Happy Monday, Everyone!
So, some of you guessed this, some of you wrote me asking about it, and well, some of you, I spilled the beans to earlier, but either way, I'm here to tell all of you now! :)
Are you ready?!?

That said, my life has taken a new direction, on so many fronts, personally, emotionally, in my career and beyond, and NYC has always had a hold on my heart, since the day I left it for LA LA Land almost 9 years ago!
"It's the end of an era," to quote a friend of mine, when I told her the news and my plans, and in a way, it is. It was almost a decade of my life, and it went by in a flash! Yikes!
Many life changing things happened, including some big decisions, which I do not regret, but instead know now were the right ones, as well as memories made, friendships formed and lessons learned. All of which have helped me to leave much stronger than when I first arrived, and with a better sense of myself, what I want and need in life! Yay!
My family and close friends are truly excited for me, and super supportive, which has been nothing short of helpful and comforting, and I'm forever thankful for it and them!
I recently handed in my official notice to my apt. complex, which was bitter-sweet for me, making it more real, but I know my future is bright, and I'm looking forward to all it may hold and the possibilities that are in front of me in the city where dreams are made.
As of now, I'm busy packing and downsizing significantly to only the things I know I need and want, which is helping simplify my life, and I will welcome the fresh start with open arms!
I plan to document everything, as always, and will share the journey and adventure with you from time to time here, while continuing to blog per usual.
I'm excited about all the directions this will give for my blog to grow, especially with the opportunities for it opening in the city, and excited to have all of you along with me! Woo Hoo!
Stay tuned, and know that I'm sending lots of smiles to each of you! :) :) :)

I'll be doing graphic and layout design, as well as a hosting opportunity I got via this blog that will be all about fashion! :) I've put acting on the back burner, and am pursuing other passions I've grown to love as I've gotten older, continued to learn and change, which is what I think life is all about! Yay!
