writing,reading, walking,running, cooking, good dreams, wishing on stars, telling stories, mentoring and encouraging, church, dance, music,
travel, silly love songs, singing while others hide,movies, the look of a child's face, movies that have you on the edge of your seat,laughing a LOT, great smiles, bright eyes, reading faces, cooking when I have the time to linger over it, beaches, cruising, cuddles by the fire, starry summer nights
First and foremost, just good, honest people with a bit of a good edge. I like good conversation that is more than just "thanks for the add"... or "hey". If you are passionate about the things in life that mean a lot to you, if you are not afraid to believe deeply and talk about it, if you live without those damned walls up (I know we all have them, but it is great to get the sledge-hammer out and go to town on it!!!). It is all good - the walls limit us not protect us (ok - that is my lesson for the day)... Hmm.. fun is important - the dorky, not-afraid-to-laugh-till-you-can't-breathe kind... WEll friends if you are some of, all of, or wanna be any of the above.. write and say ""hi... " followed by.... something - lol :) All fellow Christians are very warmly welcomed also, but if you are not a Christian, that is ok too.. say hi anyhow.
People that believe that Jesus is the only way.. and people who don't believe.. I am attracted to faces with confidence and that show love and have a twinkle in the eye... oh yeah... I have a thing for great eyes... let me look deep and hard.... let me discover the depths of who you are.. I love to dig down and rummage through all the layers of who you are.
Someone who has a passion for God and knows how awesome it is to pursue that relationship with Him.. That it is not about rules or fear, but about love and truth and complete satisfaction.
If you are looking for your other half.... well I am not it.. sorry but I am whole by the Grace of God and think that a relationship is about enhancing each other, NOT completing each other.
Dont be scared... write me a line and let me know how you are!

sharing life stories learning from our past positive attitudes

I have 4 kids.. so they keep me busy, but I love to travel when I can, I work out, love long walks, good movies, reading, music from classic rock, Christian, classical, dance, latin... the list is long so i will stop there...
I love learning and knowing something thoroughly then moving on to the next subject (usually something a little off-center)..
I go to church and it is a big and very important part of my life. God has shown me great grace and lavishes His love on me daily... ask me about it... I'll tell you!!! :)
On top of that, I could just say that.. well.. I am a lot of fun with a quick wit, great sense of humor and love great conversation.. I am not someone who likes superficial conversation.. let me dig deep and find the nuggets of beauty that are inside... it is like finding a little treasure when you get there..........
MUSIC
chicita likes to rock, dance, worship, listen to country rock, workout to music that makes me dance... my fave though is the old rock.. still cant get enough of it...
BOOKS
I looooooove to read.. Way too many books to list but from fiction, to Christian learning to biographies, poetry and informational, I just love to read but never have enough time to read as much as I would like.
The Keys to Your Heart
You are attracted to good manners and elegance.
In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.
You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.
Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.
You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.
In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.
You:
are an angel. You know that I am not looking for intimacy. You have eyes that captivate and hold me. You are within a couple of years of my age (I am not looking for a boy toy)and full of laughter. We can talk for hours just because AND You make time for me.. no matter how busy - I never feel brushed aside even if you do need to rush off the phone or away from me. You let me know that you cherish every minute that we have together - even the ones that are tougher.. there is chemistry through the roof and you take pleasure in everything about me as I do in you. You are very intelligent and have a to-die-for sense of humour. You have faith and believe that God longs to bless your life. You are not afraid of falling head over heels in love and you believe in fairytales. You are a great communicator and giggle like a schoolboy when watching a funny movie. You open my door and love the way I long to always touch your hair, hand, face. You long to sleep with me tucked in your arms holding me through the night.. kissing my head as we turn.. smiling when we wake up. You are compassionate and kind. You CARE for those around you. You have manners and are confident and self-assured (but not arrogant). You are stubborn (to match my own hopefully) and love my testa dura. You seek a diamond in a heart, you will find that treasure in me. You know and honour that intimacy is only in a serious relationship where love exists first.. probably marriage. In the meantime, you love to kiss for hours and love the intimacy of a beautiful kiss. You can banter, are cute, funny, sweet, warm and able to handle me. Is this you? I would love to hear from you. If this is not you, than bless you in your search and I hope that you find all that you are looking for!
Me....
I am fiery, passionate, fun and energetic. Deep yet silly at times, very serious in my Christian faith but also love living and enjoying life (without compromising my values). I love being in love and all the beauty that comes with that. I take my time. Don't think I will meet you for a coffee to see if there is chemistry. I think differently about dating in that I think we should date someone AFTER we know them as much as we can and see that we truly enjoy each other. I love God, my kids and like my job. I am a very optimistic person that enjoys laughing at the silly, crying with the broken hearted and the quiet, full moments that you get with you who I am in love with. I have a kind and sometimes nurturing spirit - other times I am just dorky. I am quirky and very comfortable with who I am. I have no emotional baggage and don't want anyone who is that way at all, please. I am not looking for someone to complete me nor be my other half. I am whole in and of myself and am looking for a person that I will enhance and that will enhance my personality. We make each other shine You know who you are. Don't be afraid to try it. I love to dream together sing together.. sing silly love songs with / to me. (although I am pretty particular with the love songs that I like.)
My ideal relationship:
treasure me and I will treasure you. Let me know that I can trust you with all of who I am and that you will not break my precious heart. I will never hurt yours. I like communication and thoughtfulness. Sitting quietly or out and about, being serious or silly, I just want to truly desire to be with that man. I want to have a fully in love (both of us) relationship... I have been so blessed in having taste of true love and I will not settle for less. I know it is out there... come on now... where are you? Don't be afraid to fall in love with me.. I don't bite.
My past relationships have taught me not to ever settle for less than my heart desires and that true love is beautiful beyond words. I now know that there are men that will honour me and treasure me. That a truly good man can love me with all of his heart. That it is the most amazing thing in the world to wake up in the morning, stretch and smile before I open my eyes and know that he is smiling thinking of me. To let God lead. Call me your angel.
Quick note. As I believe that the best relationships always are formed on the foundation of a strong friendship, I am looking for friends only at this point. It would take a lot for me to want to move forward with more than that. I go slow...
TURN OFF'S
"Hey Babe" just does not do it for me as an introductory email. If that is all you can find to say, no offense to you, but we are probably not for each other as I am really looking for great communication as part of my friendships and relationships.
Please don't tell me that God told me that I am the one for you.. I am sure that He would tell me too.
What I DON'T want is to meet you for a coffee.
a - I don't drink it
b - what an impersonal and cold place to meet someone
How about a walk, or dinner, or ice cream? How about at the gym, at church, anywhere but for a freaking coffee!
I am fiery, passionate, fun and energetic. Deep yet silly at times, very serious in my Christian faith but also love living and enjoying life and do so while being completely in love with and honouring God and His perfect ways for us. I love being in love and all the beauty that comes with that. I know that love.. the one that God has for us, is worth waiting for and I take my time. Don't think I will meet you for a coffee to see if there is chemistry. I think differently about dating in that I think we should date someone AFTER we know them as much as we can and see that we truly enjoy each other. I love God, my kids and like my job.I LOVE to write.. It is my passion, my therapy and my outlet.. My writing is not for everyone, but if you want to know, see, explore my heart, it is in my poetry that you will find it.
I am a very optimistic person that enjoys laughing at the silly, crying with the broken hearted and the quiet, full moments that you get with you who I am in love with.

