Graduate of Tools and very proud. Since graduating at the end of December '07, I used all my tools to get my new job and I love it. Everyday, my life feels fuller and open to possibilities. This a complete 180 degree turn around from 1 year ago.

all questions»

what am i missing? i have been trying to date again and i am having a tough time meeting single men of my age. coach says date lots, even bad dates are learning and growth experiences, i have had 2 dates in the last 2 months, none in the previous 5 years. i have an online profile and am not afraid to make the first contact, (though not getting responses back),I have told my friends and family that i am looking and available, I volunteer at my children's activities and meet many parents. how do i get that first date and how do i get it to turn into a second date? 

this is one area of my life that is not working well, all other areas have been improving steadily since completing tools, 2 years ago. I am not unhappy, I am just ready for more and maybe need a little advice and encouragement . I could look at it that 2 dates over the past 2 months is an improvement, am i just wanting too much too soon? does this scream of desperation? i certainly hope not. any advice? encouragement? thoughts?

What is your answer?

I joined TOOLS because:
 I am changing my life and I want support in that change. I see this as a great tool to add to my support system.
You are offered your dream job. What job is it?:

My favorite wild animal is:
 Wolves.
Why (describe as much as possible):
 They are fearless but have a very strong family unit.
My favorite domestic animal is (if you choose dog be specific with breed etc):
 Manx or siamese cats
Why:
 They have very unique features. Siamese are very "talkative", I like the interaction I experience with them. Manx have big strong hind legs and are very solid.

 steak and kidney pie
Why:
 it is comfort food from my childhood
Five people either dead or alive you would have at your fantasy dinner party::
 Virginia Wolff, Mary Shelley, Jane Austen, The Bronte sisters.
Why:
 I admire what they accomplished in their lives despite different societal expectations.

If I could do anything for my neighborhood today, it would be:

A sunset I remember:
 looking out the hospital window moments after my daughter was born, the sky was lit up and a warm glow bathed me.
Any character I could be from a movie, TV show or book would be:
 Sally Fields character in Murphy's Romance (movie)
Why:
 I love how the house and ranch she moved to on her own, her strength and determination. And in the end she found love...." how do you like your eggs" is one of my favourite lines.
