About Me

I subscribe to a "Think deeply, speak gently, love much, laugh a lot, word hard, give freely and be kind" way of living, where integrity, honesty, trust, laughter and kindness frame my picture of love, life, levity, and everything that is boldly colored in between. I believe that "coloring outside the lines" promotes greater self-discovery and risk, both of which are extremely important and yes, attractive, sexy and desirable, to me as a writer, educator and most importantly, a parent. When we restrict ourselves to a neatly designed and prescribed, flawless template of how we're supposed to look and behave, we inevitably are not being our authentic selves. For me, to embark on a relationship not being who we are is inevitably destined to fail because in the end, it's based on pretense and falsehood***not the ideal foundation for a loving, lasting relationship.My mission as a special educator is to individualize *** broken and bitter high school kids who have been through serious and often, life threatening traumas in their lives, where school took a back burner to just making it through the day. Our mission as loving and caring educators is to restore their faith in "man/womankind," and convince them how much they matter~~ despite their belief to the contrary~~ to themselves, and the people in their lives who love them.When I'm not trying to make the lives of these kids better, I love to hike, power walk, play with my dogs for hours, blog, read, and sip ridiculously good coffee with ridiculously awesome people. I find intellect extremely attractive .I also believe that you can tell whether a relationship is going to work with one kiss. So much can be said in that one kiss..... I have no set script for a first date other than it happens after some thoughtful, meaningful, and yes, flirtatious conversations, via phone, text, etc., that creates a very welcome flurry of butterflies in my stomach that lets me know that we won't be checking our watches every four minutes once we take the plunge and meet. Outdoor cafes; out-of-the-way coffee shops that at least 'offers' Fair Trade coffee with their other selections; independent book stores; beautiful parks conducive for walking and talking; and if all of that feels right, an "evening" date at a candle-lit pub or wine bar that offers tasty crudites and atmosphere.

    I'm petite and thin with long dark hair and told a great smile.Honest, loyal, caring ( almost too much), compassionate, listener, affectionate and loving. I do not toy with people as I take my interactions with others very serious. I am sensitive to others.I'm also a fan of music. Lyrics are poems set to a sound that can be made into beautiful music. I am not a fan of liars or say one thing and act and say another. To coin a phrase, "actions speak louder than words". Someone who actually knows what he wants and knows how to keep his word and go for it. In other words, not into meeting players. ( a real man, but can be a kid too at times) Someone who is a real romantic. (chivalry is very important to me and being a true gentleman) A great heart and soul is the key. Beautiful on the inside, as well as the handsome on the outside. If you are spritual, it is a plus. A sense of humor a must. ( Laughing until one's abs hurt) I can and want to laugh with someone. ( I have been known to be able to laugh at myself too) I have learned from the past. I trust my *** however, they are not 100%..."Just another lesson learned"I have the most amazing sons. My eldest is a Lawyer, and youngest is in his senior year of school. (When I grow up, LOL...I want to be like them!!!!)If you do not have recent photo's please don't contact me. If you are a nutcase, Stay away. but most don't really know they are crazy. "Sad but true" ...to coin Metallica.( I admit it is sometimes laughable) That said....I want a real relationship. So, if you are emotionally available, affectionate, loyal, honest, caring, loving, bright,with morals, and respect....I am the gal for you. I look forward to hearing from you. The connection and chemistry....Basically you just know. The venue is not as important. We are. :)

    Well, so here I go, first time trying on-line dating. This takes some courage I see. But I'm currently missing out on some of my favorite things: cooking dinner for someone I adore, cuddling on the couch with candles lit watching a movie, planning a trip with someone special, buying that perfect gift just as a nice surprise . . . maybe that's where you come in. About me, I have never had children, and am the "cool aunt" who hangs out plenty with her nieces and nephews. I have a wonderful family and great group of friends, both of which are very important to me. I also have a five-pound yorkie, Louie, who ranks right up there with family. Well, except when he misses the potty pad... ;-) I have an excellent, interesting job. I am kind, caring, warm and affectionate, love to laugh, an optimist, outgoing and social, easy to get along with and not a game player. I am enthusiastic about most everything. I am as dependable as a DeWalt drill or set of Craftsman tools (ha, my brother helped me out with that line.) I am a romantic, and love watching sunsets, cooking dinner together, sitting in front of the fireplace with a nice bottle of wine open, hand holding, receiving unexpected flowers, oh, and really really love when a man surprises me in my driveway with a shovel or huge snow blower after a big snow fall.... ;-) I'm as comfortable in tight jeans, as yoga pants, as formal attire, and enjoy wearing each. I love trying new things, and I don't always color inside the lines...And you? I'm looking for a man who is honest, genuine and trustworthy. I like a man who is confident, fun, honest, attractive, active, and outgoing. I like a man who has a passionate interest in life, knows himself, can express his feelings, and has a strong work ethic. A romantic is really a plus. Ultimately, I would love to meet someone who enjoys similar activities, is happy, and in the same good place in life. I'm looking for a long-term relationship with someone to share my life with, and ideally grow old with, spending winters walking the ocean beaches holding hands. Well, there you have it, it's just that simple. :-) Some of my favorite local spots... Enjoy! Would you like to meet for a glass of wine?

    I consider myself young at heart. I try to live a healthy lifestyle... this does not mean I am a fanatic by any means. I like to run for exercise but also do spinning classes. I try to eat healthy as well. I enjoy 80's music but will listen to just about anything except rap. I like going out dancing, movies, live entertainment, quiet evenings at home, coffee & reading the paper, a good glass of wine, campfires, anything near the water, beaches, traveling, exploring new areas, fine dining, a drive in the country with no real destination, a walk after dinner, etc.;I have 3 daughters but only one still lives at home & she's in high school. I would like to meet a well educated, professional man-emotionally & financially secure. My faith is important to me so I would like to meet someone on the same page about Christianity. Since I am on the tail end of raising children I would prefer someone who's children are already grown or in the same stage of life as I am.
