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 enjoy the great outdoors including hiking,biking,golf,attending Gopher Football and Twins games. I work out ***days a week. I enjoy cooking, learning about wine, dining out in ethnic restarants, traveling (both locally and to warm destinations) and laughing as often as possible. I do not have any chilldren...but I do love them all! I would enjoy meeting someone over coffee or drinks first, seeing if there is any compatibility and going from there! Wherever that might lead.

Deal breaker for me is alcohol, even social, sorry but my life is lived on being alcohol and drug free. I don't do sex texting, first sign you lose contact with me. I love being a grandma (aka: momo). I think people who know me would say I have a big heart and that I have a great sence of humor. I don't allow drama and stress in my life. I live and let live (well I try real hard anyway) try to live in today yet have a goal for tomorrow. My family is very impotant to me and I to them. Favorite tv is hgtv which I am not one to watch tv for more than an hour a day and somedays not at all. Maybe coffee in a public area and chit chat, fall is coming on and I love the colors so maybe meet at a park. No drinks of alcohol.
