Hello All,

I think it can be difficult to see all the beauty of who were are when we are trying to pick our dignity up off the floor. I was inspired by the words in a separate post - about who we are to all the people in our life, all the incredible roles we play (and do well) and all the incredible qualities we bring. I thought - hey what would I say about myself if I wanted to date or even find a friend ...

I think this is something I would say:

***

Busy with full-time doctoral studies, family and friends, I am interested in meeting others who share similar passions to my own. I am committed to social justice and enjoy heated debates and authentic dialogue. I am a relentless and avid reader, from Dr. Seuss to Foucault, and I absolutely love to laugh.

I'm an adventurist, and I'll try anything once, well maybe even twice. I've ran a marathon, was a professional dancer before university, and recently traveled to South Africa - it changed my life to be sure. I am interested in all sorts of people - however, conservative politics and me - don't really go together. I am a great listener and very insightful. I wear my heart on my sleeve, and my passion for laughter and life is infectious. I am forgiving.

Some favorites of mine: CBC radio, outdoor concerts, road-trips, camping, the North, chocolate, daisies, wool socks, hostels preferred to hotels, and i prefer Birks to heels (but I scrub up nicely). TED.Com is my favorite website.

***

So that's how I describe myself today.

Focusing on your strengths and attributes, how would you describe yourself?

Me.

I like this idea; the 'do a personals ad'! I wonder if anyone will follow suit? I know it would take me DAYS to figure out what to say!
C'mon, Girls!!! lets do this! Who is more brave than I and can sell your sweet ass? let's here it!

Dee I would so date you!

You don't even need to 'sell' me on it - I've read enough
of your posts to know - we'd be great company. That
and I love a good yeast infection story.

So - come on fellow posters - shine the light on yourself
and let us know who you Really are/were/wanna be ... outside A land.

Cheers,
Jodi
