In their own words

Life is beautiful; even better when sharing

I would have never thought I would be at this site, but coincidences have their place in life... Some of the qualifiers that have been attributed to me are: giving, loving, nest-builder, refined, curious, creative, dynamic, strong and confident. Family and friendship are dear to my heart. I enjoy fine arts, all performing arts like theater, music,...and I love traveling. Also, I enjoy swimming, hiking and other outdoors activities.I love the feeling of being one with the nature, and in different cultural contexts...

Insights
When raising a family, how important is it that your kids learn to speak Turkish?
this is one of the few unsuccessful experiences of my life, even though I am extremely proud of my 2 'gentlemen' sons
Describe your perfect weekend.
depends on when and where, and the mood at the time...
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Not common, but it can happen if the initial attraction is coupled with real compatibilities that they happily discover to be present between them, soon after. Hence, I believe true love does not evolve from physical attraction alone; compatibility across the other 3 dimensions of partnership needs to be present for real everlasting partnerships to be built with unconditional love.
How many kids would you like to have?
I am the proud mother of 2 young men (ages 29 and 25)with golden hearts and minds.
If you could have one super power, what would it be and why?
Give motherly love and care to all those kids without parents
What is the most important lesson that you've learned?
Had a full life with all kinds of fun and accomplishments while overcoming the challenges of few boulders along the way; and working on them or to overcome them made me better along the way. Can we say almost "aged to perfection" :) I cannot be thankful enough for all I have been blessed with and blessed to experience...
What do your friends like about you most?
My sincerity, openness and my humble nature
What do your friends tease you about the most?
My insatiable curiosity and interest in so "varied" things...
What gets on your nerves?
Egocentric behavior, lies, pretentiousness, dogmatism
What is the most important thing in a relationship?
Genuine communication, true/unconditional love (non-egocentric), and authentic respect; all equally important
What's the best age to get married?
Whenever you feel you met the right one
What turns you off?
"I know it all" types, belittling others, stubbornness, and bad/non-listeners; not knowing manners in different social settings.
What turns you on?
genuine, smart, gracious and appreciative people, loving eyes, sensitive, romantic moves and self respect
What do you hope to be doing five years from now?
Living in USA and Turkey and traveling all around the world. Actually, this is something to be decided together with my life partner.
