Love knows no color to me.

Over the years, I learned how to fend for myself, so "yes" in that way I am independent. However, I understand that I need a strong, responsible, and loving man in my life to fully be the person that I want to be. It is important to me for my man to be able to provide stability and security in the relationship, and treat me as a woman. My first priorities are my house and my financial and physical health, and I feel that it is my responsibility for their upkeep.

It was never my intention to be Ms. Independent. Ms. "I don't need a man because I can do whatever they can do." As I set out on my own, my intention was to prove to my parents and the church that I could survive on a different path than the one they wished for me to follow.

I learned about myself on my journey and discovered my entrepreneurial spirit and talent for problem-solving. By establishing a personal walk with God and allowing Him to direct my path, I haven't just survived - I have thrived. I have opened and sold a business and obtained a college degree. I have relocated to the big city, and bought my first house. I am happily trying to accomplish some big personal goals.

I sacrificed a comfortable salary in order to relocate to a city with greater opportunities than the one that I left. So, this year my goal is to make up that loss of income by obtaining a fulfilling career that pays well. I miss treating myself and treating others. I miss travel, and shopping therapy :)

I'm a jack of all trades. I love to compete, if there's a challenge somewhere you can best believe I'm in the middle of it. I may not win, but most times it's just about the exhilleration of the chase.

Athletically, I like to run, walk, I love Zumba, kickboxing (aerobic), and weightlifting.

Is my smile. Strangers usually think that I am smiling at them, but I find a lot of things amusing. My smile is just easy to come by.

Ask me later because the faves are always changing.

1. I must have God in my life.
2. I am close to my parents.
3. I am lost without my circle of a few close friends.
4. An hour or two of peace and quiet.
5. Something to do on the weekends.
6. A plan.

Mexico
Getting off of work
Winning the lottery...sometimes ;)

Shrugging off a week of work and going to dance my face off :)

I could survive a zombie apocalypse.

I piqué your interest.

I'm just not interested in trying to strike up a long distance relationship. Thank you.
