Myself? Well, I guess that's easy enough...HA HA HA!!! I love to have those great conversations that you walk away from thinking that you may have just solved one of life's ultimate dilemmas (full well knowing that you are just enveloped in the moment). I keep myself grounded for the most part and try to stay motivated to accomplish all of my goals. I have earned my Master's in Child Psychology as of May 2007 and am working as a mental health clinician to children and adolescents at a residential facility. I have just recently gotten back into fitness and have entered several 5K races over the last year. I hope to prepare for a 10K at some point. I am passionate about caring for others. My family, friends, co-workers, client's, and significant others. I love getting satisfaction out of making people feel easy, helped, loved, good about themselves, comfortable, talented, complimented and important. I would go to the ends of the earth for my family and friends. I am passionate about the work that I do with my kids (clients). They are important to me. I care about their well being, their mental and emotional health and want to see them succeed in even just a small way, whatever that means for them. I am passionate about music and cannot get enough of it in my life. It incites such amazing emotion in every way, good and bad. It would be torture to live without. I am passionate about laughing. I love laughing and anyone who can make me laugh in any way, is fantastic. Some say my laugh is infectious but I think it's more obnoxious. What can I do though? It's the only laugh I have so I use it and use it well. Laughing makes things better, it heals and sometimes even gives perspective. I'm passionate about being empathic, compassionate, loving, considerate, listening and giving. On a smaller scale, I am passionate about the color lilac and try to surround myself in its warmth. I love lilies. Their fragrance is nostalgic, elegant and sweet. If I could have them in my life, every day of my life, I would. I am opinionated and I don't have a problem telling you so. I am confident in myself and my abilities. I hate disarray but seem to be able to ignore my own. I love to watch scary movies but would settle for a sappy romance film. I am paranoid of driving in the city but I am working on it...hey, everyone has a "thing." I love to talk for hours but will sit and listen for longer if need be. I am loyal to a fault and trust a select group of people. I love to sing in my car and would love to learn to play the guitar but would rather listen to someone else play it for me. I tell it like it is and detest liars. I am happy and I love being happy. I love my dog but my cat is cute too. I am a dreamer and I want love, real love...and I don't think I am asking too much.

I think that first dates are great and I love going on them, however, I think that too much emphasis and pressure is put on them. Meeting at a coffee/tea shop is just fine with me. The second date, on the other hand, is where it's at for me. Take me to dinner at a great Indian restaurant, miniature golfing (I'll try to give you a run for your money), take me on a walk by a body of water (any puddle will do), take me apple/pumpkin picking (I'll let you hold my things so you can feel "manly") , take me ice skating (I'll fall a couple of times and make you laugh), take me on a hay ride (I promise not to sneeze on you), take me to the Botanical Gardens (c'mon, it's not THAT bad), or take me to a baseball/football/hockey game (I will try not to embarrass you with my loud shouts about bad calls). I'm pretty open to what we do. I just like to have a good time in good company.
