Feminine, intelligent and kind lady with a fun spirit. Chilled but passionate, craving excitement and adventure but still loving the simple things like a hike on Mt Tam or reading a good book. I prefer spicy to mild, the mountains to the ocean, pinot to beer.

I like to ski, hike, run, dig in the dirt (garden), make jewelry and I'll pretty much try anything once!...I've "flown" off a mountain on a parachute, been diving on the Great Barrier Reef, swam with sharks and once caught a 150lb sailfish!

What's your story? What are your pet-peeves and what makes you weak in the knees from joy and happiness?

Living in the moment. Practicing gratitude. Laughing on a regular basis. Enjoying every minute of time I spend with my amazing circle of friends, live music and dancing, great films, time spent outdoors, good locally sourced food, staying active.

Raising a wonderful daughter and participating in my community. As a full-time working, single mom the adage of "it takes a village" becomes a reality!

I'm at a point in my life where I feel empowered by my "life experiences" to be a great partner. I know the secret to happiness is family, community, compassion and giving back. I have a lot to give and want to find a great guy to share the adventure with!

Finding the silver lining!
making complicated things seem simple...
throwing parties (see below)
making martinis :)
sending funny text messages LOLROTF
kissing (you'll have to find out!!)

People always tell me I look "French" ("Bonjour bel homme")
I'm a bit shy at first which can be misinterpreted as standoffish but I'm just a little reserved til I get to know you. ;)

Favorite book...the one I just read! Okay - I just read the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series and loved-loved them!! Steve Jobs bio, Outliers, currently reading Liar's Poker which is great! I also recently finished the epic (750 pages) of The Fountainhead. Howard Rourke are you out there? I love all kinds of music and love to see live shows at small venues.... Some favorites include Mumford & Sons, Michael Franti, 1D (kidding), Lenny Kravitz, REM, Bruuuce!!. I like all types of food...sushi, Mexican and Italian are favorites.
Too many movies to mention...maybe we can compare lists! IMDB is one of my favorite sites!!

Does quantum physics prove reincarnation?
Why does traffic slow...stop...go?? Why can't we just keep moving???!!!

What's around the corner?

Doing something fun! Food, friends, music, movie, watching The Giants play....looking up at the stars....

I can't say it here but it has something to do with a motorcyle!!! :)

You are a guy with a sense of humor, honest, family oriented, affectionate, and fun to be with....
