About Me


Thanks for taking the time to check out my page. Now a little about me... I'm passionate about life and try to appreciate whatever moment I'm in at the time. I've crossed paths with some really good people in my lifetime and have learned to treasure the positive, supportive relationships.
I realize that I'm very fortunate... not just because of the obvious everyday things that we sometimes take for granted, but because I'm loved. Truly loved. And because of that, I'm always striving to become a better person. Ok, that's it for now:) Have a great day!!
You Are New York
Cosmopolitan and sophisticated, you enjoy the newest in food, art, and culture. You also appreciate a good amount of grit - and very little shocks you. You're competitive, driven, and very likely to succeed.
What American City Are You?
You Are a Natural Flirt
Believe it or not, you're a really effective flirt.
And you're so good, you hardly notice that you're flirting.
Your attitude and confidence make you a natural flirt.
And the fact that you don't know it is just that more attractive! What Kind of Flirt Are You?

My Interests

Life, good company, good conversation, good food, reading, writing, working out, watching sports, creating new adventures, enjoying old ones, hanging out with family & friends, live music, decorating, traveling, being near water, taking walks, cooking (I'm still working on that one) and my absolute favorite... lighthouses

The Keys to Your Heart
You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.

You'd like for your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you don't need. You just feel like flirting around and playing right now.
