Just returned to Winnipeg after 14 years away, I left here as a twenty something, so both the city and I are different. Looking to develop a social circle, and get out and experience the city...open to more, but there's no rush!

When does size matter?

The size of your heart, the size of your mind, the size of your spirit - they matter. A lot.

I teach children with exceptional needs, and teach teachers how to include them. I have recently completed my PHD, and I travel the country speaking about how to teach children with diverse abilities. I am sensitive, intense, and passionate about everything that matters - my students, my family, my friends - life. On the other hand, I am very laid back about the things that aren't a big deal.

Don't get me wrong. Strong women can be vulnerable too. I can be quiet and shy in some settings, feminine and softspoken in others, and a powerhouse in others. I need nurturing, care, protection, and support like all women do. I need a playmate and friend, a cheerleader and a "perspective giver". I need someone to nurture, care for, protect and adore, too. I need the chance to be both Yin and Yang - so hope you relish that opportunity too.

Healthy living is important to me. I work out regularly, enjoy a variety of activities, and eat a mostly healthy (save the chocolate) diet. I enjoy being active, playing and being silly, but I also appreciate cultural and intellectual pursuits. The ballet, theater, jazz, art exhibits and spiritual retreats are amongst my favorites. Balance is important - exercising my mind, spirit, and soul is part of a healthy lifestyle.

I am blessed. I spend most of my days soaring the skies of my choosing, and come home to rest in a loving and inspirational community of family and friends. I give thanks, and I try to serve and give something back. I know how fortunate I am, and am looking for someone with similar perspective. Be joyous, be compassionate, be reflective - have integrity, loyalty, EQ and IQ - and we'll connect.


** A note on IM: I often pop online to check my email as a break from my research, and then pop back off, and thus miss the IM window. As well, when my time is limited and I'm trying to catch up on emails - I often ignore IM windows from people I don't know. So please, email me first - and then if we connect - feel free to IM me!

Just an opportunity to see if we connect - the place / activity doesn't matter.
