About Me

"We did not change as we became older...we just became more clearly ourselves".;Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength." Betty Friedan ***" We have a smile that cant be shaken." Sherry Bezanson"The whole secret to existence is to have no fear."~ BuddhaA few of the lessons life has taught me so far: you've got to roll with it, baby :***the punches)... Aspire to become fearless, not reckless, but fearless. Find wonder (little miracles are all around us) and humour in the everyday, and treat yourself well.What would I envision the man for me would be like, my one and only?Looking for an enlightened guy...he has learned many lessons but knows there are an infinite number yet to learn. He smiles easily because, like me, he gets it. (When you get it...life becomes easier...because you know everything is ment to be..and you exhale.)He knows life is made up of moments, and he treasures the little things. He is practical and likes to fix and or create(even if only with words...or music.) He considers himself even tempered and his emotional baggage is stored appropriately. He knows his own personal power..he has 'grown up', and he doesnt need to come on heavy. Hes all about exploring life but loves his down time and doesnt have a problem with just chilling, reading or chatting sometimes. Hes an optimist..a positive person; he loves to laugh, even at himself at times, but can be serious too when he ponders about why things are they way they are and he figures there could just be more to THIS life then what we can see. He uses his brain as much as his hands...an intelligent man is a turn-on! :-) He has an affinity with animals and he has had children, as I think having the responsibility and challenges of raising kids, especially on ones own, takes a person to a different level. He has lived enough that he knows who he is...what he stands for(so he wouldnt fall for just anything)...and he would call himself sincere. He, like me, knows good communication is vital to the success of any relationship, and conversely, lack there of, leads to its demise. Communication is HUGE for me.The trials and tribulations in his past have made him the man that he is today, as we are all the accumulative sum of all our past experiences. A complex past that he has grown from and moved forward from is ideal. After all, 'adversity is the stepping stone to greatness!'He is independent yet wants a true partner, a monogamous relationship, someone with which to multiply the joys and divide the sorrows.Me?I am a single mum born of European parents, with a full time long term technical career; my one son is 19 and is maturing into manhood by the day, but still likes to check in with Mom about the important stuff. I am goofy and fun, but I am wise, the kind of wise that comes with embracing all of my past challenges; I see many facets to one thing or one concept. I like to stay active in both body (walking the dog, time at the gym, swimming..gotta back to yoga) and mind. I LOVE to read ..nose in book frequently!! (My departed Mother read until the day she died..and was as smart as a whip!) At least one book a month.. more if they are page turners, & research anything that is of interest to me. I love the Arts but also Science. I would like to learn something every day for the rest of my life. I see the BIGGER picture..and am fully aware that I am a spirit living a physical existence to learn what I need to in this lifetime. I believe in being optimistic despite any circumstance; seeing the glass as half full or look for the 'silver lining'. Being out in nature, or being surrounded by animals(even party animals on occassion :***are passions of mine. I love to cook and have the ability to combine diverse flavours quite easily. Creative leftovers rock! Spicy ethnic food..make it or take out are both good!I love my red wine; I think its about how a wine tastes not what it costs that is where its at...chilling on a sunny patio. I love my libations, but I know when to say when. :-) If the mood isnt right or if Im doing a body cleanse...weeks can pass with no 'bevie'.MUST HAVE MUSIC :-)...everything from the 80's, jazz, big blues fan, classic rock, reggae, soul, adult alternative***.3 rocks!)and classical CBC R2 while concentrating or on sunday mornings with paper and coffee. And sometimes all I want to hear is the wind through the trees..and the birds chirping. Would love to compare notes...over a bite or a cuppa. Friends first, as that is the most natural way to proceed. No smokers pLEEease!!! What you put into your body is what you get out of it. I think about what I eat (99%wheat free diet) but I think its good to break those rules sometimes. Chocolate comes to mind. :-)CANUCKS! fan, planted firmly ON the wagon at all times. I am a forthright child at heart..and wouldnt make it through my life without my sense of haha. We all should be able to see the humour in life.****Im down-to-earth, real, no nonsense and here for a reason. I am NOT looking for a quick hook up...sincerity only please.**If you made it this far, thank you! for taking the time and having the interest. Good luck in your quest! Lets see where this adventure takes us, shall we? "The mind has a thousand eyes; the heart has but one". ~Zen"Your life is not your master...it is your child."~ Emmanuel“Try to become not a man of success, but try rather to become a man of value.”—---..however the moment inspires us.:-)

    I love being fit, healthy and active. But, I am very intelligent too and love smart men who also take care of their bodies.I am comfortable in a crowd or hanging out reading a book or watching a movie. Intimacy is very important to me and I strive to be a supportive friend as well as a great lover. Physical chemistry is a must for me as I am a very passionate person and love to display my feelings physically. But, I must also be attracted to your mind and intellect.My goal is to continue teaching and staying in great shape. I love coaching people to strive to be the best they can be with their health and wellness goals. If you don't have your health, you have nothing!!I love animals and have rescued several over the years. I feel you can tell a lot about a person by how they interact with and treat animals. I enjoy all types of music and my mood often determines what I listen to.I'm looking for a man who has great confidence and self esteem, but not an inflated ego. I love to laugh, so if you can make me laugh a lot, you definitely score extra points. I enjoy all types of food, the more flavor the better; especially Thai, Indian, Mexican and most seafood. Going to see a movie is one of my favorite things since it allows us to decompress from our stressful daily lives. My idea of a first date is to meet for coffee or drinks and spend some time talking and getting to know one another. To me, the first date is about finding common interests and deciding if there is physical chemistry. I'm open to anything, even something adventurous as long as we have an opportunity to get to know one another.
