I'd like to meet a person who I could truly be friends with. Someone who is kind, smart, open-minded, and has a good sense of humor, as well as a sense of fun and balance in life. I'm in a good place now, but I'm glad that I've been through some rough times - adversity made me more understanding of others and more appreciative of what I have. I don't take myself too seriously - I like the saying, "Those who laugh last."

I'm fortunate to have a lot of interests and a career that I enjoy. I have been an English teacher and an academic librarian, and am now an elementary school Teacher-Librarian. I'm most grateful to have a wonderful family and friends. The light of my life is my five-year-old daughter. I'm really enjoying being her mom.

Meeting for a cup of coffee seems like a good first date.
