, I hope this place keeps up with me, I hope I can keep up the travel bug, and I hope being a first time homeowner doesn't break me or kill me. Welcome back to Santa- Morena!!!!!
