Basic stuff about me:
I'm a joyful and grateful mama of two awesome kids. I strive to raise responsible, confident, loving and inspired world citizens in them by modeling that to them. The three of us are bilingual in English and Italian, though we prefer Italian (simply because it's more fun!). I have been an entrepreneur for the past 18 years and pray I make a difference. I am compassionate, passionate and fun. Status quos generally irritate me; striving for excellence thrills me.

Basic stuff I am clearly looking for:
You are a man serious about your faith. And I don't mean in a religious or in a dogmatic way, but you believe you were created with a purpose. You are entrepreneurial which makes me assume you are independent, adventurous, or are a high achiever. You are a man's man yet 100% gentleman. You are a man of character which is most evident when the going gets rough. You are highly intelligent but score even higher on your emotional intelligence. And of course you are fun, playful, and love children and animals!

Other stuff about me:
I love meeting people and you will often find me talking to strangers and befriending them. I love Italy and will have a house there one day but I would never live there full time (again). I'm Chinese but I've never been to China, don't speak Chinese or cook authentic Chinese food. I love animals and I won't eat them. I don't eat sugar; I have enough energy. I'm a foodie and love to cook and experiment in the kitchen. I love spicy food. I love to learn and will never stop. I'm not super athletic but I'm very active & fit, and get most of my exercise chasing and wrestling my kids. I do love weight lifting, mostly for the cause and effect. I'm a night owl.

I strive to make each new day better than the last one. I don't mean this in a Hallmarky way. I am negatively motivated by my fear of not reaching my potential.

I'm very creative, hands-on, a problem solver, extremely resourceful, and though I'm independent, I'm also a great team player. I am creatively intelligent, I don't even see the box, I'm a great communicator, my male friends tell me I am more logical than emotional, and I can hold my own in nearly any conversation. My favorite thing to be good at is connecting with people, regardless of their background.

My smile and my energy.

My favorite musical artists are Norah Jones, Jack Johnson, Jovanotti, Elisa, Fine Frenzy..but I'm pretty eclectic with my musical taste. My most recent favorite read (to myself) was Outliers, and (with my kids) Chronicles of Narnia. I love ballet but love flamenco even more so. I'd love to see all the Cirque du Soleil shows.

I am a film geek and have watched multiple films in a day (that was pre-kids :D).

I love art, and pretty much anything else that inspires me. I'd watch any championship game even if I don't follow that sport just to celebrate their excellence.

I love foods from around the world and this may be the order of my preference: Ethiopian, Chinese, Indian, Thai, Mexican, Vietnamese, Lebanese. Actually, the spicier it is the better.

God, my babies, my purpose, eating healthy, inspiration, and "the one".

Ask me...

Entertaining people at my home with my kids is probably the most typical...I love cooking for people. Yet, I'm super spontaneous and always up for an adventure!
