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.

    Worked in education for over the past decade, and walked away. Literally. Loved it for years, and then quit loving it too. I miss my students, but other then that I feel free to make choices in my life for the first time in a long time. Prior to education (K- Anyone unaware what that is, it is mining stocks that go out at pennies a share, shoot up to bucks, then you cash out! Good sh*tif you know what your doing.-we sent out all over the states, and Europe too! I probably met you back then! So my history is in mining stocks and education.... The FrayMaroon 5Music is food for the soul, I cannot imagine being without it... All of my relatives are back there, and I have a home back there and think about making the transition sometimes after 25 years in the northwest. My Great Grandfather helped start the town, and it would be good to get back to my heritage.-I grew up moving all over the United States and Europe, and was the only American girl in an all German school for 2 years, it was an experience! Sprechen sie Deutsche? My passion lies in art, music, writing, drawing, and photography. However, then again, I tend to attract to the opposite of myself, so you could be an inartistic scuba diver, and I would be smitten! I love and find essential a wicked sense of humor, I do not do boring well whatsoever!!.I would not say on here I am looking for love, a relationship, my next future ex, or the love of my life. But you know what-- stranger things have happened to us all. Everything happens for a reason, and if I made an awesome new friend, wonderful..if I met the guy I would be with the rest of this lifetime, wonderful. There is no way of knowing,.. it is all just what it is until it happens."I'm pretty, but Im not beautifulI sin but Im not the devilIm good but Im not an angel". . .;All a girl really wants is for one guy to prove to her that they are all not the same" -"Update": I have learned from friends that have been successful with online dating, that to write for awhile is a good thing. It is nice to establish a connection over some time online and then meet. By just looking at a picture, and wanting to meet that person, I do not see the difference between that and walking into a club, and being hit on. I am wanting something real, and for me running out to meet a guy right off the bat based on mutual lust is not the type of connection I want. There is alot of power in the written word, and the right man will know what I am talking about. I also will never give my cell phone number out until we know each other well, and have finally met. Past experiences have made me wiser! Please vote here: *** Gotta do this for the kid! Your. Ex's. House ! A remote rest-stop.lmao!Seriously, anywhere lovely to meet and greet~where your favorite refreshment is being served! I dunno about the going for a walk together thing, cuz knowing me I will trip and fall on my a***!! But if u have to do that, ok, ok!!.I think first meets are to see if the same feeling is there, that you may have gotten from writing, texting, talking. From there, I think you would just know ***and either way great to meet you!!If you don't look like your pictures~ you have to buy the drinks until you do! ; )

    I am fun loving, serious, loyal. Bilingual. I work hard but keep time to play and enjoy life. I like to travel and discover. I like outdoors and cultural activities. I like having friends over for dinner. I like having good conversations about a lot of subjects. Religion does not do anything for me and I prefer spirituality and humanism. Would like to meet new people to share fun activities and good conversations and we'll take it from there. I think a relationship starts with attraction and a good connection. An interesting man would be outgoing, honest, physically active, open minded. Sorry, I do not answer messages from profiles without a photo. I have no preconceptions. I am open to a lot of things but it involves talking and sharing ideas, fun and getting to know one another.
