I am full of contradictions.....but in a good way. I teach for a living and imparting knowledge and wisdom on others gives me so much happiness and purpose. But, I also love learning and being a student allows me to stay grounded and continue to explore and understand new ideas and concepts. I am passionate about learning, growing and evolving every day. I am very independent and self-reliant. I take pride in the fact that I can take care of myself and my family very well. But, I have that feminine side of me that just loves to be pampered and treated like a lady. I love to go dancing, to concerts or movies and enjoy good food, good wine and great company. But, there are times when nothing sounds better then staying in and relaxing at home. I love being a mom and spending time with my beautiful 13 year-old daughter. I have lived long enough to know who I really am and what I really want out of life. I have good family values and in a relationship I am loyal, loving and affectionate and I am looking for the same in a partner. Someone who wants love, laughter, passion, new adventures, stimulating conversations, amazing chemistry and a strong connection.Like I said, I am full of contradictions. Or maybe.....just the best of both worlds.
