About Me

** Yes, I live in the sticks, but I am free to travel often, and date far afield. Read on... ** So I am a funny, literate, cultured, and intellectually-orien ted woman who lives for her many loving relationships and for another day in this funny and fascinating world. The question is, where are you? I am unaffected, my entitlement-to-grati tude ratio is 1:100, and I judge myself stringently and others with generosity because I am only responsible for me. I can comfortably co-exist with my partner's beliefs, atheist to Orthodox. I have spent the past three years at home helping my family navigate a parent's cancer. Now that my parent has been in remission for over a year, I am ready to date. I love culture (material and otherwise) along with history, language and languages, new ideas, saturated colors, my tribe, and -- above all -- my amazing family. I also enjoy social activism that poses a creative challenge, which landed me in a war zone once. Now I can do what I love anywhere with an internet connection. The surest way to happiness in love is being authentic and undefended. I have a nuisance health problem that won't affect my long term outlook, but that makes maintaining a highly energetic lifestyle difficult. So no to a life of running in frantic circles, but a big YES to traveIing, hiking, dancing, and loving together. I live well, and I am a lucky woman. The real me is ready to meet the real you who knows what could happen next?
