I am a warm, caring, effervescent woman, a good listener. I am optimistic and I believe in the limitlessness of all of us, and making dreams come true. I am bisexual and monogamous; meaning, I am looking for my true soul mate and I'm open to the person's gender. I am totally blind and I am deeply proud of what I see as my blind culture, which includes blind and visually impaired people, and sighted people who use all their senses and don't depend solely on their vision. Over the years I have adopted the words "blind is beautiful" as an affirmation to myself and to other blind friends and beloveds of mine. I am deeply inspired by cultural movements, such as the Black Power movement, and the slogan "Black is beautiful" inspired me to come up with my own, "blind is beautiful". My passion is my creativity, first and foremost my singing and then my writing. I write poetry and romance/love stories in fantasy/sci-fi settings, and one day I may have something finished and polished enough to publish. As for my singing, I've spent all my life singing, such as karaoke contests, with chamber choruses, and for friends' weddings, etc, but I've only recently let go of the futility of trying to settle on a "real" job or career path that I don't really want, and embraced the reality that singing is the career path I want to take, so any "real job" or career path has to encompass my passion for singing and music. I attend an LGBT-inclusive Lutheran church, and I am also deeply metaphysical and have a huge respect for paganism. I work with stones and crystals for healing and positive magical purposes, and I am intuitive and somewhat psychic as well. I love going out for coffee with friends, walking on the beach or outdoors, especially rocky beaches where I can find naturally smooth stones for my collection. My hair is long and straight except when I perm it, and then it's as curly as I can get it. I love going out to do karaoke with friends, and just spending quality time getting to know each other. I value my friendships very much, as my friends are my family of choice and I'm not close to the one I was born to, though I pray for their well-being from afar. I like to get to know someone by starting as friends, and that way, if there is no chemistry, there's a new friendship. But if there is chemistry, we make a solid foundation of friendship upon which to build our romantic relationship. I do want children with the right person, and I'm open to having them naturally or by adoption. I dream of adopting a little blind girl so I can show her how lovely she is just as she is, and how worthy she is just as she is, and most of all, to give her the experience of having at least one blind parent who is proud of her blindness, and if the other parent is sighted, she will feel unconditionally loved by both of us. I've always been one to stick up for the underdogs in our society. Dearest to my heart are those of us with disabilities and sexual orientations other than str8t, who have had to deal with misunderstanding and judgment from the dominant cultures for so long. I feel my life purpose is to make a difference in the world, and the best way I know to do that is through my singing and my writing. When I fall in love, I love with all my heart, and I do my best to let that person know they are loved. While I am divorced, the divorce was amicable, so I am best friends with my ex-husband and his current girl friend. I am very loving and loyal to my friends, as I am with one I love romantically.

As this website only has man or woman as choices, I was forced to choose one or the other as my choice. In truth, I am seeking my soul mate whether that person is a man or a woman ... I am looking for a fellow idealist, or at least someone idealistic enough to support me in my idealism. I am totally open to race and culture and spiritual affiliation. I'd love for my soul mate to attend church with me, every now and then, if only so they can meet the people I worship with and hear me sing in the choir and just to be with me. And I'd like to attend whatever functions they attend, too, whether it turns out we both are of the same faith, or whether they be of any other faith, Jewish, pagan, Unitarian, or whatever. I would prefer someone who is spiritual and metaphysical, whatever other beliefs they hold. I'm open to all body types, and I have a preference for someone with a lot of hair. My ideal is long and curly or in an Afro ... but as long as there is a lot of hair and my soul mate loves having it played with as much as I love to play with hair, that's what matters most to me. I am seeking someone who is drug-and-disease free as I am, and someone who is clean and values personal hygiene as I do. I'm a hopeless romantic, and I'm a sucker for love songs and duets between singers who love each other, such as Tim and Faith in the country world, or several soul duos you could name. So, my ultimate dream is to meet someone who also loves to sing and play music, so we can sing duets together and form a singing duo or band. I want to sing to my lover and be sung to by him or her. While my ex-girl friend was a vegetarian, and I respected her for that and loved her cooking, I'm not a vegetarian, and my concerns lean more towards social issues in the human world, especially in the disabled and LGBT communities. Since my ex-girl friend respected my choice in eating meat, I ask the same from the person I meet if they are vegetarian or vegan. I am looking for someone who knows how to spend quality time getting to know me as a friend first, and then as a lover if we click that way. I'd like him/her to be kind and considerate of other's feelings, articulate, communicative, and supportive. I'd like the person to have good people skills, especially with me, and to know how to communicate even in the midst of hard situations, like arguments or misunderstandings, things that will naturally come up in any relationship. I don't resort to name-calling or any other subtle forms of emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, and I don't tolerate it in others I relate with, not even friends. Respect is of utmost importance to me. I am looking for someone who wants to love only me and be in a monogamous relationship with me, marriage if a man, commitment ceremony if a woman until same-sex marriage is legalized. I want my partner to be open to having a child or two with me, and if they have their own, that's fine, too. I would like to be with someone who understands the interdependence of relationships, who will let me care for him/her emotionally as well as do the same for me. I look forward to hearing from all who are interested in getting to know me and getting to know more about me. I want to connect with someone who is looking for their soul mate, who can love me with unrestrained passion as I would love them.
