| About Me
|
|
|
I am a "hopeful romantic" who delights in the simple things and everyday blessings. I am passionate about living life with an open and forgiving heart, an inquisitive mind, and a zest for new experiences. I treasure the feeling that comes from sharing a beautiful poem, an exquisite melody, or an evening sunset.
I know the wondrous feeling that comes from "holding the one true hand you were meant to hold"....because in that hand IS your heart's embrace.
The poetry of Robert Frost, David Whyte, Mary Oliver, Rumi, Hafiz, and Machado continues to inspire me to dream of an unguarded love.....where the stepping stones to each other's heart are crossed with love and respect.
I am "Grounded", yet ready to experience new heights, new depths with the right man! I am an intuitive, creative and caring woman who yearns for a relationship where love is a renewable resource!
Together, we create a true partnership in which the support in unconditional, there is an unbreakable romantic and sexual bond, and the laughter and tears are always shared.
My career is an excellent mirror of my passions...creativity, intimacy, and mindfulness. In addition to teaching psychology, I lead workshops on on topics which include "Thinking Like A Genius", Creating Into- Me-See", "Cultivatinig Mindfulness",
I am a unique blend of intellectual curiousity and "Lucy" zaniness and am a friend for all seasons. I am looking for a relationship that is honest, monogamous, passionate and joyful....one that nourishes the heart, soul, and the senses.
About YOU:
A tender hearted, intelligent and witty man, who cares deeply about people, animals,and the environment who has enough energy and passion to create an
adventurous and meaninful life. You are a curious and affectionate man who has experienced life and is ready to share it.

How I spend my free time:
- I love the company of good friends and shared intimacies. Meditation and walking in the woods with my dog Grace keeps me centered. An avid reader and theatre goer,the world of words and ideas fascinates me.
Volunteering at the local animal shelter is one of the most satisfying parts of my week. We have a very successful program which socializes hard to place dogs and makes them more adoptable.
