I am sweet, thoughtful, kind, intelligent, and have a great sense of humor. I am very easy going and laid back. I am often told that I am very easy to talk with. Having past events shape your life is one thing, carrying the past as a burden that sits heavily upon your shoulders is not the way I view life.

Imagine that you are celebrating your twentieth anniversary as you reflect on all this. And it just keeps getting better--all of it--the physical, the emotional, the spiritual, the family. Do you like going for walks in the warm sand--without shoes, without your purse--along the beach in the tropics? Have you considered exploring new and intriguing possibilities--yoga, SCUBA, completing a triathlon, repelling a cliff, rafting a river, recording a song, learning a language, writing a book, traveling, cooking together, walking hand in hand,
