Well where should I begin??? I am a Single,straight Independent woman,seeking an honest soul-mate if there's such a thing these days. Above I stated that I occasionally smoke, but would like to point out that I'm on a path of quitting. FYI: I prefer if you don't smoke. I rarely drink but do enjoy a socialable one from time to time. I am a Proud Single Mother To My 3 Children,one of which is married and has left the nest. My remaining son and daughter both live full time with me. Therefore you must love children. I risked my life in having my angels and have decided the risk is too high to have anymore especially at my age. I would prefer a man who also has children who has also chosen to not have anymore. I enjoy doing many things especially if I'm in the right company. I'm honest to a fault and expect the same in return. I am a hopeless romantic who tries not to wear her heart on her sleeve. I'm not here looking for an intimate encounter, I can get that anywhere. I have respect for myself and my body. I live for the common good. I have been raised with strong ms, as well as traditional Values. I expect my significant other to hold the same.I love campfires in the backyard,roasting marshmallows and cuddling by the fire. Fire mesmerizes me,it is so beautiful to watch but can get so out of control when ignited., much like what I am seeking in a relationship. I want to find that beautiful spark that ignites our inner and outer bodies,minds & souls with each other. My children are my world. I love my life and would like to find that someone special to share it with. I'm NOT here to waste anyone's time and I expect the same in return.I'm seeking my one and only. I will always be upfront on what I'm looking for in a mate so please Don't hesitate to ask what that would be..Let's be totally honest as I always am,no pussie footing around here..If we find similar interests in each other,well lets pursue it,If not then carry on.Life is too short and precious to be wasting it on the wrong ones. I'm putting serious effort in finding my one and only.The one I want to spend eternity with. If you are as well,then drop me a line and lets see what we have in compatibility. If you love life then live it,and if you live life then love it,that's my motto. P.s I do have a naughty sexy side just prefer to know someone before I share that ;)
