I'm an insatiably curious person, curious about the experiences of other people, events, history, the world political scene. I am generally socially fearless, friendly and flexible in the ways that I communicate. I love to talk, explore ideas, argue, challenge and laugh with great frequency. I am unconventional in many ways. I am very adventurous and a risk taker in many situations but never at the expense of others. I believe in the imperative of kindness and generosity toward others regardless of their status in life. At the same time, I love sarcasm, humor and express myself with a "full palette."

I am recovering--if that is the word--from a marital separation so I am in untested waters. I am not ready to think about long term relationships, but I am interested in dating and I am always interested in friendships.

I am a healtcare consultant and have worked in hospital environments all of my career.

I am a dedicated fitnesss person and I work out 4-5 times a week.

I am trying to allow a sense of "duende" to awaken in my life, while reading Pema Chadron just in case...

Listening, asking questions, finding out about things, crossing boundaries, being loyal, being a friend, thinking independently, having your back, keeping confidences, resonating with music (I come from a very musical family), dancing and crossword puzzles

My smile, my friendliness, my voice, my energy, and that I will talk to just about anyone.

Music, books, compassion, sexuality, my children, my friends

world political events, certain historical eras, myself (at least now), my friendships and my relationships with others
