About Me

"wabi-sabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature, of accepting the natural cycle of growth, decay, and death. . . it reveres authenticity above all" - tadao andoBeing a wabi-sabi woman in our American culture can be a challenge. My mother has always told me, "It's not so much that people change, but that they become more truly who they really are." The experience of authenticity, for me, is much more a process of uncovering, that discovering. Lofty words, right? But what does it really mean? My path is the process of figuring that out.I love to read. I love to follow my curiosity down twisting paths of research. I love to combine science, nature, literature and daily experiences into syncretic creations that I can share with clients and congregations. I love to public speak. I love to laugh and have a truly obnoxious appreciation of puns. I love my parents and enjoy long conversations with them both, on a weekly basis. I LOVE my kid! She is the most amazing person I have ever met and has taught me more about how to practice authenticity, in the past 8 years, than I could have imagined possible. I love being a mother and all the opportunities to become a better person that if presents. I love the intense aliveness that I experience when I am intimately connecting with people. I love to listen to people's stories about what is real for them, what makes them come alive, regardless of what that is. Enthusiasm is a huge turn on for me. I have been losing my hearing since I was 5 years old and am now almost completely deaf. I have phenomenal speech-reading skills, and most people would never know how hearing impaired I am. My hearing loss leads to some of my most contradicting realities. I love music, but can't understand lyrics. This may be why most of my favorite music is either world or ***, although I am an avid fan of classic rock. Oh, and the blues - that's a wabi-sabi thing, for sure. I love to listen to people, but often I hear more of what is not being said and that can offend some people. A lot of people hide behind their words, not realizing how much their body language is giving away. Because of the energy it takes, I am not a fan of small talk. I'd rather sit in silence with someone than exchange banalities. I value face-to-face communication above all else, but have a kid-on-Christmas-morning love for technology, too. Texting and FaceTime rock! Good God, I have no idea how to answer this. So much would depend on you! I love to learn and experience new things, and since enthusiasm is such a turn on for me, I can imagine that sharing something you wildly enjoy would work. I can imagine that meeting for coffee or frozen yogurt, over a game of Scrabble or Clue, could be fun. I love taking long drives and motorcycle rides. I really enjoy DIY projects and power tools. I enjoy boating and being on or near the water. I love hiking and discovering new places. I also enjoy cooking (and eating), as well as watching others cook.

    Looking for: man. In age: 33-43

    I'm a single mom that stays busy with my own life as well as in my child's, im an adventurous spirit, looking for someone to share the few things in life that bring joy. I have many interests but like to learn these about each other over time. I am trust-worthy, hard working, constantly trying to improve at everything in my life, including finding the right one for me. The mood sets what I like on a first date, its nice to do something that allows a lot of interaction. No movie date in the beginning!

    I'm laid back and easy going it takes a lot to put me in a bad mood. I get along with everyone and usually I'm happy and have a smile on my face. I have two children who are 17 and 15 both boys. I enjoy travelling and there are still tons of places I want to visit. I'm pretty much an open book so if you want to know anything just ask.

    Woman. 36 years old. Zodiac sign: Capricorn.

    Looking for: man. In age: 33-43

    Driven and witty, love the simple pleasures in life. Love to learn and enjoy the company of friends and family. Always willing to try new venues, activities and travel to new places. Love to take photos. Kind-hearted and good-natured, I don't take myself too seriously and love to joke around.Having a positive outlook on life is very important to me. Life is definitely too short. It's important to appreciate those special moments in life that make you grow even when they are not so perfect... adds a little dirty in an otherwise pristine martini. I go with the flow and enjoy trying out new places and things to do, so it's hard for me to have a bad time. Looking for someone who is self-confident, down to earth and passionate. You'll always be successful if you are passionate about what you do. A great sense of humour is a must. That being said, a solid foundation also starts with friendship and mutual respect. Cheers.
