| Description | i'm a former ballet dancer and still stay in shape though i don't perform presently. i went to the dance company performance of a friend last night and both she and the director of a folk dance company i formerly worked with for 10 years offered me dancing jobs, so i guess i'm still kicking and looking good. i retired from an almost 30 year career with the social security adminstration july 2002, then began my third career(as a massage therapist) after receiving my new york state massage license in sept 2002. i am licensed to peform swedish massage and shiatsu, but am upgrading my shiatsu skills at the ohashi institute in nyc. i love continuing ed, love learning and being an eternal student. i love life period, but could stand a little slowing down. i feel i'm a little too racey for my own good. i work in an upscale spa on the east side of midtown manhattan and tutor a blind student at the swedish institute for massage therapy. private clients too. i'm also a double reiki-master and certified reflexologist. i've been a buddhist for 32 years (SGI-USA, Nam Myoho Renge Kyo) and have been active on the forefront of this world peace organization from the moment i joined it. it has been a spectacular and challenging ride, enlightenment or bust. but i must say, it has prepared me royally for the david wolfe journey. i was very set up spiritually to "get it" the minute i met him. i am deeply grateful for all that i have and that is, in itself, a source of enormous happiness. |
| Hobbies | theatre going , art/museums, all new age and health-related topics, reading, friendships, i am blessed with many. prefer classical music, opera, jazz. i am considered a gifted artist by those who know me, but my only present outlet for it is decorating greeting cards which i frequently send as expressions of love and encouragement. i re-write the lyrics of popular songs and sing them in amateur venues to celebrate the joy of any occasion that seems appropriate. though i am strictly an amateur, my "talents" in this vein are often requested. it's all a lot of fun. i also loved directing amateur musicals at my old job (see below) which were the highlight of our X-mas parties for many years.

| Goals | building my massage business. more travel. teaching (health related topics and perhaps dance.) choreography. i'm not the fade away in an arm chair type. i have a youthful look and a youthful spirit. i intend to keep them and i work at that daily. i believe life presents with new challenges as you are ready to receive them. who, after all, really can predict what the future will reveal or how their dreams may be altered in a split-second? so, as far as goals go, i'm open to the unknown. |
| Quote | "suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. regard both joy and suffering as facts of life and keep chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo no matter what happens. then you will expeience boundless joy from the Law." Nichiren Daishonin's Collected Writings |
| Ideal Mate | he's gay. he's into monogamy and is healthy, physically uncontagious and financially solid, as i am. he's emotionally mature, available and understands reciprocity. he knows who he is and is grounded. he's not loud and he's kind to me, treats me like a jewel and that's what he can expect too. no kidding. kindness and sincerity are two of the things i value most in a person. i'm not screwed up and i don't operate from that kind of energy. mature discussions, prayer, or whatever it takes to work out differences and crises, but no low life stuff. i've had my fill of it. keep it clean and above board. i'm not secretive and i don't like operating in the dark with someone who isn't honest and up front. but, imagine, i can also be lighthearted and funny and breezy, though i am, perhaps, a bit too serious. i'm working on it. i have a philosophical and psychological way of seeing things. i'm generous with my love and affection and i need that in my beloved. if you and your partner don't treat each other with beauty and consideration, what's the point? i've had a lot of false starts in love (my one final frontier) and am a bit weary from all of them, but will never accept defeat. ultimately, i know i'll find what i need. i have total confidence in that. he must repect my buddhist practice. i will respect his religious affiliation, if he has one. i think a lot of freedom to connect with the divine in one's own way is really important. is there anyone out there who can relate to all of this? wouldn't that be nice............! oh, and i'm never verbose, no, never. |
