I enjoy a balanced life – playing as equally hard as I work. I am 5’3”, 105#s, fit and believe in living a healthy lifestyle – mind, body, and spirit. My life in the past few years have been enriched with my yoga practice, painting, family and traveling. I also believe traveling keeps one grounded and focused on the present moment – a challenge for this day and age when we live in such a rat race. Traveling – both domestically and internationally – has become a passion of mine. (International places of travel: Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam, Shanghai, Beijing, Xian, Cuzco, MachuPicchu, Costa Rica. In May I visited Bolivia to experience the world's largest salt flat, Desierto de Dali, Lake Titicaca, and Isla de Sol.) Most recently, I had an opportunity to visit Kenilworth National Park as well as the Petrified Forest National Park. So, if you find yourself well-traveled, I would love to exchange travel stories with you. I can dress for a hike in the canyons or a night on the town – you could say that I am very versatile.

While I love to travel, I also enjoy quiet pleasures at home. Simple things in life bring me great enjoyment – good conversations, discovering new things together, and hiking during sunrise. I am far from pretentious yet close to zany. Basically, I love having fun and sharing great laughs!!! Definitely independent yet I equally value sharing togetherness.

I appreciate men who are intelligent, kind-hearted, passionate, wise, grounded, witty, together, fun and funny. More importantly, I am looking to establish a friendship before all else. If you're in a bit of a rush to be a couple, I am not the best dating candidate for you. I am interested in discovering you, your values and core....and sharing mine as well. If my words resonate with you and you are an explorer, adventurer, and risk taker of life, please say, "Hello".

For those who have asked me about the meaning behind my choice of song...."Good-Bye Horses": 'In an Eastern philosophy "horses" are symbolic/representative of the 5 senses - the things that keep us tied to the physical/material plane of existence. When you can transcend the limitations of these senses and achieve a higher level of consciousness, you are leaving the "horses" behind - "flying over them." The song is about someone who was so affected by (A loss? A breakup?) they decide to give up the things that keep them tied to this world by emotion.'

I am not one to pass things along but this is great therapy for a tough day!

1. At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. Notice if they slow down.

6. Skip down the hall rather than walk and see how many looks you get.

7. Order a diet water whenever you go out to eat, with a serious face.

8. Specify that your drive-through order is 'To Go'.

9. Sing along at the opera.

10. Five days in advance, tell your friends you can't attend their party because you have a headache.

11. When the money comes out of the ATM, scream "I Won! I Won!"

12. When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot yelling: "Run For Your Lives! They're Loose!"

13. Tell your children over dinner, "Due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go go."
