I am a highly intelligent, deeply loving single mom looking for my soul mate. I enjoy the simple things in life (memories mean more to me than material possessions) and the people in my life are most important. I enjoy life to the fullest every day. I love to laugh (even at myself), listen to music, read, design things, learn new things, enjoy new experiences (especially with a special someone) and pampering those close to me. I love to surprise you each and every day in unique and unforgettable ways -I like to keep busy - life is too short to let anything slip past us. I always look for the positive in any situation. I have 4 great kids that I raised well (daughter 11 and son 15 still at home - and daughter 24, son 22) I am currently working on remodeling each room of my home and just taught myself to do the tile work - which looks amazing! I love to hike, swim, bike and travel....I have a curious nature about everything...the world is ours to explore!! I am currently working on a book about all I have overcome in my life - which may even be optioned out as a movie at some point. I just got burned pretty bad by a scammer on another site - but I'm such an optimist - I'm not willing to throw the towel in yet... just open my eyes a little wider I guess!
