in two words, a woman of strength and determination. Type A personality when I need to be a Type B-D when I choose to be. I am a people person. I can be whatever I need to be to make others feel comfortable with me. I am certified in history, English, sociology and a masters in education. I enjoy being active and staying fit. I am 5'5" and weigh 118. I eat healthy, but enjoy junk food now and then. I teach in Jefferson County and enjoy my job, but love the people with whom I work. I have a beautiful daughter of 18 and she is the extent of my family. Laughter to me is the best cure for most any ailment and I enjoy being with my friends. I am seeking a man that is comfortable with who and where he is in life. I do not want to fix or be fixed. I enjoy the beach at any season, walks most anytime, dancing whether in the rain or at a club or in my den, singing karaoke whether with or without a listener, reading by the fire with a glass of wine, or dining with a new friend. There is so much too enjoy,even amidst the challenges of life that try to get us off track. The darkest skies must always part to allow the light behind to burst forth. The gentle wind is so much more powerful in a relationship than the destructive hurricane.

The dates I have been on consisted of a nice restaurant, mutual respect, nice conversation, with a dash of a motor bike ride, sometimes a picnic and a walk, or just a quiet evening with a fire, wine and getting to know one another. Movies are always good if you do not want to talk a lot. The possibilities are endless, but the most important element is to feel comfortable with yourself, thereby allowing your date to feel comfortable with you.
