About Me:

My profile pic is a photo of an oil painting I painted & gifted to a friend years ago. I enjoy many creative outlets. I'm an artist & writer, among many other hats I wear. ‍ ‍ ️

I put my all into everything I do. I get excited about so many projects I want to do, I work hard, & stay crazy busy--except when I'm set on being unbusied. I'm persistent enough to accomplish things which at first glance, might seem unattainable. I'm passionate about my relationship with Heavenly Father, family, the gospel, & service, especially when it comes to providing resources & support to single mamas & their children who are challenged by similar hard times as I survived.

I love life, & I'm intent on making the best of mine, despite my tendency to choose the hardest path for the greatest rewards. I am a survivor in a true sense of the word.

I love to dance, especially swing (tho it's been a while). I also love to sing, play, & spend time with those I love, especially the grandkids. I wish I could spend more time with my grands & family!

I am a nester. I love to stay home, & especially to return home after being away. Trips are nice for a while, but I prefer to be grounded in my own surroundings that I can always improve & beautify. I love nature & country living--I'm not a city girl. I've lived in the forest & wooded mountains most of my life. Currently I live on my acre+ in a 1932 homestead in northern CA near the redwoods & ferns. I manage 3 properties, & love what I do, although I'm constantly challenged.

I want to stay near my grandchildren for now, so don't see myself moving any time soon, unless I can somehow bring them all with, LOL! That could change with time; unfortunately the little kiddos grow up. I have a big thing for antiques, & can be quite eccentric about that.️️‍‍

LDS singles I'd Like to Meet:

... meet a new best friend, perhaps with similar desires, needs, & qualities that might make us a well yoked compatible match--a man who is romantic, playful, can make me laugh, & be brave & strong enough to embark on building, bonding, working hard, & facing future blessings & trials together, come what may. I'm confident we all want to be accepted & appreciated as we are, for our differences & our similarities. But only those who are exceptionally special possess the skill, commitment, & fortitude necessary to slowly create the joyous blessings of a 3-way union with the Lord as our foundation. I'm patient, open, & can wait. I trust He knows what & who we each need.

It seems to be a bit of a 'Mysttrie' how to establish mutually timed connections here, especially long enough to get to know one another. If you're one who turns on the charm with a gusto of enthusiasm, then just drops away abruptly without an explanation, please don't. Ghosting only shows one's weaknesses. A real gentleman cares for a lady's feelings enough to clarify & deliver an honest explanation, even when that's hard to do. :wink:

Church of Jesus Christ:

⛪ My faith is intact & my covenants & spiritual connection my first priority in relationship. I love that HF wants us to be happy & to have joy. My most memorable favorite scriptures are 2 Nephi 2: 25 ..."men are that they might have joy," & Matthew 22: "37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." Love is the greatest joy we can feel, hold, & give. And giving well (i.e. serving) is pure joy. I'm grateful I
have much heart & soul to give.
