About Me

"wabi-sabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature, of accepting the natural cycle of growth, decay, and death. . . it reveres authenticity above all" - tadao andoBeing a wabi-sabi woman in our American culture can be a challenge. My mother has always told me, "It's not so much that people change, but that they become more truly who they really are." The experience of authenticity, for me, is much more a process of uncovering, that discovering. Lofty words, right? But what does it really mean? My path is the process of figuring that out.I love to read. I love to follow my curiosity down twisting paths of research. I love to combine science, nature, literature and daily experiences into syncretic creations that I can share with clients and congregations. I love to public speak. I love to laugh and have a truly obnoxious appreciation of puns. I love my parents and enjoy long conversations with them both, on a weekly basis. I LOVE my kid! She is the most amazing person I have ever met and has taught me more about how to practice authenticity, in the past 8 years, than I could have imagined possible. I love being a mother and all the opportunities to become a better person that if presents. I love the intense aliveness that I experience when I am intimately connecting with people. I love to listen to people's stories about what is real for them, what makes them come alive, regardless of what that is. Enthusiasm is a huge turn on for me. I have been losing my hearing since I was 5 years old and am now almost completely deaf. I have phenomenal speech-reading skills, and most people would never know how hearing impaired I am. My hearing loss leads to some of my most contradicting realities. I love music, but can't understand lyrics. This may be why most of my favorite music is either world or ***, although I am an avid fan of classic rock. Oh, and the blues - that's a wabi-sabi thing, for sure. I love to listen to people, but often I hear more of what is not being said and that can offend some people. A lot of people hide behind their words, not realizing how much their body language is giving away. Because of the energy it takes, I am not a fan of small talk. I'd rather sit in silence with someone than exchange banalities. I value face-to-face communication above all else, but have a kid-on-Christmas-morning love for technology, too. Texting and FaceTime rock! Good God, I have no idea how to answer this. So much would depend on you! I love to learn and experience new things, and since enthusiasm is such a turn on for me, I can imagine that sharing something you wildly enjoy would work. I can imagine that meeting for coffee or frozen yogurt, over a game of Scrabble or Clue, could be fun. I love taking long drives and motorcycle rides. I really enjoy DIY projects and power tools. I enjoy boating and being on or near the water. I love hiking and discovering new places. I also enjoy cooking (and eating), as well as watching others cook.

    Well a little about me I love the outdoors esp when it comes to the water im scuba certified and try to go somewhere at least once a year. I love to 4x4 and rock climb . I also like to get dressed up and go out dancing and to the opera or live theater I love animals esp horses and dogs. I've been doing hair for the past 19 yrs and love it. I love all different types of music from classical to r&b and country and even some rap I love 80's rock and lots of to days rock to. I'm lds looking for and lds man im not looking to hookup ,makeout, or have any kind of sexual encounter!! I'm looking for a real relationship that could turn into something long term . So if your just looking to hookup and make out i'm not your girl. Don't get me wrong I love to kiss just prefer it be someone I have feelings for. So if you think that may be you leave me a msg.So I found this thought and really liked it and though I'd share it!You can only give away what you already have inside yourself. True giving happens when you are overflowing from the inside, and cannot help but share. When there is so much love within you that it has to flow to others or you would burst open. There is no thinking involved, no willpower in such sharing. It just flows out. If you have to force yourself to be kind, to love, to feel compassion, you've missed the first step of filling in your own Self with these emotions. I have a wide variety of things i like to do on a date anything that is fun and in a public area. dinners always good you can really get to know someone face to face for a good hr or so and then decide if there is something there to go on. So just ask and we'll see what sounds like fun to both of us.

    Life is not perfect. I for one am thankful for that. Perfect is boring. I want imperfect with a little spice. I don't want a knight in shining armor to carry me away in the sunset. my point is that I'm not looking for mister "perfect". I'm just looking for mister "right". someone who has a great sense of humor, and doesn't get upset if the joke is on him. He also has to be able to admit when he is wrong. I am a little shy at first and am awkward at starting a conversation. once you get to know me you will find I am open and honest. I am not fake and do not tolerate fake and dishonest people. I have my problems in life just as I'm sure you do. Please don't hold that against me because I wouldn't hold it against you. I am looking for someone to spend the rest of my life with eventually. Not right away I don't want to go too fast.That only leads to broken hearts. Neither one of us need that. I would like to date, and find my Mr. right though. Maybe I will find him on this site.P.S. I am in the process of quitting smoking. I can't wait to be done with it. Wherever we decide to go.
