About Me

I'm a retired teacher. I had a second grade classroom for most of my career, but I also taught small groups from grades 1-8. Since retiring I have done volunteer work for the Humane Society (in the office) and the American Cancer Society (driving patients). I have also acquired some rental properties. Two of them were older homes which I renovated, doing as much work myself as I was able to. I really enjoy the creative process of envisioning a more practical, beautiful home, and then choosing the improvements, colors, and materials to make that a reality. My favorite renovation is now a vacation rental, and I loved being able to take the further step of decorating the home (on a budget!), refinishing furniture, sewing curtains and pillows, and creating artwork.I adore animals, especially my own dog and two cats, all of them rescues. I love going to movies, concerts, and live theater--all things that inspire us and connect us to the human race. I get a kick out of trying new foods and recipes and exploring new places. I enjoy reading and learning about many things, including nutrition and health. Finding a beautifully written book is a real thrill. I enjoy a wide variety of music, from classical to pop--pretty much anything but heavy metal or rap.--Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Mama Mia, etc. I love hiking, as long as I can take my time. Climbing to the top of Mount Aeneas this summer was such a treat. It offers ***degree views from what feels like the top of the world. I am positive, friendly, quiet, kind, dependable, playful, and down to earth. I love intelligent conversation and the sharing of thoughts and ideas. My viewpoint is usually liberal. I strongly believe in human rights, and in treating all others with respect and dignity regardless of race, religion, sexual preference, or personal choices. I was raised Lutheran, and later attended Methodist and non-denominational churches. Although I no longer attend church, I continually strive to grow in my spiritual life. I have a broader view of God now and the connectedness of all creation. I am influenced by the works of Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, and Dr. Seuss.I’m looking for a genuine, gentle man with inner strength, who is relaxed and easy going, intelligent, fun to be with, open minded,. and respectful of all others. I want to find someone who laughs easily, but never at the expense of others, who feels childlike enthusiasm over life’s little pleasures, and who accepts me as I am, yet inspires me to be more. A good first date would offer opportunity for conversation.

    Woman. 52 years old. Zodiac sign: Sagittarius.

    Looking for: man. In age: 49-59

    I am a down to earth, honest, spiritual woman who appreciates the important things in life like getting up in the early morning and participating in yoga class before beginning my day at work. I am an Office Manager for a Property Management Company of an Apartment Complex. I enjoy my job and it allows me a flexible schedule which enables me to get involved in other projects. I currently hold a real estate license, a personal training certification, I'm a licensed nail technician, I hold a NJ elementary teacher's license and I'm a distributor for Young Living Essential Oils. My goal is to one day counsel females on woman's issues and offer them assistance with essential oils for healing. I have three terrific sons who are now beginning their own lives. The oldest is 25, my middle son is 23 and the youngest is 18. The older two are teachers. The youngest is a senior in high school. They live with their father. This was the arrangement for purposes of them finishing high school at the time of our divorce 6 years ago. I really enjoy today's music. I listen to top 40 hit list but do enjoy most types except for heavy metal and heavy rock. I love to dance but do not get to do it enough!!! I am looking to meet someone who is sweet, well-groomed, nice smile (must smile a lot), even tempered, has goals in life, career-oriented, respectful, successful, generous, compromises, caring, nurturing, likes to cuddle, good kisser. Chemistry is a must!!! After being married for 20 years and having been in a long-term relationship for 2 years post-divorce, I have learned that it takes time to get to know a person and one's self in relationships. My intention here is to meet someone who has the same interests as me, get to know him, and if it feels right and feels good -- then hopefully it will go to the next step of a relationship. At this point in my life I have to take it slow until I truly feel it in my heart and know it's right. I believe I will know when I meet that special person because he will be handsome, health conscious, spiritual, kind, independent, he will do things for himself, he won't be needy, and most importantly, he will be aware of my feelings and he will allow me to be my authentic self!. If this sounds like you, send me an e-mail and please have a picture. :) Meet for a Drink or cup or coffee.

    I am a 56 year old professional. It would be a bonus to share some of my interests. I love cooking, being outdoors, taking hikes, skiing, and watching a film. I am fortunate to love my work...I have met so many dedicated and inspiring people of all ages. I have achieved that life work balance. I enjoy travel and keep that sense of adventure by trying new things and exploring new places. Do you want to join me?Every chance I have, I connect with my friends and family. But still long for that partner in crime. A first date can be low pressure and fun, hopefully .some shared stories that are interesting and revealing about our personalities and character.

    I am easy going, flexible, and usually in a good mood. I am a night owl and I don't like to get up until the last minute. I have tried to change this my whole life, but that is just how I am wired. My work is kinda crazy so I sometimes need to wind down afterwards and recharge (take a nap) but then I am ready to go do something fun. I go out a lot...some guys may not like that. I am not much of a drinker so I don't spend a lot of money and I always go out with the same group of friends to hear live music. I like this and would like to meet someone who would enjoy going with me a couple times per week. I would love to go with you to do what you enjoy too. And, I would love to stay in a couple nights and cook something together and sit outside and relax and talk. I have a swimming pool and I also have a lot of flowers and a small herb garden that all keep me busy besides the usual housework etc. But, I somehow manage to do my chores and have a pretty active social life. I have 3 cats (all were strays) who keep me laughing at their antics. Besides, music, I love Cardinals and Redbirds baseball and love to travel. I am a devoted Jesus Follower, but I dont' have a judmental bone in my body. I have not walked in your shoes so I won't judge you. I am often told that I am friendly, kind, and that I never meet a stranger. I am always smiling and talking to everybody. WARNING: I talk too much and recently told some friends that I was going to try to see about reading a book or going to a class about talking less and my friends told me not to change a bit because I was the one who made everyone else feel comfortable. But, I know I need to stop talking so much. I have a decent IQ and I think too much haha and I guess I have a lot to say! . OH, and I make lye soap and i play the guitar and sing. Or we could go downtown and ride the trolley and visit the farmer's marker and maybe find a neat place to eat. I like going to the Redbirds too.
