| About Me
|
|
|
|
I am a gentle, heart-centered woman, sensitive and affectionate. I hope to catch both your eye and interest with my sense of adventure and appreciation of fun and laughter. You'll find me laughing at the ironies of life and my imperfect self. I don't want things, I want experiences. I love travelling and the simple things in life, a soft touch, the sounds of birds in the morning, the smell and feel of just washed sheets, the beauty of nature, the taste of red wine, grilled salmon and more. I appreciate and respect my man who is generous, adventurous, protective, respectful, and smart. I'm loyal, sensual and available for a man who wants a long term romance, a man of his word who can keep me on my toes with his intellect, humour and energy. |

How I spend my free time:
- I love having a coffee after a morning walk along with the beach with you, yoga, movies, enjoying your company at Vancouver Film Festival, Vancouver Folk Festival, Illuminares Lantern Festival, Universal Kirtan, Bard on the Beach ... Driving on the coast together on a clear day, laughing at the comedies of life, exploring North America's wonderful provincial and state parks in a comfortable camping van, relishing your conversation and silence in evenings at home, exploring new restaurants, so much to enjoy!

Are friends accomplishments? I am so grateful for long term, lifelong friends. Also my Oxford degree, my many travels alone (particularly to Tibet), baking lots of perfect fruit pies.

I think loneliness as a child made me hungry for the spiritual connection I feel to nature and to the divine.

Osho is satisfying because he celebrates life (a rare thing in spiritual circles), and brings together psychology and meditation. It's all about joy in daily life.

Connecting to something greater than myself, Finding happiness and peace within, Helping me cope with the struggles of life, Belonging to a like-minded community, Helping me grow as a person

Pema Chodron for sure. Also Joko Beck, and Tara Brach. Chogyam Trungpa, Eckhart Tolle. Osho's hundreds of transcribed discourses. Byron Katie and Gangaji are current favourites.
