Please take a second to read my profile before sending me an add request. If we have nothing in common or you're simply looking for a ropeslut, move on. If you're a band and I like your sound, I'll add you.
I am a retired/disabled Deputy Sheriff. Currently spending some of my time as a Professional Pet Tranining Instructor. I spent a brief time in my recent life as a Pet Nurse for a local animal hospital and previously as the Program Coordinator for a multicounty disaster relief org.
I am ordained Clergy, a Florida Notary, and a Reiki Master/Teacher "specializing" in the needs of the Pagan Community. I am the Senior Fellowship Coordinator for the Sunshine Grove CUUPS. I am also a member of the ADF, Order of the Mithril Star, and the OBOD, just to name a few.
I enjoy spending time fixin' up my little piece of Peace, the Redwolfn'Racer Acre, my non-traditional rescue, and spending time with my family, which includes my fantastic Fawn Dobie Krähe, my Dalmatian Lili, and my two Wolfdogs Cheyenne and Kiba. I am currently a member of several animal rescue and animal rights organizations along with a few Eco-Activist groups, Civil Rights organizations, and a very strict vegetarian, I can't really say vegan because I love honey and an occasional peppermint frap from Starbucks.
I also enjoy photographing, documenting, and preserving historic cemeteries. Along with a fellow Taphophile, co-founded the International Association of Cemetery Preservationists, Inc (one dark and stormy night in Savahanna, just kidding but it was during a trip to Savahanna).
And YES, I'm involved in the BDSM community (Ya'all know me there as lil).
I am a very complex, enigmatic person although I try not to be and by all means usually don't admit it :-) I am an honest person to the point of brutal, I'm the kind of person that if you really don't want my opinion, don't ask.
I've been called intense, complicated, surreal, etc. I may be those things, I don't know, I can tell you I'm real, as real as real gets. I hold very high expectations of myself which project to my surroundings so at times I seem very demanding...either all or nothing kind of person. I'm a confident person but not to the point of arrogant, I'm actually very humble but not to the point of weak. I'm expressive and creative and speak at times through the music I listen to. I'm old school 80s child through and through...with that comes the BDSM lifestyle and slight lack of certain inhibitions. I'm not a "player" as I do enjoy a monogamous relationship but will never place a boundary or conditions on love or the idea of love. I'm as open minded as they come...I completely believe that to each their own but leave me to mine. I will never tell anyone theirs is the wrong way. That way may not be the way for me but if its right for you then its the right way.
I'm a Victorian Romantic...Picnics in cemeteries, Balls with Huge Gowns dancing slowly and closely together, quite time just enjoying the midnight moon. I enjoy a night on the town but no more than I enjoy a night in watching a good or not so good movie. And as you already know, I completely enjoy traveling. I love an adventure!!!
I'm a workaholic...again setting high standards for myself. At times I've been called self destructive cause it seems I can become a bit driven but I have a high level of dedication once I'm committed to something or someone for that matter.
I'm a VERY Spiritual person...not religious but spiritual. Again, I believe strongly in what I believe in but would never tell anyone their beliefs were wrong. I'm a traditional Kitchen Witch with Druidic training amongst the billion other things I have studied! I love to learn and experience new things...that whole sense of adventure again :-) I believe humans in the quest for understanding created religion in the beginning of time to explain the unexplainable, so I'm not sure if this makes me a Humanist or a Satanist lol
My dogs mean the world to me, I would give up everything to save just one of them. They are my passion, my heart, my soul. I don't have family and some friends and lovers come and go...my dogs are always here!
My brief history...
Born in Ohio, lived all over the place, my adopted father was a civilian government agent so we never lived anywhere for any length of time and moved alot when I was a child. Being just like my mother, I became a bit of a rebel rouser. Married young, had a son young, got divorced young...Went to school, became a cop. I had a great career until my accident, which left me with a fake hip, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, and a retirement. Thought for awhile I had lost everything but being the person I am....started over again, hence the Phoenix on my back. My medical history is even worse...had cancer when I was but 20-21, ended up having a full radical hysterectomy, losing a small portion of my stomach, my bowel and my small intestines...made it through that and have been in remission ever since. Now its the RSD that plagues my existence. I have good days and I have bad days...bad days will put me in the hospital so I try not to have many of those! I live each day like it could be my last!