I have no emotional baggage and don't want anyone who is that way at all, please. I am not looking for someone to complete me nor be my other half. I am whole in and of myself (thanks to God's mercy and love) and am waiting for the person that I will enhance and that will enhance my personality. We make each other shine. You know who you are. Don't be afraid to try it. I love to dream together sing together.. sing silly love songs with / to me. (although I am pretty particular with the love songs that I like.)
Just a note to any guys that may be interested.. first of all... I am not looking. I have tasted deeply of true love in my life and know that it will be here again for me someday, but I will not settle for meeting, dating and broken hearts before that time. I may never have it again, but the beauty that God gifted me with in it probably could last me a lifetime in the treasure that it has been and still is for me. How can one find perfection more than once?
I will sit and trust in God and let myself grow spiritually and as a person. I am not looking for my other half for I am whole in who I am... I am not the one who is going to complete you, help you find yourself, nor make you whole... I am witty and can banter with the best of them.. (my flirtatious side). I laugh at myself a lot, I am fairly bright, but still pretty gullible at times too (weird, but true).. anyhow - if you are still reading by now - might as well say hi.. :)
Ok... so... I have been asked to list my imperfections... so here they are: way too many freckles, a quick temper (but it makes my kids laugh at how fast it comes and goes so I guess it is not that bad).. I am sooooooo impatient!!!! I HATE rude behaviour, I am opinionated, can be Ummmm... well ok - I have to be honest (ugh!) but can be dramatic at times (but if you ask me, it is all a matter of perception - some people like to be "animated" and full of "character").. um... I always have to have my toenails painted - now, some may say that is a good thing, but I am like obsessive about it - I like pretty feet and it made me crazy to go to the hospital last year for kidney stones and have a chip on my toes.. honest to God, I sat there on IV with morphine or demerol and all I could think was "Oh my gosh!!! Why can't my daughter find the right colour!!!" I was stressed. The no make up was fine, major bad hair days all in a row was fine, but the chip on the nail was... a nightmare. (ahahahah sad, isn't it? but true)... I will stop in the middle of the street to pray with someone if they need it (not a fault at all, but not well-received by all either)... I am spontaneous, impetuous, energetic and forward driven. Not everyone likes that either. Ok - I can't think of any more at the moment - oh yeah - occasionally forgetful, but the UTStarcom is a great improvement in my life!!! :) Ooooh an addition or two... Hmm I love to dance. A lot. In the hallway, in the car as I drive, in church, on a dance floor with my girlfriends (the whole two times a year I go) and anywhere else my two feet bring me. Thing is.. I am a bit of a spaz.. ok - a lot of a spaz. Oh and if you are looking for perfect, I am not perfect in any way at all - except that I am perfectly comfortable with that. I am very outgoing, but very shy at first.
I truly live for the "moments" that take us off guard.. the ones that are gifts.. sometimes it is mist on a torturously humid day (lol - or deodorant).. sometimes it is the soft touch on your face from one who cares.. sometimes it is a small child's hand reaching up and slipping into yours bringing warmth all over you.. sometimes it is when you look at a baby (that you dont know) and they just smile at you when your life is melting around you; giving you love when you dont feel lovable.. sometimes it is just sitting quitely by the lake and watching the moon and the stars dance on the water.. hearing the birds sing their songs of delight as you walk by them telling you that spring is here and that they are back for the next 7 months.. sometimes it is that look in the eyes with the one who loves you for all of who you are... sometimes it is knowing that there are angels all around us and a God that loves us enough to keep them there for us...
I also live to know people that are true to their heart. The ones that have let their own walls come down despite the risks and follow the leading of the whispers in their soul... These are the friends that I love to meet.
