i just wrote this as a note in facebook and thought it made sense to share it here too...

--------

2010 was such a difficult year for me yet full of opportunities for growth, i begin 2011 in new york and quickly move to lima... who am i fooling, i'm incredibly scared of this challenge! having said that, i was also freaked out  when i moved to new york ten years ago and so many incredible and beautiful things happened because i took that decision. so here i go again, being a nomad and dragging my little world with me in a bag one more time. i am slowly learning to build a portable home...

 i wonder where i'm supposed to pack all the experiences, the good and the bad-and the magical moments working with children from all over new york city when i saw in the flesh how important art is in people's lives. i'm so incredibly sad today because i feel the time to say goodbye is so close and i haven't finished with this city, but are you ever? everyone tells me you can never leave new york, it's true, so i'll have to take it with me. somehow.
