Ultimatelyeco, 48

My life is a mixture of work and play, and I do both with vigor and passion. I live my life with intensity. I'm strong, active, sensitive, intuitive, and intelligent.

I love to move my body, exercise my mind, nurture my soul, and live a purposeful life. I enjoy the learning associated with life's challenges, viewing them as opportunities for growth.

I have 3 kids, age 6, 10, and 11. They share time between my home and their father. I prefer to have them with me, but admit that I enjoy the quiet during their absen
