I'm an INFJ, through and through. Still waters run deep... I'm a 6'1" romantic, INFJ, Catholic lady, almost through remaking herself a third time... Focused, self-directed, full of optimism, love and wonder, I've downsized and moved to Maine for a simpler new life. Highly expressive, artistic and creative, I'm a sweet and sensitive, curious and analytical intuitive-introvert -- a meaning-seeking learner with an engineer's mind, who's a bit of a homebody... (authentic, and not at all shy). I seek knowledge, truth and love: beauty in people, relationships and life. Balancing out a partly-deep and serious side, you may find me, like a daisy: casual, unpretentious, genuine, youthful and playful (and very hard to surprise)... I'm a wholesome mix of parent (to myself), adult and child, fully human and fully alive. Integrity and faith are my compass. My interests are interpersonal communication and design.

for fun:

Love beautiful environments/greenscapes: a walk in the woods, an intimate paddle, my home; jaunts to fairs, festivals, dog shows & seminars, arborteums/nurseries; reading/learning; writing/sharing; dreaming; most of all sharing life with my other.

my job:

A mid-life divorce revealed business was wrong for this beauty-, values-, people-oriented unique creature. A forever learner, believing in needed time for shared dreams & life with my special other, if I remain single I'll probably take classes..

my ethnicity:

I'm half German & it probably shows in how I like things orderly - "... everything in its place" (although I can be messy!) - & well made (I enjoy quality). I can be detail-oriented, but really hate details! They overwhelm, stress & burden me...

my religion:

Friends tell me I'm very Catholic... I'd hope my other to be graced with a similar gift of Catholic faith. Sharing this integral dimension of my life is very important to me.

my education:

Mid-life career testing revealed talents for psychology & landscape design. Divorcing, the latter didn't seem to hold enough purpose for my life; classes led to interpersonal communication/conflict management -- healthy relationships -- a passion.

favorite hot spots:

My new digs! There're so many quaint towns, back roads, paths, lakes, parks, eateries & festivals to explore -- a lifetime of things to see & do - & the Maine Coast! Love that a lot of that is just minutes away & that the college is in town...

favorite things:

My home/space; serenity; SW exposure; trees; a cottage on a lake; keeping fit; ideas & words; reading, learning, writing, designing; puzzles & games; going barefoot, flannel; whimsy; the color yellow; my mac & collie; Dr. Phil & Fr. Corapi...

last read:

Books on "type" (Myers-Briggs) and church publications, both having to do with teaching us to love one another better.... Newsweek and a daily to keep up with things... Downeast, and Bangor Metro magazines on Maine. Cottage Living... MacHome...
