I'd like to meet:

Someone who gives me that "Butterfly" feeling in my stomach, makes me laugh, is kind, loving and gentle & treats me like a "Queen" & in turn, he'll be my "King" .... a man who takes his time with me & lets me be me, loving life & feeling free! ... actually the man I choose to fall in love with will be the "icing" on my already fullfilled life and he will make me feel the following way ...

Hosted by Sparkle TagsI have dated since my split ... BUT .. for the first year of the separation, I dated no one, then after a year I started dating ... BUT ran into individuals who just were not the right one for me ... SOOOOOO I decided to take break from any dating (my choice) for the ENTIRE year of 2005 ... I took some time & did alot of soul searching .... I worked on learning to "Love Myself" unconditionally and this was a very important time in my life, time for just me, myself & I *Smile*
Hosted by Sparkle Tags ... Cause going through a divorce is no picnic and no I am not looking for Mr. Perfect, b/c I'm no Ms. Perfect either ...SOOOOOOOOO .... I am looking for that special someone who makes my heart sing!!! ... *Smile*!!! .... we'll need to first start out as friends, see just how compatible we are with each other ... have FUN together ... AND ... take our time ... S-L-O-W-L-Y... having fun and enjoying life, sharing times together, as well as separately .. Maybe Mr. Right for me is out there ... and well, maybe not ... but irregardless, I'm not looking ... if it's meant to be it'll happen ... and meanwhile ... I'm just enjoying life to the MAX, as indeed it'll take a very *Special* MAN to win my heart, for sure!!! Peace @----

Books:

I am interested in all kinds of topics, especially reading God's word, the Bible & poetry ranks up high on my list, too ... in fact I have to put my very favorite poem in this section right here ... PHENOMENAL WOMAN-That's "Me"!!! ... *Smile*
Hosted by Sparkle TagsPHENOMENAL WOMAN by Maya Angelou ....Pretty women wonder where my secret lies ... I'm not cute or built to suit a model's fashion size ... But when I start to tell them ... They think I'm telling lies... I say... It's in the reach of my arms... The span of my hips ... The stride of my steps ... The curl of my lips... I'm a woman... Phenomenally.. Phenomenal woman... That's me...I walk into a room... Just as cool as you please... And to a man... The fellows stand or ... Fall down on their knees... Then they swarm around me... A hive of honey bees... I say ... It's the fire in my eyes ... And the flash of my teeth ... The swing of my waist... And the joy in my feet... I'm a woman ... Phenomenally ... Phenomenal woman ... That's me...Men themselves have wondered... What they see in me... They try so much ... But they can't touch ... My inner mystery... When I try to show them ... They say they still can't see... I say... It's in the arch of my back... The sun of my smile ... The ride of my breasts ... The grace of my style... I'm a woman... Phenomenally ... Phenomenal woman ... That's me...Now you understand ... Just why my head's not bowed ... I don't shout or jump about ... Or have to talk real loud ... When you see me passing ... It ought to make you proud... I say... It's in the click of my heels... The bend of my hair ... The palm of my hand ... The need for my care... 'Cause I'm a woman ... Phenomenally ... Phenomenal woman ... That's me...

God, My father, Women in Transition, Women Against Abuse Legal Center,My (3) daughters who stayed strong & positive during these tough times with the separation/divorce, (ya know I did this for you girls as well as myself) I didn't want ya's growing up thinking this is the way a husband should ever treat his wife/family! Below is a slideshow from WIT's fundraiser @ TenThousandVillages - Christmas 2006 - see if you can find me : ) Never grow a wishbone daughter, where your backbone ought to be!!! ~ Clementine Paddleford" ... The strength of a MAN ... The strength of a man isn't seen in the width of his shoulders. It's seen in the width of his arms that circle you ....... The strength of a man isn't in the deep tone of his voice. It's in the gentle words he whispers ........ The strength of a man isn't how many buddies he has. It's how good a buddy he is with his kids........ The strength of a man isn't in how respected he is at work. It's in how respected he is at home ........ The strength of a man isn't in how hard he hits. It's in how tender he touches........ The strength of a man isn't in the hair on his chest. It's in his Heart... that lies within his chest........ The strength of a man isn't how many women he's loved. It's in how he can be true to one woman ........The strength of a man isn't in the weight he can lift.It's in the burdens he can carry........... AND just HAVE to share the following poem "Caged Bird", this describes the difference between being free of abuse and being trapped in an abusive relationship ...
