I love to live life to its fullest; and I find joy in every moment, no matter how spectacular or mundane. One of the greatest joys in my life has been my two beautiful phenomenal boys/young men. However, the greatest joy in my life is my personal relationship with God, which does not come packaged in any one religion but includes beliefs and practices of many. I was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, which means that it is in my blood to be an excellent Cajun-Creole culinary artist and a New Orleans Saints fanatic. I am a proud public health servant and love the work that I do because it helps to save lives. I love to travel; listen to recorded or live music; go to movies, plays, art or natural history museums; dance, sing, garden, meditate, and read, especially spiritual books. I love discovering new places, meeting new people, and doing new things, as well as enjoying and appreciating being at home, spending time with the people closest to me, and my daily life. I'd like a man in my life who share many of my interests and who can accept and respect me and my perspective; although, his may be different. I like me and my life. Any man in my life needs to like himself and his life also. I want someone who is drama free and who can bring more joy into my life and whom I can hopefully do the same.
