I am a sensitive, affectionate, spiritual, easy-going, responsible, hopeful romantic. I enjoy doing my passion in paradise-massage therapy, art (painting, illustrating, and jewelry making), and writing/publishing children's stories. I became addicted to the ocean, since I moved to Maui from Feb 2003-July 2011. I love everything about the beaches, weather, and aloha spirit of Hawaii, but I'm happy to be back in Colorado where I grew up. I am an Advanced Open Water Scuba diver, love snorkeling, only surfed a few times, and love sailing and being in/under/on the water. I tried SUP (stand up paddling) and LOVE it now, too! Now that I'm back in the Rockies, I'm looking forward to hiking, camping, and enjoying the outdoor mountain life here. I am not fond of the cold, and cannot see myself enjoying a colder climate. I would consider moving to a warmer climate, though!

I value honesty and good communication. I love meeting and getting to know new people, and like to develop deeper relationships with people. Astrology is another passion I love, and enjoy learning about people and their perceptions. I am looking for someone I can be "all of me" with, and who inspires me to be more of who I choose to be, and whom I can inspire as well. Someone who is complete, yet knowing that there is something magical created when energies combine.

I am mystical, optimistic, and inspired/inspiring

I am back in CO as of July 2011, so settling into the Rockies instead of the Maui Paradise I just left :) I also just became a preschool teacher and am loving it. So this portion of the profile is written in reverse order...with most recent events first.

I am a single mom with a beautiful baby girl born November 2008. I am very happy with this new addition and journey of motherhood. I'm returning to school for Early Childhood Education and love working with kids as a job! :) I'm even pursuing Waldorf Teacher Training. I just discovered Waldorf schools, and they are simply amazing! I am thoroughly enjoying Anthroposophy and all the amazing contributions Rudolph Steiner contributed to society. Very inspiring! And now I get paid to play with kids for a full time job (well, more than just that...but that is the best part!)! I am currently a Preschool Teacher. I also spend my free time "crafting" Waldorf toys, such as Waldorf dolls, felt food, wooden dolls, and anything else I learn about! My daughter loves "helping" and especially playing with the results.

I love hanging out, dancing (swing: lindy hop, blues, balboa; tango,salsa; hula, and some other partner dancing), and great conversations. I believe that reality is only perception and you create your experiences. I have traveled internationally, and have many more places on my list of places to go someday... I would love to go back to Italy someday, and Greece and Australia/New Zealand are on my places to go; as well as anywhere else that seems inspiring at the time when the opportunity presents itself. I believe Life is an extraordinary adventure, and would love to explore it together!! I just learned about an amazing community in Italy, Damanhur. This is the kind of place I was dreaming of/visioning since moving to Maui. :)

Astrology, massage, energy work/healing arts, finding the meaning/higher purpose in things, going with the flow, art, meditating, writing, partner dancing, learning/growing/evolving consciously, being a mommy, working with kids, enjoying life, living as green as I can, making things, being healthy and making healthy choices; thinking of creative projects and fun things to do with the kids daily :)

I am very honest and open, in a gentle, subtle way. I love astrology and spiritual conversations. I am VERY open/broad-minded.

Shows: Don't have cable now, but go to watch shows my mom records on her DVR, so they include: Touch (amazing for anyone who hasn't seen it!), Once Upon a Time, and The Big Bang Theory (if I want to laugh...seriously one of the funniest shows I've seen before). In the past enjoyed Sliders, Quantum Leap, The Pretender, Lost, Medium, X files, and any comedy show featuring Brian Regan.

Food: Well, I eat pretty healthy. I like whole foods (not the store), sushi, seafood, salads, veggies, fruit and some meat. :) I LOVE my vitamix!

A sense of purpose in my life; love/hope/faith; 'ohana (family and "spiritual family", especially my daughter now); creativity; consciousness; water/food/air; warm weather...moving beyond limitations, such as SIX things...hehe.

What I am manifesting in my life and why.

Astrology, and how it fits into things/explains and gives me clarity, compassion, understanding, or consciousness to choose something else.

Why I'm "here", what I'm doing, why I'm doing it, where I'm going, how I'm getting there, and where my next adventure is leading me...

Evolution of consciousness, anthroposiphical ideas as well as how to create more conscious and sustainable communities, like Damanhur.

How to be more involved with like-minded people and volunteer more, like at Mile Hi church (very non-traditional if you want to see the kind of church I attend).

How to take better care of the Earth (growing plants, recycling, vermicomposting, learning to garden, etc) and teach my daughter the importance of caring for our planet.

What I have planned for preschool that day, week, and month.

How to include more healing/holistic medicine into my life and massage practice.

My daughter and what is best for her.

Depends on the Friday. I love going dancing: Swing, Tango and Blues, but not usually on a Friday. Whatever I feel inspired to do (and have the energy for after a week of kids and massage!)...

I had my spiritual awakening when I was 17 and hospitalized twice for depression. When I read Conversations With God and realized I AM RESPONSIBLE for my reality, I began consciously creating Heaven instead of Hell...and have been living that way ever since! :)

Any of this resonates with you.

You like deep, intriguing conversations.

I have confused you and you desire clarity.

You are like-minded and feel inspired to! :)

You like astrology or anthroposophy, spirituality, philosophical conversations, sustainability or anything else I wrote about.

You are a great cook and/or have a green thumb :)

You want to help me with my gardening skills or want some worms or compost :)

You love traveling and want to talk about amazing trips you've been on and possibly planning some for the future, too.

You actually read all of this! :) You get a gold star for reading it all! (maybe an etheric or astral one...you choose!)
