I am a loving, kind-hearted woman who believes in relationships & the value of friendship. My best attributes are my heart and smile, and I'm looking for someone who understands sacrifice, hard work and giving back to the community. I'm not looking for perfection (...I press) but I know the right connection can broaden your minds eye. I enjoy reading (everything), movies ("The Five Heartbeats", "Sleepers") listening to CD's (my favorite is a rain storm) and drawing. I'd like to meet someone that shares the same interests and more. Looking For: My mate has to have a warm heart, the ability to make me laugh and respect/understand a woman's power. He has to be secure in himself, driven but also humble. He must love God.
