another new life

So after a year back in nyc, I’m now in Las Vegas. LAS VEGAS! I still can’t comprehend what’s happening. I am absolutely obsessed with NYC – it is my #1 first true love and always will be. But as much as I adore the city, it will always be my home and I needed to make another change – this time for my career.

In the past year, I have gotten divorced, lived in 3 different states, moved to 3 different NYC apartments and had 3 different jobs. I am clearly not one to shy away from change. I have always wanted to get back into the nightlife and hospitality industry – bartending and doing events at clubs and lounges was always my passion – but I always thought my life would keep me in NYC. After 3 years in Florida, I had finally made my way back home.

Now, I am gone again.

And I know it’s the best thing I have ever done for myself.

I’m living in Las Vegas, working in nightlife PR and really loving life. Of course, it’s not NYC, but I refuse to compare. Nothing is like NYC. But Vegas is actually a pretty amazing place – there is way more to it than the Strip. And, believe it or not, I live a much simpler, relaxed life here. Sure, it’s only been 11 days, but the sense of peace I have is something I’ve never had in NYC. I thrive off of the energy in Manhattan, unable to stay home or go home. Here, I find myself going out just as often – I’m just not as frenetic and anxious.

I’ve moved into one of those full-service luxury buildings I could never dream of affording as a Manhattanite. I walk everywhere. The weather is fantastic. There is amazing yoga and passable juice bars. And the people are just unbelievably friendly.

Of course, I’m still getting settled so we’ll see. But I couldn’t be happier with my decision and am excited to see what my future in not-so-Sin City will bring…
