I am a 38 years old African American woman. I am a High School Special Education Teacher in Bronx, New york and have been married for almost four years.  I do not have children of my own but love all children. My style is simple, classy with a hint of sensuality.  I love to shop for shoes and my favorite designer pocketbooks are COACH.  What I love about life is that it really is what you make it.  I try to have and experience everything because one, I deserve it and death is final, there is no coming back from that for a second chance to do anything.  The last thing I purchased for a friend was a book from Barnes and Nobles titled A New Earth by Eckerhart Toole. I love to decorate and gift wrap, the beach, traveling, and long car rides.  My favorite color is turquoise, my favorite number is 10, favorite day of the week is Wednesday, and my favorite foods are shrimp and pizza. I love jazz, and R & B music and my favorite television show is The Doctors.  I come from a very large, close family with over 200 cousins that all live here in New York and it is a wondeful experience blending my culture with that of my husband's and his family (Puerto Rican).
