Who I am!

It has been such a pleasure to meet so many nice people here and the opportunity to share a little about each other. This site is really a wonderful way to to be who you are and I am so grateful to Jon and others for having designed it for us!So I thought I would try and add a few more tid bits about myself and use the soap box here to tell you who I am. So let's see..I am now a fabulous 44 year old woman from Virginia who has been very fortunate most of my life to express myself as I really am. A confident, mature soul who enjoys life every precious day. I have been lucky enough to have a number of caring mentors who have taken me under their wings at various stages of my life and helped bring out the person you see. I have discarded most of my former self to embrace the body and soul of the woman I am. While there are more stages to go through I am confident and strong in my will to be me.I am a bit eclectic in my style and attitude and have always been someone who beats to different drum but find that I like being extraordinary in that way and after all..if you are going to be different than why not go all out! I don't seek to shock society yet I want to stand out as an individual. I choose my look to match my mood, I choose my friends based on their inner beauty, and I live my life in a way that gives me joy and happiness.My interests are quite varied  and would probably fill up the page here, but in boiling down the essentials I would say I love being a woman in every way imaginable. I love to shop, I enjoy the theatre and art, the water is my rejuvenating way to escape the trials of everyday life, and I especially relish many of the finer things life offers....like men...yes a challenge at times, a headache at others, but in the end worth all the aggravation when they bring you a rose or tell you you look pretty. Their smile in the morning and that kiss good night are just a slice of heaven for me. Yes a learning experience over the years for me but one where I have found completeness and the realization that I desire, want and need that special man in my life.So I live my life as Diana. I have shaped my physical, mental, and emotional foundation as the woman I am and I am proud, stubborn, and ready to take on the world!
