About Me

My heart is on the trail between jagged, snow-capped peaks and rushing waters. Call me a determined optimist. I believe passionately in leaving a better world. I am spirited, smart, inquisitive, happily feminine, fit, passionate, and active. I’;Be joyful despite the facts." Among the identities I’ve worn and enjoyed are journalist, Congressional policy aide, and teacher. Being "mom" has been my most cherished role, and though that work is largely done, the pleasure of independent adult sons remains.For me, one kind of perfect day is a hike during the river roar of snowmelt just as tender lilies shoot up through the last glints of winter. I carry paper scraps and scribble notes for stories and poems. Then they go through the wash forgotten in my pockets but somehow, I remember key words. And pictures are indeed worth a thousand, so I *** clouds above tree line and between ridges. Share with me what brings awe to your life. I seek a co-conspirator for adventures, romance, comedy and laughter, delight, and trying on ideas. We all have tall wish lists. A few on mine: I want you to be smart, passionate, emotionally available, adventurous, kind, interested in personal growth, physically fit, and able to see the humor in life. Ideally, we are both lifelong learners. But not perfect ;-)I'm really looking for a best friend with whom I share playful, intellectual, physical and emotional chemistry. In my thinking, best friends do things together--apart, and sometimes separate things side by side. Though I can and do wear velvet gowns and enjoy a dressy night out--see photos, I'm most comfy in denim. I’m a passionate explorer and am hoping to meet someone with passions and experiences both similar and different than mine. There are many places and things I’ve yet to experience. For example, I'd enjoy learning to snowboard or ski. I am comforted standing next to glaciers that make me feel small. If you lose me on the trail, chances are I’ve found the perfect womb in an ancient tree to nest in.If you have a kayak or canoe, bonus points. If you can reteach me to flyfish or might learn with me, more bonus points. I adore being read to. Semi-sweet chocolate or a hand-picked bouquet will delight me. I love the city, too--plays, music, comedy, fine dining, etc. Yet if I had to choose between mountains and skyscrapers, I'd stop in the city on the way to or from the peaks. I can live in either the wilds or the city, and like to be reasonably close to both. Travel is a must here and there--that's part of the experience v. stuff.Being playful brings balance as I make my living with my head. Of course, all the usual apply. I cry at movies where the dog grows old and dies. You’ll find me enjoying all varieties of film, and I’m not above renting children’s movies that make me laugh. History fascinates me. I can root for the Seahawks win or lose. Good thing, huh?I’m very much a grown-up and still like stuffed animals that squeak. Though I'd love it if you lived next door already, I cannot be flexible on those four "chemistry" qualities, so I'm open to a wee bit of distance, as my work and life have some flexibility.--depends on cards in the next hand.I wish you the best. Let's chat about favorite people and journeys, walk and talk, and be ready for the possibility of magic. At the same time, I'm always open to new friendships--so "no pressure" on a first date is important.

    Woman. 55 years old. Zodiac sign: Aquarius.

    Looking for: man. In age: 52-62

    Last year I retired with 32 years from Verizon and felt like I was being released from prison! I'm now back into real estate which has always been a passion for me and the economy has been coming back. I studied fine art and when it comes to open mike nite, I've been told I'm more of a words person than guitar player or singer.....( I knew that!) I've had alot of life changes in the last year or so but am excited with life and all its possibilities. I love to dress up and dine out. I love travel. I love animals and I love the South and everything Southern. I am a good hearted spiritual woman, a bit of a joker and just a tad bit crazy( or so they say!)...lol....... I'm a true beach bum and may be planning to buy and build somewhere along the coast in the Carolinas -- I'm looking for someone with looks and a personality who likes to laugh with a positive outlook - Someone who has worked hard to get themselves where they are today, who has goals and dreams and plans for the future who like me is now looking to enjoy the finer things life has to offer. I run a real busy schedule but would like to meet someone I get along with whose company I enjoy...Ciao, talk soon, Jeanette Coffee or a drink somewhere interesting...........

    Woman. 54 years old. Zodiac sign: Pisces.

    Looking for: man. In age: 51-61

    I am energetic, confident, easy-going, and light hearted. I enjoy the simple things in life; but also, have a deep appreciate for the finer things life can offer. I feel like I am at a wonderful place in my life. And I am looking for a friend, companion, and a partner to explore this next phase in our lives together. Some of my favorite things are enjoying the beauty of the ocean while strolling on the beach, most outdoor activities, being socially active, traveling, reading and learning. But my very favorite is just cuddling and hanging out with that special someone! Oh, yes, I truly love being grandmother! I get to enjoy them, then give them back to their mother- love it! Also family and friends are very special to me. I am looking for a man who values himself, family, life, and others. Could it be you? A cup of coffee in a quite place, and if there is chemistry, I have no doubt we will take it from there.

    Woman. 55 years old. Zodiac sign: Capricorn.

    Looking for: man. In age: 52-62

    I love to write but right now I am at a lost; but here goes. I like to walk along lake fronts and swim in their waters. My favorite time of the year is Spring because its the beginning of something all green. My favorite band will give me away of who I really am and that band is Casting Crowns. My favorite song is "You are God Alone" because God is not dependent on us, He is so powerful but through my hardships He is there. So cool! Do not watch much TV but I like to read and write; and I like spending time with friends. But, what I am most passionate about is my relationship with Jesus Christ. I am an author on a website and I blog for Christ. So, I am not looking for my other half because I already have that with Jesus Christ. But I am looking for a man who can be a spiritual leader in his own home. A man who is sold out for Jesus Christ and has a relationship with him.If, this is you drop me a line.
