I am here for Dating, Friends and Networking

About Me

Connections each and every one ..that come into our life are meant to leave us with some lesson..whether the lesson is for ourselves or for the other person..is not our decision...yet we should learn to walk away from each journey..no matter how long in our life..with something... i have no doubt i have made a wrong decision or two in my life..i have intentionally and unintentionally hurt some of those close and not so close to me..i have loved,lost,hated-only to arrive and struggle through words like acceptance,unconditional,willingness, and forgiveness..and challenge myself once again to learn and relearn these very same words in very different ways i have cried, laughed, been angry,desired, and been unaccepted and unaccepting..i think in order to experience something to the fullest extent you must know its opposite as well .. im not always sure of the connections i have made and the depth of each one but i have learned to be appreciative, and thankful for what each person in my life has brought me... i welcome all backgrounds,personalities,temperaments,religions,ethnicity,s exual orientations,and genders, that come into MY space here and i thank you for coming into my world and helping me grow and not forget that we are human ... ...life is all about being perfectly imperfect and finding your faults and accepting and working on them...its about helping others along the way ...embrace the differences that make us all who we so beautifully are ...JLG

My Interests

people who can keep it real...dont have time for BS....looking to meet people who arent afraid of diversity ....my friends vary in background, ethnicity, and lifestyle choices and i love each and every one of them for their individualism ... I have learned to be appreciative, thankful and grateful for all i have in life and that life is too short not to laugh with and love those you have in yours to the fullest ...each day is what you make it ,you always have a choice and ultimately determine your own idea of success and failure-not everyone else I am independent and confident, with a sense of humor...i know what i want and how to go about accomplishing it ..if you want to walk beside me in my journey then step up to the plate....if your fearful ...step up anyways ...we both could learn something...

I'd like to meet:
