About Me

My heart is on the trail between jagged, snow-capped peaks and rushing waters. Call me a determined optimist. I believe passionately in leaving a better world. I am spirited, smart, inquisitive, happily feminine, fit, passionate, and active. I’;Be joyful despite the facts." Among the identities I’ve worn and enjoyed are journalist, Congressional policy aide, and teacher. Being "mom" has been my most cherished role, and though that work is largely done, the pleasure of independent adult sons remains.For me, one kind of perfect day is a hike during the river roar of snowmelt just as tender lilies shoot up through the last glints of winter. I carry paper scraps and scribble notes for stories and poems. Then they go through the wash forgotten in my pockets but somehow, I remember key words. And pictures are indeed worth a thousand, so I *** clouds above tree line and between ridges. Share with me what brings awe to your life. I seek a co-conspirator for adventures, romance, comedy and laughter, delight, and trying on ideas. We all have tall wish lists. A few on mine: I want you to be smart, passionate, emotionally available, adventurous, kind, interested in personal growth, physically fit, and able to see the humor in life. Ideally, we are both lifelong learners. But not perfect ;-)I'm really looking for a best friend with whom I share playful, intellectual, physical and emotional chemistry. In my thinking, best friends do things together--apart, and sometimes separate things side by side. Though I can and do wear velvet gowns and enjoy a dressy night out--see photos, I'm most comfy in denim. I’m a passionate explorer and am hoping to meet someone with passions and experiences both similar and different than mine. There are many places and things I’ve yet to experience. For example, I'd enjoy learning to snowboard or ski. I am comforted standing next to glaciers that make me feel small. If you lose me on the trail, chances are I’ve found the perfect womb in an ancient tree to nest in.If you have a kayak or canoe, bonus points. If you can reteach me to flyfish or might learn with me, more bonus points. I adore being read to. Semi-sweet chocolate or a hand-picked bouquet will delight me. I love the city, too--plays, music, comedy, fine dining, etc. Yet if I had to choose between mountains and skyscrapers, I'd stop in the city on the way to or from the peaks. I can live in either the wilds or the city, and like to be reasonably close to both. Travel is a must here and there--that's part of the experience v. stuff.Being playful brings balance as I make my living with my head. Of course, all the usual apply. I cry at movies where the dog grows old and dies. You’ll find me enjoying all varieties of film, and I’m not above renting children’s movies that make me laugh. History fascinates me. I can root for the Seahawks win or lose. Good thing, huh?I’m very much a grown-up and still like stuffed animals that squeak. Though I'd love it if you lived next door already, I cannot be flexible on those four "chemistry" qualities, so I'm open to a wee bit of distance, as my work and life have some flexibility.--depends on cards in the next hand.I wish you the best. Let's chat about favorite people and journeys, walk and talk, and be ready for the possibility of magic. At the same time, I'm always open to new friendships--so "no pressure" on a first date is important.

    Friends describe me as generous, loyal, and self-deprecating in a good way as I can laugh at myself. They compliment me on my sense of style, often seeking my advice as a professional designer. They tell me that I am a good listener, one who is non-judgmental and genuinely concerned.I see myself as free-spirited with an adventurous soul. I enjoy traveling the world, dancing all night long, as well as entertaining family and friends at home. I am an involved mother of a beautiful daughter, conscientious and charitable person, and an all around fun-loving individual. I enjoy boating and diving, as well as going to concerts and the theater. I am unconventional and a hopeless romantic. I live life to the fullest and am emotionally available to those who share my passions.My ideal partner is strong and intelligent with a wicked sense of humor. I am seeking my best friend who has an amorous side to him. Chemistry is important, but not of the superficial kind. perhaps meet for lunch or happy hour

    I am your basic girl next door looking for a "cyber connection" the same as you. I am not into casually dating. If I don't answer your ***, please don't take offense. It isn't because I don't want to, it is because when I do and say "thanks but I do not think we are a match", I've gotten mean *** My preferences for my "future cyber connection":1 Still has a career or if retired, very active in something.2 Loves his family and is close to them. 7 Close to my age a little younger or older is fine. I feel I look and act young so looking for similar.8 Doesn't have small children. Sorry, been there done that. As for me, I'm a CFO/CPA for a retail diamond company by day and a CPA by night. I keep busy, but for the right "connection", I find plenty of time for us.I have traveled the world and still love to travel, but I keep it close to home these days due to all the unrest in the world of flying. (Unless you talk me into somewhere...lol)I am not into *** or talking on the phone alot. I like to meet and see if the "chemistry" is there sooner than later. Drinks somewhere quiet (with appetizer because I can't drink w/o having something on my stomach).I do not drink coffee.
