As I embark on the rest of the journey I am looking forward to sharing my gifts and enhancing the life of a quality man. If that man is you, I will greet you with an open heart, genuinely interested in the real you, and ready to share and celebrate your own gifts.

I am a blend of many things. While hiking a new trail, playing in the snow or sand, or engaging in stimulating conversation over a cup of your favorite beverage, you will find that I can be intense and deep or quite playful, lighthearted and adventurous! As we gaze at a beautiful sunset or cuddle by a fire you will gradually come to know some of the more sensual, romantic and affectionate parts of me. At times you will appreciate my intelligence... At other times we will both laugh at some of the incredibly silly things I can sometimes say and do!! You will also learn of those things I value and take joy in... Love, faith, my children...caring for others in my work as a nurse... putting a smile on someone's face, ...the beauty that surrounds me...and learning , growing, and experiencing new things.

I am committed to a path of growth, health, and wholeness, and I love learning about the differences between men and women, and those things that make a relationship a happy, loving place. Likewise, I very much appreciate a man who has also taken the time for his own personal growth and is curious about these same things. Hopefully we will challenge one another too!

I also admire a man who is confident and has a clear sense of purpose, yet who can openly share his authentic feelings once he knows he can be safe with me. And I will treasure a man who is thoughtful of others, (including the woman in his life), who likes to take the lead ( though he doesn't have to feel pressured!), who finds new trails to explore, and who is intelligent , funny and openly affectionate. And hey... if he has a poetic side, or if he wants to join me on my first hangliding adventure someday then it might just be an extra WOW!!

Finally, it is important to me that the guy I ultimately form a committed relationship with will be someone who trusts and loves God. I have always welcomed people of many walks and perspectives into my life but feel that a long term relationship should be with someone with whom I share a like faith.

Last thoughts....I do understand and respect a man's need to feel freedom. I want you to chart your course on the open seas and I will be the wind behind your sails . When you are ready to dock your ship... when you are tired at the end of a long day and want a friend, a companion , a lover... I want to be your harbor.

So, if any of this resonates with you... I invite you to contact me. Perhaps our paths will cross for a reason...perhaps for a season... or perhaps for a relationship. And who knows... maybe it will even turn out to be that loving and lasting one that will sustain us through the rest of the journey!
