Authentic....is one of my favorite words....and that...I am. WICKED sense of humor and wit. Born in Maine (Heaven); now in "exile" --Maine IS the sanctuary of the soul. I still blush, believe in love at first sight, and that chemistry and magic are anything. Born romantic. Born optimist, sensitive, playful, artistic by nature (ballet, singer, writer)..joie de vivre...I like "different" people; intellectual types intrigue me. Unique, elegant, adventurous, impeccable manners, refined, honest, sociable, outrageous, honorable, sassy, independent, free-spirit, authentic, courageous, honorable, integrity (duty, honor, country). I LOVE to smile, and make others do the same. Stubborn, opioninated (woops, how did THAT get in there?! Have some great army stories. Two of my favorite sayings: "I am more impressed by what someone has overcome, that by what they have accomplished." Be ashamed to die, until you have done something for humanity." Once I thought I made a mistake, but I was wrong! So, enough about ME, what do YOU think about ME?! Grins and smiles, Ally P.S. I am also....a fantastic cook (and quite humble) :)

Regarding my artistic side: I have a poetry website, and have heard from Elie Wiesel (survivor of Auschwitz); and am so humbled and honored by that.

Published in a psychiatric journal (I tell my friends, "no, it ISN'T a case study, LOL!")

Written my memoir: Ghost Child to Triumph (from a child with no voice, to someone who speaks up against injustice); have a publisher interested.

I believe we are all here to make a difference; I do this by counseling the abused.

P.S. I am also a veteran/fascinating army stories!

I would like to have a lovely dinner at my favorite restaurant (the one with ambience)....To see if there is chemistry and/or magic.

I will sense a connection (or none) in seconds.
