My glass is always half full... Above all, I am a woman like most other women I have the same hopes, desires and dreams. However, I do believe that my life's journey makes me somewhat unique and sets me apart from most other women out there.

Although I do have a physical disability, the opportunities that it has presented me with have helped me become the woman I am today. It has affected me for the better and has enabled my growth both personally and in my past relationships. I am proud to say that it has helped me become independent, compassionate, caring, open-minded, a good communicator and someone who is passionate about life. Don't get me wrong, I also have some challenging days with this too!

The gentleman that I seek would be able to understand and appreciate me and my perspective in life and just like me, he'd be comfortable in his own skin! I am looking for someone who is open-minded, sincere, respectful, affectionate, and family-oriented. As well, he would be mature, a good communicator, passionate and truly a man of his word, because as the saying goes, actions speak louder than words.

In essence, I am looking for a partner to share my life with. My hope is to build a strong, mature relationship over time based on mutual trust, healthy communication, quality time together and lots of love and affection. All relationships come with their share of challenges, however at the end of the day, what means the most to me is knowing that even through adversity, my partner and I would still rather be together than not and that we are both prepared to invest all that is necessary to grow together and to make our relationship a genuine and happy one.
