I am a busy professional and mom in Kzoo area. I am looking for someone to be active with--Are you up for making some memories?
Ive been divorced for 5 years now and the time has been great for me as a person. I have become independent and comfortable with my strengths, qualities and weaknesses. I have grown emotionally, intellectually, and socially. I have dated a bit and have met some really fabulous people. I have had some great experiences that I will never forget. That said, I am still looking for the ONE who captures my attention, respect, and adoration every day.
I am someone who Is pretty independent. I believe in the ability of all people-women and men- to be capable of standing on their own. That way, when they find someone to love, they are together because they want to be and not because they need to be. I consider myself a feminist. This does not mean I will berate you or be offended when you open the door or insist on paying the bill. Just don't be offended when I return the favor.
I am a very low maintenance girl. While I can definitely get dressed up, and enjoy feeling beautiful and sexy; my true self shines most in very modest and rustic situations. See Costa Rica pics...truly the most influential and spiritual journey of my life.
Ive got 2 boys, 8 and 5. I am a full time single mom as well as a full time health care professional. I take both jobs pretty seriously and it does take up a significant amount of my time. I am striving to create some needed balance in my life. I am looking for someone that can keep up with me running, biking, or any other physical activity of your choice. Someone who is able to hold an intelligent conversation about world events, a great TV show/ movie or music. And someone emotionally confident enough to express feelings that can be painful or joyous. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I don't want to dig though layers of shame, guilt, fear to uncover yours. I love a man that is strong enough to cry/laugh/be completely humble and gracious.
My sense of humor can be a little crass at times. After all, I am a health care professional. Being this way is a occupational hazard I am afraid. I will attempt to curtail my discussions or experiences at the dinner table, at least for the first few dates. I deliver babies and do routine gynecological care. So really, you need to remind me if I am sharing too much ;) If you turn a nice shade of green/gray...I actually may not even notice...so you really need to speak up. I try not to answer my pages in front of you.
Music is a huge part of my life and going to live music venues to dance is one of my favorite escapes. Im a child of the 90s so grunge and alternative are in my veins. Favs include U2, Pearl Jam, the Cure and INXS. I also love classic rock (Not hair bands or Eagles--blah) but a great Tom Petty, Janice Joplin, Steve Miller and Blondie do the trick. I can boogie to some funk, Motown--grew up in Detroit; and James Taylor is my lifetime hero. New stuff like Evanescence, Pink and Fiona Apple have made their way onto my most played lists.
I am a very versatile and curious person. I love the diversity of life: food, friends, culture, relationships, experiences, emotions etc. Id love to find someone who feels the same for the next chapter in my life. Shoot me a message, Id love to hear your story!
