I consider myself to be a fair, honest, laid back, open minded and affectionate person! I am spiritual, but not religious! I am a single parent of a 15 year old, who is the love of my life! I love animals, children, singing, dancing, anywhere there is water, PDA's, snuggling up on cold or rainy days, trying all different types of cuisines, learning about different people, experiencing all different types of activities like sports and travel, arts and crafts, theater, music, movies and entertainment. Looking for a positive, open minded, intelligent, articulate, communicative, respectful, motivated, passionate, compassionate, romantic, sensual, tender, loving and affectionate, one woman relationship minded, confident but modest, accountable, respectable, God fearing man who knows how to cherish and treat a woman, loves life and respects people, nature and the world!

Thoughts to share
A Beautiful Life....

Love yourself.
Make peace with who you are and where you are at this moment in time.

Listen to your heart.
If you can't hear what its saying in this noisy world, make time for yourself.
Enjoy your own company. Let your mind wonder among the stars.

Try.
Take chances. Make mistakes.
Life can be messy and confusing at times, but it's also full of surprises.
The next rock in your path might be a stepping-stone.

Be happy.
When you don't have what you want, want what you have.
Make do.
That's a well-kept secret of contentment.

There aren't any shortcuts to tomorrow.
You have to make your own way.
To know where you're going is only part of it, you need to know where you've been too.
And if you ever get lost, don't worry.
The people who love you will find you.
Count on it.

Life isn't days and years.
Its what you do with time and with all the goodness and grace that's inside you.
Make a beautiful life.......

(Thanks my friend Shamir for sharing! Quite beautiful and words to live by! They do bring comfort and peace!)

For a first date, I would love to go anywhere that would set a romantic mood that would leave an opportunity for conversation in getting to know one another, whether that is a walk/picnic in the park, dinner, cafe, museum, gallery, brunch, lunch, street fair, horse back riding or folding laundry...LOL! I'm laid back and open minded, and the ideal date would just to be with someone who enjoys your company just as much as you do their's. Both of you would be engrossed in conversation endlessly about everything and anything, and time would just fly because both of you are having fun just being in each other's company. Your cheeks would hurt from smiling so much and you hope the day would never end, but then you look forward to spending more time with this person until you meet again! Of course, chemistry and attraction are key...so I would long for the anticipation of the first kiss after having such an enjoyable time! It doesn't matter what you do or don't do, as long as you're with the right person, everything is perfect and anything seems possible, even venturing into the unknown...

Love me without fear
Trust me without questioning
Need me without demanding
Want me without restrictions
Accept me without change
Desire me without inhibitions
For a love so free…

Will never fly away
