Livin My Life Like It's GOLDEN

About Me


FREE Backgrounds
I am blessed!Life is sweet.Learning from mistakes and trusting. Healthy and happy! I am a little "New Adventures of Old Christine" And a little "Must Love Dogs." With a lot of unique ME in there. Born in Dallas, TX. Grew up in Garland. Lived in Dallas the last 18 years. I am ready to leave the hometown and live elsewhere.Boston or Oregon or Spain! I am an intuitive person. We all are, but I listen to my gut and follow my heart. When God whispers I usually listen and don't wait around for a brick to drop on my head.I have a son that is 11 and is an enormous motivation to me everyday. He is exceptional.He is My Reason. I am passionate and love the company of close friends and family. God has blessed me with an open mind, wit and intelligence. And an ability to appreciate my life. As an only child and now a single mom, I do value my rare moments of solitude. Professionally, I am an aesthetician. Making Dallas 'beautifuler' one face at a time. I also make jewelry. I am very excited about my present and my future. Socially, professionally and financially. I also appreciate my present, afterall I created it. Personally, I am single and barely dating. I say barely because I am asked out but I rarely go. I can usually think of something better to do. Making jewelry feeds my wallet, hanging with my son feeds my heart. Laughing with friends never disappoints. Mr Right has yet to come along to show me something better to do. All in good time, I am sure! Mr RightNow shows up sometimes to fill the time. I have a lot to offer a man and require nothing but appreciation. In life I have learned patience and persistence. And that great opportunity does sometimes come with adversity. As, cliche as it sounds, what doesn't kill you really does make you stronger!Thank God for lessons learned.Thank God also to the power of positive thinking and the Laws of Attraction. Those who know me will say I am loyal, blunt, warm, forgiving, witty, sometimes a mystery, clever and of course, beautiful! ;)George not included

I'd like to meet:

My Great Grandmother. I think we would have made great friends in my adulthood. Maya Angelou. Jill Scott. Cleopatra. (What's the secret?) Robin Williams. (To laugh.)Talking animals. Mary Magdelane. Joan of Arc. Bill Clinton. Buddah. OH, wait a minute...was this supposed to be the "what I want in a man" section?.......my bad. I will know when I meet him.Thought I knew once.Thats what I get for thinkin. Maya Angelou says,"When someone shows themselves to you, BELIEVE THEM." (Even when it seems un-freakin-believable.) My man has to be confident to an almost arogant level in public. Much much more humble in private. He has to have smarts. He HAS TO make me laugh. I don't mind if he has children and he must genuinely like my son.He should be career minded but not to a point that he cannot enjoy life. Goals are a must but enjoying the non-monetary blessings in life are priceless! Without those blessings, money and career do not matter.Passion is key.Life is too short. He must have a good heart and not be afraid to show it. And also not be afraid to show some weaknesses. We all have them. He should be Spiritual. No junk food junkies, unless they are looking to be reformed. Enjoys wine. Music. Travel.Must love dogs. :) I will not pretend the physical doesn't matter. It is what initially brings us to someone. He should be almost as handsome as his confident self thinks he is. Race isn't important to me.Tall and strong is a plus. Dark hair. Confidence, warmth, sincerity, itelligence and humor goes a very long way with me. Hit me 'infinity', Jamie. Jamie Foxx @ The ESPY's
