(April 2025)

More than anything else, I came to DELIGHTFULLY CONNECT, PLAY, and EXPLORE our miraculous worlds: our worlds within, our worlds without, our worlds between.

I cherish PRESENCE and AVAILABILITY, FLOW, kindness, self-connection and integrity, discernment, deep connection/attunement with Self, Life, and Other, FUN, and the dance of responsiveness in all ways and moments of life.

I'm still moved to awe and wonder at this incredibly beautiful planet and the utter miracle of Life. It's my stunned amazement at Life on Earth, and also my empathic sensibilities, that make me so passion about doing whatever I can, both personally and professionally, to contribute to humanity's evolution during this time of transition.

I'm looking for a man who brings the same mindfulness and care and to his life as I do - body, mind, heart, soul - because I'm loving my life, and I'm ready for more fun, adventure, play, and fulfillment of all kinds (both active and contemplative).


I'm most passionate about Evolutionary Thriving, which provides a framework that can guide humanity back to sustainability that honors and supports our individual and collective thriving, in harmony with the rest of life on earth.

I love to travel, and I also love to be rooted at home. (Traveling Canada, US, Baja by RV is probably in my future, either renting for specific trip(s) or full time for a year ... or longer??) My preferred mode of travel is to bask in the natural world of each place, and to connect with the people and their way of life.

I love to create beauty and ease in my living space. I need my own space, but also prefer to live in community, so I'm beginning to explore Intentional Community opportunities here in Minneapolis, and wherever I travel for extended periods of time (e.g., summers in Portland OR).

I believe we can be totally healthy from cradle to grave, and so far I'm living that reality - I'm enjoying zero health issues, the knees of a 30 year old (as my doc says), a V02 Max of 35 (my Garmin watch says my fitness age is 43), and a coronary calcium score of zero - YAY!!

I eat to minimize inflammation and support my mitochondria, which means low carb (but not keto), no grains (with "treats" like chocolate croissants or my favorite bread about once a month or less), and lots of home-fermented keystone probiotic yogurt, for starters.

Another essential part of my spirituality and life practice is creating my body/self/life from the Quantum Field. I love Joe Dispenza's Becoming Supernatural and HeartMath's work, that provide so much fabulous data on this. (I live it when the data proves what our hearts/intuition already Knew.)

I'm looking for a visionary man who's honored to use his power to serve Life, who shares and is living these core values.

Talking and getting to know each other, especially beginning with spiritual beliefs and health practices, which seem to me the two things that have the greatest influence over who we are, how we engage with the world, and how energetically, emotionally, and mentally fit we'll remain as we age.

I'm into everything from deep, attuned conversation to (warm water) scuba diving to dive bar 8-ball to Debussy.

The most common:

- biking around our wondrous Minneapolis chain of lakes & parkway (paradise, for me). Walking them is good, too, but biking is my favorite way to go around.

- potluck game nights with friends

- deep-hearted conversation/connection

- reading

- uplifting movies, without violence (noting that I did love Top Gun Maverick).

*Great example of an uplifting movie: Emma Thompson's "Good Luck to You, Leo Grand." 5/5 stars, incredibly human and beautiful, must-see

- when I have a willing companion, dive bar 8 ball, with potato skins!! (every 1-2 months?)

- dancing (argentine tango, country/2-step, ballroom)

- occasional theater plays, live music; very occasional museums

- hiking the Minnesota North Shore, Portland's Columbia River Gorge

- kayaking, canoeing, sailing (Apostles!)

- scuba diving, snorkeling (big preference for warm water!)

- swimming with whale sharks & petting gray whales in Baja

- I want to do the National Parks! Next on my list: Grand Canyon and the 5 Utah parks

I'm empathic enough that how other people feel matters to me - because I can feel it. So I've been caring about and paying attention to how I affect others since I was at least 6 years old.

It seems coded into my bones, Knowing that we're made for joyful connection and creating. I've felt Called since age 8 to support people in reconnecting with/reawakening to that. And also at age 8 completely clear I had no idea how to explain that to anybody. Since age 12, I've been mindfully learning what it means to embody/enact Source and how to bring more of that energy into this plane.

Growing up devoted to joy in a trauma inducing culture (USA) has certainly required learning how to Meet, have compassion for, own, and transform/heal my own wounds and pain.

(I seem to have been wired to have understanding and compassion for others' wounds and pain. So, learning what healthy boundaries are and how to set and maintain them kindly has been a big learning, for me. And, one of the most important things I've ever learned is that *compassion without self-care and healthy boundaries is extremely dangerous.*

I love getting older, because I've really gotten the hang of being human. I'm blessed with beautiful, luminous, deeply authentic, and emotionally/spiritually intimate relationships with the people I choose to have in my life, both personally and professionally. (Blessed, and also I worked my ass off to learn how to create such wonders.)

I'm also more and more able to create from the Quantum Field/Source with love and allowing, and a lot less planning and strategizing, especially in the realm of my dearest dreams (which include my lifework).

(I still plan what I need to buy at the grocery store for what I'm planning to cook for the coming days/week, because I love having great food ready to eat when I don't feel like cooking. There's a time and a place for everything!)

And, in my practice, my mind is the servant, not the master.

I continue to cultivate my capacity for presence and stillness.

It's all a beautiful part of the journey...
