I know my value. I am a God created woman, who have gone through alot to stand where I am in my life, surrounded by good friends and family. I'm a caring person, intelligent and open to love. Men: Maturity. Not easily manipulated by beauty. Please Note: I'm highly selective whom I date. My preference is a very intelligent man with a degree. I'm drawn to the strong yet not too silent type, honest and trustworthy. A lover of the God within himself. A King, who knows the value of a good woman and not afraid of the work needed to build a lasting relationship. This gentleman must have what I call a beautiful soul. A overall responsible man who is not afraid of commitment. I disern the vibes (energy) I get from you. Not just how you look or what you say. Hobbies: collecting spices & herbs, tennis, singing, gardening, reading, travel, spending time with family and friends, playing the harp, swimming, bird watching, golfing, roller skating. I am more than willing to take my time in my observation of you. Getting to know someone beyond their looks and words takes time. I hope you are ok with that? I am a professional woman in healthcare leadership, I also own my own company and a beautiful Bernedoodle named Chloe who's 3 years in old and very smart. Turn offs: Any kind of abuse (mental or emotional), liars, thieves, scam artist, foul language, bad hygiene, no sense of direction in life, cheaters, and smokers ( casual or otherwise, kissing a smoker is horrible)
