Life's an ongoing lesson- that is what I teach, that is what I believe.The past is a time in which to look back, reevaluate, & make changes so that the future can be brighter & better. The best things in life take time to learn. You learn how to become a great person by life experiences; people experiences, & your environment. My experiences have molded me into the person I am today; kind, caring, respectful, full of life, laughter,& happiness.

Me:
I'm well educated, have a diverse background, & a really good head on my shoulders. Besides teaching English As A Second Language to adult immigrants, I dedicate myself to helping others- I have a decree in Criminal Justice, AND I HELP CATCH AND REPORT INTERNET PREDATORS (ESPECIALLY NIGERIANS-WHICH THERE ARE A LOT OF ON THESE SITES). I am also an Emergency First Responder through Homeland Security, and have been trained in such situations as Disaster Preparedness, Fire Safety, Disaster Medical Operations, Search and Rescue, and Disaster Psychology.

The itch of a mid-life...not crisis per say, but a "MID-LIFE CHANGE" (sounds better) has hit..As of January, 2012- I will become a student once again...and get certified in Emergency (911) Dispatching..so really, I do like helping people and our community...(Now all I need is that dream car, hair extensions, and I am all set...isn't that what the men do???)


My Dream Man:
I’m searching for a blue jean/ black tie, attractive, intelligent, educated, employed, 38-48 year old well-versed man that knows what he wants from life & has the where-with-it-all to ascertain it. HONESTY IS A MUST! He must have a good sense of humor & sharp wit. I love a man that is caring & affectionate; who is not pretentious & happy with whom he is. The man of my dreams has a warm smile, a soft touch, a strong mind & most importantly a good heart. He is trusting & trustworthy. He stands beside me not behind me or in front of me in our walk through life.

Things I Like To Do:
My interests include cooking, traveling, photography, working out, cultural adventures, cuddling, & any outdoor activities in the spring, summer & fall (winters I like to go to tropical destinations)- hiking, biking, rafting, boating, long drives to nowhere, snorkeling, picnics with a fine bottle of vino, reading, & simple things such as just gazing into some incredibly sexy eyes.


My ideal relationship:
Someone who connects with you on all levels, who shares your same ideals and values. Who can look into your eyes, read your mind, and can finish your sentences.I love someone who can give and loves to get.I enjoy sending flowers and cards to my man "just because", I work hard for my money and will take YOU on a night out on the town also.

What kind of man I am searching for:
I would like someone who is educated, who is book smart and life smart. Someone who is funny, has a great sense of humor, romantic, likes to be around children, and realizes that a relationship is 50/50 most of the time. Someone who can step back and say "Wow, you did a great job!" and "Thank you" I would love an officer and a gentleman!

Ultimately, what I look for when meeting someone new is a sense of chemistry. Everyone knows what that feeling is and when it clicks. With that said, I do believe chemistry can develop OVER A PERIOD OF TIME when there is mutual interest. One aspect I especially believe helps chemistry to grow and take its natural course between two is when they make each other laugh. A sense of humor with each other and about ones self is an important element which draws people closer. Developing new friends and cultivating good friendships male or female in life's journey is important to me on all levels. In terms of friendship with a potential to grow and develop into something more,... I tend to be most drawn to those who I share similar values with, views on life, and the world around us…not that we must match exactly, but that our views are woven with a common thread. Also, someone who is emotionally mature, can communicate their feelings...is loyal, with a natural interest in being kind, inspired, motivated and authentic.
