Antsu-in-Japan

Hello, BlackPlanet!! I`m originally from Florida but live and work as a consultant for a wedding company in Japan (where I was just granted permanent residency). Ever dream of getting married in a kimono or traveling to the land of the rising sun to see a traditional festival? Just let me know!

When I`m not traveling or singing, I`m in the kitchen or studying something new! Check out the pictures I took of my very own homemade crabcakes and strawberry cream pie. The octopus salad was a dish created for me by a Japanese friend. By the way, the food pictures are not desperate attempts to get a man`s attention. I simply LOVE to cook good food!! And being part 'southern belle' (a 1/4 cup Georgia and a pinch of Louisiana), I love a man who doesn't mind doing his thing in the kitchen! Also, I recently graduated with a masters degree from the George Washington University School of Business (I was the valedictorian of my department...VERY proud about that!!). My specialties include Sports Management, Events/Meeting Management and Destination Management. My ultimate dream is to open a holistic spa (one that caters specifically to us Black folk!!) somewhere out in the countryside. You know...a place where we can get away from it all with clean air, delicious organic food, exercise, massage and pampering like you've never experienced!

At 41, I feel FABULOUS and sense that I am only getting better...much better! I love to travel (see pictures of Hawaii, Paris and Peru below...and check out my map). As for foreign languages, I speak Japanese, as well as a little French and Korean. In addition to racquetball, working out, massage and cooking, I also enjoy reading, making pottery, bowling, canoeing and camping, watching sports (basketball, baseball and football!!), volunteering in my community and surrounding myself with positive, caring people. I truly value my family and friends...they are priceless. Life is a very short gift so I don't dare waste it being a negative, dishonest person. Though I consider myself to be a patient, understanding woman, I simply have no tolerance for social, racial or environmental injustice. I am a strong believer in the notion that what you send out returns ten-fold, as well as what is done secretly in the dark will eventually come to light.

I thank GOD that my parents taught me to be a respectable lady. For those of you wondering why I don't have a half-naked or full-body picture of myself posted on here, it has absolutely nothing at all to do with being ashamed of my body. I'm into healthy living, eating and I practically live at the gym (4 to 5 days each week). At this point in my life, I'm simply more interested in attracting attention to the warm spirit that radiates from my heart and the intelligence that lies beneath my beautiful locs.

I'm not looking for love in here...just some stimulating, friendly, up-to-date conversation from 'home.' So, please don't be a stranger...drop by whenever you have time. Stay happy, healthy and blessed!!

PS...This life only comes around once...you'd better use it right!!
