"Live your Passion!"
**********************************************

After almost a year of having a book-like ad, I thought I would try and keep it as simple as possible and provide you with the important facts. Besides, there's lots to know about me, why not save it for our date(s)? :)Let's face the facts here guys, I am the most straight forward, honest, down to earth woman you may find on here. I will tell you like it is & won't sugar coast things. We only have this one life, and I would rather enjoy it with someone who wants to get to know me inside & out, for who I am and all I have to offer, not based on my looks. Yes I am a confident big beautiful woman, I do love to swim & dance, I enjoy my life without drinking and drugs, I am unlike others. And I am pursuing my passions in life and accomplishing some big things! I just want to meet a man who wants to know all about me, who I can get to know as well - laugh with, enjoy time with, maybe date, and fall in love with. I don't expect things to be rushed into, I don't have sex on the first date - in fact I am celibate. If this doesn't scare you off, let's chat! :)

More About Me:
- I live my life every day as it comes, I try to keep a positive attitude and probably laugh more than most people. Did you know that the average adult laughs 15 times a day, and the average child laughs 365 times a day? Hmmmm, better start laughing - maybe we will be a little happier in life.
- One of the most important things I've learned in life is to enjoy the things you do in life. It's the passions in life that should drive you. Do the things that you love! Like I said above - Live your passion!
- I am intelligent and enjoy great conversation. I hate it when people can't spell, or don't care about proper grammar. Lol.
- I am very creative & artistic - I enjoy making jewelry, working with clay, sewing, drawing and more! I am even musically inclined and love to sing - especially karaoke! I have my own jewelry & art business online, which is very exciting!
- My life in short is simple. I enjoy the simple things in life, just like the next person.
~ I love to laugh and do it often, sometimes even at myself.
~ I live a very positive life and do my share of volunteer work, including cancer advocacy & public speaking. I even own and run a cancer non-profit! Yes I am a cancer survivor extraordinaire!!
- I enjoy writing and have completed a book about my cancer experience, which I hope to publish within the next year or two.
~ I am a goofball and a kid at heart. Therefore I can admit that at times I can be a video game/game junkie. (PS2 games, my Super Nintendo, board games like the Game of Life, Monopoly and group games like Apples to Apples.) I enjoy these types of games, not games in relationships.
- I love to dance, especially in my car, while in traffic, in Starbucks with friends, etc. You get the gist. I love life!
- I enjoy time with family & friends.
~ I love traveling and cooking, spending time with friends and would love a great man to spend time with.
- I have passion and drive in my life and work very hard for the things that are most important to me. most would say I am strong willed!

**I am not looking to rush into anything, I am looking for friends first, possibly dating, and maybe something more!

If we get the chance to talk on the phone, you'll notice that I am the same in person as I am in person. I'm not fake in any way at all!!

The Qualities that I look for in a man are: Confidence, outgoing personality, compassion, strong willed, Musically/artistically inclined or at least creative in some way, most of all, someone real! Hopefully you have a job that you enjoy (because I enjoy mine), a car (because at the moment I am trying to get one), and a place to live - hopefully you are stable in your life. I hope you enjoy cuddling, PDA, that you're not afraid to cry - because if you did, that doesn't make you any less of a man - no worried, and you are proud to be who you are!

Some of the things I'd love to do in my lifetime include:
*Skydiving (Let's start with indoor, then tandem) - even though I am terrified of heights
*Zip-line! Perhaps through the forest in Jamaica?
*Travel the world - visit Australia, France, England, and maybe even Sweden. This includes the US, cause I want to drive cross country a few times and check out some really cool old towns.
*Publish at least one book I have written, whether it be my life story or a children's book.
*Become a lot like Lance Armstrong, when it comes to helping Cancer Survivors beat Cancer. This includes a lot of public speaking and cancer advocacy :)
*Buy my own house.
*Adopt some great kids :) (Since I can't have my own.. long story)
*Go on a dream vacation with my mom.
*Ride a Sea-do, maybe do some water sports.
*Go on at least one cruise in my life

And I'm sure there are lots more. So I will add them when I decide....

First dates? There's no way to describe a perfect date. Just play it by ear and see how it goes. Someone who would be the best match for me is someone who no matter what we are doing together, they know how to turn any situation into an awesome one! Someone that I can talk to - so probably a first date involving a ton of talking and getting to know one another. We can go anywhere, just as long as I get the opportunity to get to know you a little better!

I enjoy: the simple things in life - going to the park, enjoy kid stuff, enjoying the ocean, travelling, etc. Music, art, movies, dancing, karaoke, writing, drawing, making jewelry and ceramics and so much more. I don't drink or smoke - that's even better, because I don't do any of that stuff.
