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.

    Hey there,I haven't quite made up my mind about how I feel about internet dating... but I figure that it never hurts to put yourself out there. I don't want to meet someone in a bar and work takes up a lot of my time, (but I'd make time for the right person!)I've never settled in life because I want the best of everything, (no, I don't mean perfection) and I know he's out there. I hope to meet a man of integrity, who's honest and kind and treats people with respect. Someone I can talk and laugh with for hours, (I love a good belly laugh!) or be just as comfortable with saying nothing at all. I don't care about your income, your job (unless you love it!), your bike, boat, etc... I care about chemistry, honesty and integrity. We all slip sometimes, but you can go pretty far with those things *** I think considering this is online dating, meeting for coffee is the best way to start. ... either that or sumo wrestling

    Ok about me.. well its obvious that im not a size 5. But I am beautiful and have a awesome personality and I do know how to take care of a man. Yes I know how to cook and do so often. I can dress up and go out on a hot date or get down and dirty and play in the mud. I do like to go out but its nice to stay home and cuddle. The best time is during a rain storm. Ive recently just got back into camping and fishing of course but it had been a very long time. Honesty above all else is important to me. But everyone says that on these things right?I believe people need their space. I for one know that i do. I love to read and just be outdoors. Camping and sitting by the fire is awesome. Along w/ snowmobiling and 4wheeling. We only live once right? Yes I do have kids. 2 are almost all grown and will be headed off to college soon. I am interested in trying new things. Learning to shoot a bow is one of them. I love the mountains. Im a open book. So if u have any questios. Please let me knw. something easy. 1st dates are hard enough without trying to worry about what to do. go with the flow...
