Date women from United States / Arkansas / Oakland, 53 year old

Date a soulmate from Arkansas, United States. I am a person with many interests that I pursue with a passion. As a daughter of artists, I have been drawing and painting all my life. I see the world through an artists lens. Creativity in all its forms, visual arts, music, dance, writing and crafts, fascinates me. This brings out the best of who we are. I express myself creatively through water color painting and glass mosaics. I love to dance and have been studying Flamenco dance for four years. The power and sensuality of Flamenco speaks to my soul. I am fascinated by history and love to travel and experience other cultures. In the last five years I have been fortunate to be able to visit India, Egypt, China, Peru, Guatemala and Belize. I also love to travel in California, hiking, camping, kayaking and enjoying the beauty of nature. I enjoy just spending the time together no matter what we do. I have a lot of love in my heart, am affectionate and have many ways to show you that I appreciate who you are. Loyalty and sincerity mean a lot to me. My friends know I am their friend for life. Communication is essential, I am straight forward and not interested in playing games or personal drama. My life is good, I am happy but I am looking for a committed partner who shares similar interests and passions that I have and can show me new interests I might not have considered. The man I am looking for is intelligent, he has a good heart, is caring and affectionate, has a sense of humor and a curiosity about life. He is creative in some way or is interested in creativity and has many interests. He is secure in himself and appreciates a loving and secure woman.

Meet someone special from Arkansas, United States. I am an evolving woman; passionate and content but with a drive for more. I am blessed with great friends with whom I share laughter and tears. I aspire to be the Mother I want to be. (3 adult children) I am a minimalist with the exception of my heart. I embrace silence as an essential part of some conversations. I believe in volunteering as a means of keeping us connected to our amazing planet and people. I'm basically an urbanite but love to explore new cities, deserts, rain forests, oceans, anything new, near or far. I am just as comfortable in a dive as a four-star restaurant, in a marketplace in Guatemala as in a shoe boutique, or in black dress as in a pair of jeans and boots. I am an affectionate woman where hugs and kisses are part of my communication with the man I love. I am a woman who has a sassy streak that I keep well-hidden.
You are a man who knows how to hug with your mind, body and spirit. You are a guy who can wear jeans anywhere even if I get dressed up. You are a man who has the balance of calmness, childlike fun and compassion. You are someone who uses his gift of intelligence wisely. You are a man who has a stupendous sense of humor and loves to express it. BTW, I will laugh at most of your jokes.
My ideal relationship is where we are on the same page emotionally, physically and in lifeРІР‚в„ўs journey. (ItРІР‚в„ўs not just about how many activities we have in common).

I am passionate about many things, adventurous, active, spontaneous, youthful in energy and attitude. I strive to be the source of love in a world that also has adversity. I am generous of spirit and have a lot to offer in a relationship! I am thoughtful, affectionate, available, romantic, open-minded, curious, inspired and energized by people. I am a loyal and communicative partner. I have and value high integrity. You? I await your yes's!
After 10 yrs, I am moving from bucolic Marin in August.. to Oakland ! I have lead a healthy lifestyle my entire adult life; regular exercise, healthy diet (mostly vegan), no drugs, an occasional micro-brew, very little TV. I find simple joys, my glass is FULL! I've led an adventurous life in the outdoors in nature rafting, trekking, traveling, bicycling and more. I've lived worked overseas and solo-traveled many countries, so I consider myself a worldly person. My desire is you have an orientation to the outdoors and off-beat travel- I want to share these! I love to camp, but I'll take a pillow now! I also enjoy mellow, reflective times.
Nature is my spiritual connection and outlet for fitness and health. I am not hard-core, just committed to doing it! It is my profession after all. I am grounded yet spontaneous. Serious yet silly. I don't have my own kids, but have raised 1,000's as a teacher and with my private adventure kid-care. I don't need to travel to an exotic place to find beauty; it's also here in my backyard. That same trail never looks the same to me!
I crave learning new things, exploring and discussing philosophy, spiritual and personal growth- you too? I enjoy Eckhart Tolle "The New Earth", Buddhist writings, films that touch and inspire the heart and soul. Daily Show? Yes! I contribute to my world through teaching, sharing info, volunteering, and exploring the many facets of humanness! What a reflection others can be to our own growth. So, I've traversed both the outer and inner world. And I love being wrong sometimes! :)
In synch as these drive our values: politically liberal, care about social issues and the environment, care of the body and soul. Spiritual over religious- I believe in a universal spirit.
I enjoy being playful, being sexy with you, sharing our passions. My daily green smoothie! Hugs, snuggles, regular touch.
What people say they notice about me: My vibrant energy and enthusiasm, my openness, my with, humor, my smile. That I am passionate, outgoing, fit, resourceful.
What am I looking for? A great guy! A life shared in intimacy, not a solo life! Yes, I am independent and confident, but I love having someone to take care of me, pamper me, treat me like a queen! And Ill do the same for you, King!
I am looking for someone willing to share their zany sense of humor and keep me laughing! Will you get into the creativity of a costume party? Burning man? Will you stretch your boundaries? Explore with me? Say yes OR no when you mean it? Eat mangoes with chocolate sauce together on a warm beach? :) Are you willing to push some edges in your personal growth and embrace the challenges and the beauty? Forgive? Am I hearing your yes?
I want a partnership where giving and receiving merge together. I want a loyal partner that celebrates me and us and wants to embark on a journey together, inter-dependence, supporting each other, sharing life and fun! I want someone who can meet me for who I am, who has high self-worth, can open their heart, express emotionally and show compassion, appreciation, and share trust. It IS possible!
You should write me if: you believe in, are available for, and want to dive in to the possibilities of an amazing soulful, heart-based loving relationship. AND, You are interested in exploring dating and companionship FIRST! You are youthful in spirit, take care of your body and soul, are close to my age, and have common values and interest
