Have lived a very blessed life.....have traveled many roads to get to the place I am at now. And because of those journeys, I am very happy with who I am and the per I have become. I have learned patience...tolerance..understanding...and forgiveness along the way. Have also learned what it is I want and don't want in my life. I have sacrificed...surrendered....compromised and "settled" for things in the past that were not for my well being. I no longer am willing to do that...nor will I do it. I despise liars and deceivers....and false friends I have no use for. I prefer quality to quanity when it comes to those I allow to be a part of my life. And even tho I allow you to be in my life.....it does not give you the right to take advantage of me or use me for your own peral gain. I am a strong woman...can hold my own in any given situation. I don't NEED a man for anything. If I decide to accept you as a partner...it's because I WANT you here. But that priveledge has to be earned.I have been in chat for several years....have seen all types come and go there. SO if you're a player, I already know your game . I don't put my peral life in view for all to see. What goes on in my life remains private...now...and always. If I wanted the world to know...I'd put up a public bulletin. And just because you don't know something about me... that doesn't mean it didn't happen. And just because you've heard something about me...doesn't mean it did! So before you decide to judge me...I would appreciate you getting to know me first.Always remember....Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolutions!!!!

My Ideal Person Am on the search for my soul mate....if he happens to come along here....then fantastic. But if not...then hopefully will at least have had the opportunity to "meet" some great people here. I know how people can be deceiving, so if this is in your nature....please do not contact me. I am not interested in married or attached individuals....am not looking for a one night stand or "drive thrus". Would like to converse with men who know who and what they are and are not looking for someone to help them figure that out! I KNOW who I am and what it is I want. I am a very independant indiviual who will not compromise on her morals or ethics....so please don't ask. Nor would I ask that of anyone else. Am not here to change others or be changed ! If still interested in getting to know me better, please drop me a line. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I wish you all luck! May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not always understand. May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism. Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there, even when you feel most alone. May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace. May a kind word, a reassuring touch, and a warm smile be yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them. Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending
