I am a single parent and a grandmother.I have a very close relationship with my family and with God. Not saying that I am a saint. But I do pray daily in the morning and evenings.I work with Developmentally Disabled adults. I have been working with this population for 19 yrs now. I love my job, not very many people can say that.I enjoy walks on the beach, cooking, spending time with my family, Long drives along the ocean, weekend getaways with that special someone,festivals, BBQ's and shooting pool (for fun)..I am looking for a man that knows how to keep it real. A man that is understanding, honest, caring, hard working and sensitive at times. That knows how to appreciate a good woman. That understands that a relationship is like a job. You have to put the work into a relationship to make things work. Communication is very important to me.That's where the work comes in.I need a man with some backbone. I am a strong woman and I need a strong man on my team.*winkin* I have low tolerance for bullshyt and or lies.I am a good person with a big heart. I don't believe in lying or cheating. That is not necessary.I am French & Black. I was born in France and raised in Cali.I love my African American men.( that is my preference)no offense to the rest..If you are interested in what you have read and you feel as though you have these qualities..Feel free to send me an e-mail.I will respond.I don't bite..*smile*..
