After several moves, twist and turns, I ended up in North San Diego County, where I lived and worked for many years.

I still hold an active Real Estate license and having thought I found my “retirement home” in Running Springs I moved there. As fate would have it when the BIG fires broke out several years ago, I was evacuated…and never went back.

I was fortunate to find a cute little place quickly in Yucaipa and still live in the same place with my dog, Mirage.

I transferred my Real Estate license to the Prudential California Realty office in Yucaipa. About a year and a half after moving into town I noticed a for lease sign on the charming 1920’s Craftsman style house just down the street from the Prudential office. One thing lead to another and that building is now where I have my Interior Decorating and retail store, Attention To Details.

Last September I opened Bella Lighting By Polito. It is located in the building directly behind Attention To Details. Its showroom is stunningly beautiful and we carry everything from chandeliers to ceiling fans.

I am blessed with two wonderful daughters. Cynthia, my eldest, lives in Oceanside with her husband and 12-year-old son. My youngest, Vanessa, lives and works in Riverside.
