MY IM DOES NOT WORK ;-( SO JUST EMAIL ME ;-)

Let me start by saying that I don't expect perfection nor do I pretend to be perfect. All I can do is to strive to be, do, and give my best. I will expect the same in return.

I am known to be an intelligent, easy going, affectionate, and considerate woman - not to be confused with a push over. Nature and the outdoors breath life into me and helps to keep me centered and balanced.

I find something to be thankful for every day and I also take time to smile and say or do something positive daily. I believe in Karma and seek to maintain A HEALTHY balance in my life, laugh often, and love deeply.

The top three qualities in man that turn me on are 1) A great sense of HUMOR 2) CONFIDENCE 3)COMPASSION/CONSIDERATION The top three qualities that are turn offs are 1)LYING 2)IRRESPONSIBILITY 3)ARROGANCE/RUDENESS

I take great care of myself but by no means a narcissistic woman. That means that I eat nutritious yummy food and exercise regularly. I do although indulge every now and then.

I practice a healthy life style because I want to live a very long, healthy, joyous, and active life. I enjoy exploring new hiking trails and outdoor events that feature learning something new about other cultures especially if food and music are involved. I also enjoy listening to live music (jazz for the most part but appreciate a wide range of genres) and the theater to see live performances. I'm a great cook yet appreciate a nice dinner out on the town every now and then.

Ciao and hope to hear from you soon

In general something simple and relaxed for the first meeting that to me is not the same as a first date. If after an exchange of a couple of emails there seems to be a SINCERE interest then I would prefer to talk and then meet. After all there is no way you can tell if the elusive chemistry is there until you see each other in person and look into each others eyes
