My faith, my values, and my principles are central to who I am. Also significant to me are my family and my friends. I am very well educated, successful in my profession, and possess a strong creative sense which nicely balances my analytic mind. I have a variety of interests, but I find that the list never remains static and is happily influenced by the interests of others. I do enjoy the usual things: travel, conversation, dining out, movies, theater, music, window shopping, people watching, sunrises and sunsets. I enjoy evenings out as well as quiet moments at home. At times I can be quite active and adventurous, and at other times more tranquil and reflective. I'm generally open to trying new things, and always appreciate the opportunity to broaden my horizons. I agree with that sage who once said: "it is a day wasted unless you've laughed, unless you've learned something new, and unless you've found something or someone new to love". I regard myself to be an honest, communicative, reliable, and caring person. My ideal match is likely to be a smart, independent, vibrant, active, spiritual, secure lady who is both passionate and compassionate. This special someone will be a lady who enjoys life, loves her family, and cherishes her friends. Commonality of interests is a plus, but so is having some different interests to share and to explore together. I believe that open, honest communication is important, as is mutual respect.
