I am divorced and have raised my 2 children alone for the last 16 years. My daughter is a 19 year old HS graduate and my son is a 20 year old college freshman. I'm not against marriage but I made the decision not to remarry until they have grown and gone. It's the best job I've ever had, and the hardest. My kids are now grown and virtually gone, so I'm reconsidering a few things in my life. Time to move on, in a manner of speaking. I'm a professional by day, and an aspiring writer in my free time. I have published one book and am in the process of publishing book #2. I have written a column for the local newspaper for many years as well. I have recently begun writing screenplays as well. I am thankful to God for my many blessings. I'm interested in meeting an intelligent and passionate woman of color. I have been involved in a couple of interracial relationships and they have been wonderful, very positive experiences. You are independent not needy; you enjoy taking care of yourself - physically, emotionally and spiritually; are positive and realistic; enjoy fine wine and like to travel; are not a control freak; you do not NEED to be the center of attention but if you just happen to be, that's OK with me; and finally, you share a low tolerance for games and drama. I am naturally attracted to women of color. I have found them to be passionate, and they have a way of moving with a man that I find to be very erotic. So, you could be African American - my preference, Native American, Hispanic, Italian, Jewish, or even a very tanned Caucasian woman. :)
