I am happy with who I am and the directions that I am going. I enjoy and appreciate taking care of myself physically, emotionally and mentally. I have found that finding a balance can be the challenge, art and joy of life. At times this feels like something between a tight wire walk, a dance of life or some new hybrid shuffle (that I am learning as I go). Either way, I am excited to be aboard and see what’s around the corner next.
About me………So, I moved here from the East Coast, NY (Long Island) about 13 years ago. I have been seeking out my career niche teaching art here in California from private to public schools and non-profit sector. I've been on some twists and turns that have me upside down and inside out. I am still in search of decent NY pizza, but I am glad to be moving forward, for whatever that means for now.
It can be difficult to avoid the cliché of “finding love”, so I will just say it anyway. I still romanticize to find “the one”, lover, partner, and best friend. Yet, I don’t necessarily believe (yet) that there is just one romantic partner for everyone. But I do believe that relationships were meant to be for what they were and can be therefore appreciated. I am not overtly spiritual, but I believe that timing is “key”, and that things essentially will work out if they are meant to be.
In a partner, I am first drawn to confidence, allured by passion and mystery, yet equally appreciate chivalry and responsibility. I look for a partner that is always or most times willing to grow within a relationship. Equally, I do not look for perfection nor am I interested or willing to try and change anyone. But, I like a I look for someone that does not rely on a relationship for a sense of security and comfort. Likewise a few qualities I look for are; trustworthy, honest, compassionate, open, intriguing, and passionate. He is then responsible and aware for his actions and responsible for his own happiness, self esteem, and love for life today. Likewise, I hope to be the same and would love to share it!
I am playful and like to play. I will try most sports and really appreciate, humbling myself and learning more. I love to learn how my body responds to each sport’s unique quality, playfully and energetically. I dig on playing anything from golf to badminton….bowling, basketball, softball (I am a girl) skiing, running and hiking. Yet, I am far from being a female “jock” as I am petite and move more consciously with grace. I have also been known to be a groovy roller skater, hoola- hooper , twirler, and a pro at the pogo stick (Yes, born in the 70’s) Oh, and I love Yoga! I wish that I would have discovered this sooner, but, hey……………now is still better than never!!!!! Moreover, I love dancing! I have taken and enjoyed swing dance lessons; trying hip hop, enjoyed West African dance, love Martha Graham, dance at home getting my groove on and soon………… maybe tango. But, I am a runner at heart and have no words for the simplicity and great gratitude I have for being able to run.
On a rainy night, I enjoy cooking together a fantabulous meal, snuggling with a movie, playing scrabble, reading a book. I adore brunch on a Saturday/Sunday morning equally as well as cooking a uniquely incredible omelet or perhaps to perfect one myself. On a sunny day, you can find me sitting on a blanket at a park reading or sketching. I may not lead the most glamorous life but; I have fun with simplicity, I admit adoration to fashion and design. I have gratitude and acceptance for what I have and who I am.

I would like to keep it simple but have fun getting to know you. I like to keep an open mind and enjoy the possibilities of meeting someone new. Perhaps a coffee, tea, drink,?
