Meet a soulmate from Lafayette, United States. I am a 62 yr old widow, psychotherapist and artist. I love my work and making art. I also love to garden. I grow fruits and vegetables year round and enjoy using them to cook and bake and share them with others. In a former part of my life i taught cooking and was a caterer. I have had many careers before I settled into this one about twenty years ago.My grown children are important to me and I like to have them in my life. I have many friends and make friends easily. I am outgoing and enjoy socializing and I like to spend time alone with someone I can talk to, enjoy and be intimate with. I enjoy movies, art events, traveling and trying new restaurants. But I also like some time to myself for reflection, making art, reading and writing. I am a good listener and genuinely am interested in other people. I like to walk, and exercise (bike and pilates). I had a great relationship with my husband of 30 years ( 35 together) and I loved that we laughed a lot and could be playful with one another. While I know this next relationship will be different ( how could it not be?), I look forward to meeting a man who shares my interests, values , curiosity and zest for living. Intelligence, kindness, compassion, a willingness to emotionally engage and love another, an interest in the arts and a sense of humor are what I am looking for. If you're attractive all the better. People tell me I still look great and I am more youthful and active than my age would suggest. I have a great sense of style and my clothes and my home reflect my eclectic tastes. I am not a big fan of long protracted internet conversations. I like to meet and get a sense of someone in person. I would say that I am a warm, engaging and passionate person but that also depends on the sense of connection I feel between me and the other person. I prefer to be with a Jewish man because a) I had a great experience with one and b) because I have this idea that a Jewish man would get me and appreciate me more than a non-Jew. Hopefully, I will not be proved wrong about this! I am a liberal and irreverent at times and enjoy that in someone else.
I grew up in Queens NY, spent eleven years in Boston, and then moved out to the Bay Area, where I have lived for the past 33 years. I went to the High School of Music and art in Manhattan. My undergraduate degree is in Art, My graduate degree in Psychology. I continue to study and advance in my career. [^]
