Incredibly grateful for where I am in my life, where I've been, and excited about where the next turn will take me.

On one hand I believe that life always unfolds as it should, and when it should. On the other I also believe that one shouldn't simply sit idly by and wait for things to happen... Hence this online thing I suppose. Important to be proactive... even when it comes to love, (or so my friends keep insisting!:).

Having an open mind, an open heart, and an adventurous spirit I love trying new things, new places and meeting people from all cultures and all walks of life... Still, the return home is always very sweet...

I love to laugh and the people who bring it... Laughing at the ironic little curves that life sends our way and not taking things too seriously usually helps keep things in perspective, and probably one of the keys to the peace that we desire in our hearts.

I believe that our attitudes and our energy are far more powerful to what we realize than many of us understand. So quite happy and quite hopeful am I. :)

Passionate about many things, yet very gentle and easy going by nature, seldom finding anything worth arguing over. Everyone is entitled to their feelings and opinions. I respect them, but don't feel pressure to conform or agree with them necessarily. I of course have mine, but absolutely love listening to yours and keep an open mind. I admire and am drawn to people who are also passionate, open hearted, open minded and who possess strong communication skills and tend to deliver even the most difficult of information with kindness and compassion… Yes, kindness, compassion, understanding, and integrity... Qualities I hopefully possess as well.

I've been athletic and active all my life and it's always been important to me to stay very fit and healthy, and appreciate others who do and feel the same. Thanks to that and good genes, (and good jeans:)) I feel pretty fantastic! I exercise, meditate, and find laughter daily, (not to hard to find the laughter with two very fun and very silly little boys!).

Children... all of them are so precious, and they remind me continuously of the best and most important things in life. I watch and listen to them closely. My two beautiful children fill my heart with more joy, love and reward than I could possibly express. What they teach is more valuable than anything in any book that I've ever read...

Reading... I love to read and I love to write whenever I have the time. Going out to see a film or at home watching a dvd cuddled under a sea of blankets is great too.

Love to cook... Cooking together is SO great... dining out is equally nice. Just depends on how long we want to wait to get close... Love both public and private displays of affection. :)

While I am blessed with and enjoy a fulfilling career that I love, I am not consumed by it. First and foremost my priorities will always be with family and my core relationships.

Whew! That's quite a bit about me! Looking forward to hearing from you who are happy, fun loving, adventurous, thoughtful, share similar likes/sensibilities, and of course can be down right silly at times!:)
