Live the life of your dreams!

About Me

Let me tell you a little about me... world travel, fine French food, white chocolate, champagne with peaches, caipirinhas - these are some of the many things I enjoy. I am stylish and elegant but am not self-absorbed.

I love bubble baths and anything with a jasmine aroma. Good manners are important. I believe in miracles and angels the way some people believe in fairy tales. I am funny and silly but am not a clown. I am a fan of pin-up girls and Josephine Baker.

I am a warm, spontaneous, smiling, sociable person. I am open-minded, capable and confident; a warrior and adventurer who never rushes to judgment. I have a fertile imagination. I'm an astute observer of words and people. I work hard to realize my dreams and to make every day better.

You own yourself and can be whatever your heart desires. No one can take that way. Every person has his or her own beauty and talent. I love to meet new people and listen to their life story.... especially intelligent, artistic, Bohemians -- creative people with good taste!

There's is a free spirit inside me - a bit of a Gypsy with a positive, well-balanced energy, a gift, no doubt, from the Tropics!

I love long walks on the beach... fresh coconut juice, watching the sun rise and set... Boats! Napping on a hammock; gazing into the blue sky, the full moon and stars.

I love my friends. I am blessed with good people in my life - good souls who will do anything for me and for whom I will do anything to help. These are my angel friends whom I shall always cherish. It is a wonderful feeling being loved and loving back those whom I care so much about.
