I am a caring, compionate person who sees the good in other people and is sensitive to their needs. Honesty is very important to me. My world makes no sense without it, humor is different. ; ) I believe the best in people until they prove me wrong. I am a very pionate and sensual woman. I have been told that I have an amazing sense of humor and a beautiful smile. I would call myself very curvaceous with a little extra weight. That is something I am always working on. : ) But, then most women are. Words other people have used to describe me: tenacious, vivacious, intuitive, voluminous, creative, loyal, tender, pure, deep, pionate, and exotic (I don't know where that one came from : ). Most people consider me to be a very intelligent person. I am very open-minded. I can often see both sides in a discussion. I am a mother of three grown, amazing, individuals. Raising them was the best part of my life. The world is full of so many exciting things to learn about and explore. There is so much I want to see and do, so many places I want to go, so much I want to taste and touch and feel. I enjoy learning new things whether it is a new software application, a building project, or cooking a new recipe. I am a pionate reader. I love to surf the net and see what new subject I can find to explore. I never want to stop learning. I love hanging out with friends and having deep, stimulating conversations. I like road trips whether it is for a week or a day. I love hiking, watching movies, reading books, designing graphics and websites, putting together presentations, landscaping, shopping, photography, playing cards, painting, woodworking, mosaics, cooking, and so much more. I get very excited about new projects and ideas and always seem to have several things going at once. Someday I might write a book, or get my Masters degree, or start my own business. The world is full of possibilities. I love nature. This is where I go to find peace and serenity. The simple beauty of the wind blowing through the leaves… the night sky full of twinkling stars and scurrying clouds… the way a sunflower follows the path of the sun… the way the moon glistens off of a patch of frozen ice…a herd of deer walking through the falling snow… the sound of water as it tumbles over rocks…the path of a falling star…the sun as it shines through the falling rain…lightening as it races across the sky…the sound of falling snow… To me this is beauty. This is where I go to pull my strength. I am looking for my soul mate, my friend, and my lover. I am looking for pion and chemistry. I want the kind of pion you feel in your soul… where when your eyes meet across a crowed room you communicate on a level that no one else can touch… that person who when we kiss I melt into a puddle of mush… where no one person or one situation in life will come between you because you will work together … and the combination of our love will be an unstoppable force… I am looking for someone with integrity and strength of character. To me who you are on the inside is so much more important than who you are on the outside. I would love to find someone who loves to laugh and have fun in life, but who can also take things seriously when needed. If you know how to dance I would love to learn. Simple things are sometimes the best... candlelight... flowers...walking in the rain... chocolate...clic rock...shopping...a good book...a child's laughter... strong arms... kissing... touching...spooning(I get to be the little spoon!)...walking hand in hand...laying under the stars sharing thoughts and feelings...cuddling (can I lay my head on your chest and wrap my arms around you?)... cuddling (can I sit between your legs and lean my head against your chest while we watch a movie?)...did I say cuddling? (can I sit in the crock of your arm... snuggled tight and warm?)... All my pictures have been taken within the last two year. The ones with my hair long are the most recent. For those who are interested I am an INFJ. I would love to hear from you. Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens. Not by what life brings to us, but by what atude we bring to life. A positive reaction causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results. ---Anonymous One of my favorite song lyrics Perhaps Love... by John Denver Perhaps love is like a resting place, a shelter from the storm It exists to give you comfort, it is there to keep you warm And in those times of trouble when you are most alone The memory of love will bring you home Perhaps love is like a window, perhaps an open door It invites you to come closer, it wants to show you more And even if you lose yourself and don't know what to do The memory of love will see you through Love to some is like a cloud, to some as strong as steel For some a way of living, for some a way to feel And some say love is holding on and some say letting go And some say love is everything, and some say they don't know Perhaps love is like the ocean, full of conflict, full of pain Like a fire when it's cold outside, thunder when it rains If I should live forever, and all my dreams come true My memories of love will be of you Some say love is holding on and some say letting go Some say love is everything and some say they don't know Perhaps love is like the mountains, full of conflict, full of change Like a fire when it's cold outside, thunder when it rains If I should live forever, and all my dreams come true My memories of love will be of you
