Way back when, I worked as a corporate executive and had the opportunity to live in various places - St. Louis, Honolulu, Houston, Atlanta, Charlotte and Buenos Aries. Now I offer myself to be of service in a non-profit organization headquartered in Little Rock. I have been generously blessed and have so much to be thankful for! I want to give back now. I'm open, honest, sensitive, intuitive, creative and passionate. You will find me fun loving, young at heart and comfortable in my body. I’m fit and grateful for my excellent health and good genes. I enjoy nature, honor spirit and appreciate good company. The real treasure is inside each of us and I come to our relationship ready to give of myself and my love. I would very much appreciate the opportunity for companionship and long-term commitment. I was married for 5 years (no children), then in a relationship for 8 years (with a black man) that ended 5 years ago. Since then, I have had relationships but they have not been long-term. I have learned a few things along the way about myself. I hope this doesn't sound like a check list or something...I have given this a lot of thought lately. If a relationship doesn't have good, long-term potential, I am not interested...not at this stage in my life. Honesty and communication are so very important and essential for building a foundation of trust, friendship and companionship. I want to share all of me. I am not perfect, and I accept that you are not either. I have a lot to give. I am a very passionate woman, uninhibited with a strong appetite for open-hearted intimacy. When sex leads in a relationship without the proper foundation supporting it, I find it hollow and I will not stay with it. I become very focused on the man in my life ... meaning I like to be with him and must admit that I become very close and maybe a bit too emotionally dependent. I am sensitive and very intuitive. I am at the same time independent, secure and free spirited. I want to see my partner clearly, accept him and love him without illusion. I want to take care of him and look to him for support. I want the same in return. I will not appreciate a man who tries to control me. I am idealistic and romantic...yet, I am not looking to be swept off my feet. I have learned that to endure, romance must transform and translate into unconditional love and commitment. This does not happen automatically. I am not so sure about my ability to do this completely, while I know that it is essential. It is no small task. As partners we must be willing to be vulnerable and committed to grow together. If we live far apart...I am not sure about that and how to cover the miles. It takes investment of time, energy, emotion, care and feeding to build what I long for. I am not really from the South, although I am attached to the warm weather of the South. I was raised in Oklahoma, and went to college and grad school in Missouri. Then I spent 11 years in the multiethnic culture of Hawaii. My mother taught me to accept every one equally and that character is more important than skin color. I am open to a cross cultural relationship.
