I walk through life laughing often, enjoying my work and play. I do not understand people who write that they "don't want any baggage". I am interested in meeting someone who knows that they carry baggage, who has actually investigated what that baggage is & grown from it.

I am known for my smile, energy and optimism...I am very outgoing & down-to-earth and love to be around people. Life is short & negativity is too comsuming to allow into my life.

Anything in the outdoors appeals to me~ gardening, camping, kayaking, sitting around a fire with good friends and good wine. I am Canadian and my favorite place to spend time is in the northern Ontario wilderness.

I am active but not athletic. I am 135lbs and in decent shape. I can keep up to you on a hike or a slow jog. I don't watch sports on TV, however, I do love to watch my boys play sports. I promise not to complain when you want to watch a game, & am happy to snuggle up and read a book while you do, or make the snacks for the guys.

I am attracted to a man that can make me laugh, enjoys the outdoors, weekend get-aways, is open-minded, playful, moral, sarcastic, positive and confident. I have learned that some of the people you best connect with don't have all of the traits that you thought you had to have. I feel passion & affection are essential in a relationship & I won't settle for a relationship without it.

I love to read self-help books, and am working on not sweating that proverbial "small stuff"...always lessons to be learned!

I have 3 fabulous boys that are my priority, but they are with their dad 50% of the time, so I have time on my hands for me. (& maybe you!)

I like to limit our first meeting to one drink or one cup of coffee. No pressure, just a chance to see if there is a spark or any compatiblity & hopefully have some good conversation. I'm honest and straight-forward & don't stand people up. If there is a connection there will be plenty of time for more later...
