Date men and women from United States / Arizona / Oro Valley, 54 year old

Date people from Oro Valley, United States. About you:
I would like to meet a kind and gentle person who enjoys nature, people, animals, the outdoors and is passionate about something in his life. It isnt as important what you are passionate about, as long as you have something that gives you joy and a reason to wake up in the morning. It would be fantastic to meet someone who also enjoys yoga, meditation, and lots of laughter. I have a wide variety of friends and am open to meeting all kinds of people for friendships. I find myself drawn to creative people who are more liberal than conservative, who enjoy taking pictures of animals rather than shooting them, who enjoy camping with a much loved horse rather than competing on broncos. On the more romantic side, I surely dont expect to find someone exactly like me, but Id love to meet someone with some of these qualities.
About me:
I have recently moved to Tucson, am finishing my internship and will soon be working as a psychotherapist. This is a passion I have pursued for a very l ong time and Im excited about it, however, I still want to live outside of work and share the simple things such as a movie, dinner, or even just a walk in the beauty of the desert, with someone special. My late husband passed away almost two years ago and I feel it is time to begin dating again. I really loved being married and enjoy the company of others. I am known as being happy, high energy, giving, and loyal. I am health conscience; eat mostly vegetables and fruits, and try to do yoga regularly. I like to stay active rather than sit by a TV. A friend just told me about a country western dance place I might begin attending for the dancing and exercise. I use to teach dance and still enjoy it from time to time. I defend the underdog and dont enjoy harming others for any reason...animals or people. I enjoy gardening immensely.
Thinks I do not want in my life:
Cruelty, drugs and alcohol, cigars, hunters and people who harm animals in any other way; like rodeos, dog fighting, fishing, fighting, violence. I am a vegatarian and prefer to eat things I dont have to kill first. I would love to meet another person who is also passionate about respecting the lives of others(meaning human and other animals).
