About Me

"wabi-sabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature, of accepting the natural cycle of growth, decay, and death. . . it reveres authenticity above all" - tadao andoBeing a wabi-sabi woman in our American culture can be a challenge. My mother has always told me, "It's not so much that people change, but that they become more truly who they really are." The experience of authenticity, for me, is much more a process of uncovering, that discovering. Lofty words, right? But what does it really mean? My path is the process of figuring that out.I love to read. I love to follow my curiosity down twisting paths of research. I love to combine science, nature, literature and daily experiences into syncretic creations that I can share with clients and congregations. I love to public speak. I love to laugh and have a truly obnoxious appreciation of puns. I love my parents and enjoy long conversations with them both, on a weekly basis. I LOVE my kid! She is the most amazing person I have ever met and has taught me more about how to practice authenticity, in the past 8 years, than I could have imagined possible. I love being a mother and all the opportunities to become a better person that if presents. I love the intense aliveness that I experience when I am intimately connecting with people. I love to listen to people's stories about what is real for them, what makes them come alive, regardless of what that is. Enthusiasm is a huge turn on for me. I have been losing my hearing since I was 5 years old and am now almost completely deaf. I have phenomenal speech-reading skills, and most people would never know how hearing impaired I am. My hearing loss leads to some of my most contradicting realities. I love music, but can't understand lyrics. This may be why most of my favorite music is either world or ***, although I am an avid fan of classic rock. Oh, and the blues - that's a wabi-sabi thing, for sure. I love to listen to people, but often I hear more of what is not being said and that can offend some people. A lot of people hide behind their words, not realizing how much their body language is giving away. Because of the energy it takes, I am not a fan of small talk. I'd rather sit in silence with someone than exchange banalities. I value face-to-face communication above all else, but have a kid-on-Christmas-morning love for technology, too. Texting and FaceTime rock! Good God, I have no idea how to answer this. So much would depend on you! I love to learn and experience new things, and since enthusiasm is such a turn on for me, I can imagine that sharing something you wildly enjoy would work. I can imagine that meeting for coffee or frozen yogurt, over a game of Scrabble or Clue, could be fun. I love taking long drives and motorcycle rides. I really enjoy DIY projects and power tools. I enjoy boating and being on or near the water. I love hiking and discovering new places. I also enjoy cooking (and eating), as well as watching others cook.

    After some time on and off of Match, I have learned more about who I am and what I am seeking. It turns out it is pretty simple. I still believe in the dream. The house, the kids, the friends and family. Maybe even a picket fence. It looks different now. Likely two families have merged, there are extra people involved who I never anticipated. But the dream remains. I am seeking my person: my best friend, partner, confidant, and lover. I want the mundane beauty that glows from an intact healthy family. At the end of our workdays, after little league, homework, music lessons, and cleaning the dishes from dinner – it’s just us and the world. And we have everything. Getting to this point is a long process and it will be a while before it all truly comes together, but I believe it is worth investing the time and emotional energy. I am not sure where we live or what you do. But you are smart, kind, and I smile when I think of you. Together we laugh, we support each other in sadness. We grow. Maybe we have lots of luxuries. Maybe not. But it doesn’t matter because we are. I still believe. If you do too, and you're ready, drop me a line. ******* ******* *******A simple life of family and friends makes me happy. Whether hanging in yoga pants or rocking an evening dress, the people I am with make the experience.Live music, anything comedy, a weekend getaway, a roaring fire, and a home renovation project all make me smile. Compassion and vision I believe are essential to being well. I am driven and confident, but hold deep an empathy for others which keeps me grounded . To my relationships I am naturally loyal and committed. Through self reflection and self analysis I am always seeking to improve myself and understand what I bring to others. I am seeking someone with positive energy who reads, enjoys the arts, likes kids, and wants to have fun. Meeting up with friends is always a great time as is just being together. I have enjoyed all of the chapters of my life thus far and have no regrets. I am seeking someone to join me as I start a new beginning. Future looks bright - who's in?
