Hi there,
I am someone for whom it is important to see the positives in things. I like to look at the silver lining. I am open minded, I like to try new things, I'm good a listening not only to what is said but to what is not said. I'm pretty intuitive as well.

Living a purposeful life is important to me and I want to play an active role in making things better.

That's why I decided 2 years ago to return to University to do a master's degree in planning and community development. Luckily I also got a scholarship...

I am looking for a partner who is left of centre politically, like me, I know you are out there. I'd like to have someone to share thoughts and laughs - someone who also shares my understanding that everything and everyone is connected.

Keeping fit with a regular yoga practice, eating well, having a few drinks while cooking for/with friends, people who have interesting things to talk about, are all important to me - I am well coordinated, I can swim (was a lifeguard as a teenager), I jog, I cycle, I can ski (downhill, X-country, water), I also know how to golf, though I haven't hit the greens in about 20 years.

I am happy living simply - perhaps a vacation here, traveling there, volunteering... eating well, laughing...

I love the visual arts, books, music, dance, and the movies- being an independent experimental filmmaker myself.

Et je parle français, C'est ma langue maternelle. J'ai grandi au Québec.

I will welcome your children, and your dogs or cats, even though I am allergic.

I like long walks in the warm wind, and I especially like being out in snow blizzards...

I am finishing my thesis right now, hoping to have that done by September and then job, and then you? or perhaps you and then job?

I'm also looking forward to get back into making short experimental films, something I did before returning to school.

I also belong to a couple of groups working for social justice.
Is that important to you?

Seeing the big picture...

I've been told that people notice my laugh. It's pretty distinctive.

So many and I like them all for different reasons. I have pretty eclectic tastes...

yoga
a good night's sleep
good wine/scotch/tequila
time by myself - to dream, work things through, experiment, or just veg out
music
laughter
good exchange of ideas
Did I mention yoga?

how to make the world a better place. I know that's a tall order.
So I break it down into smaller more manageable bits -
like doing small things for others.

if you are open-minded and energetic
if you love to laugh
if you like to share ideas about political issues
if you can talk about your emotions in a constructive way
if you have both feet on the ground but are also able to dream and wonder
if you are a gentle soul
if you are confident in your knowledge of self
if you have come through pain and can now laugh and appreciate the ironies that life presents to us
Let's talk...
